Can't turn my mind off. Maybe Hart is breaking in a new organizational model and will field a football team next year without a head coach. You know as a cost-cutting measure. Might be his way to get atheletic reserves back to respectable levels.

i haven't bothered to read the other 700-odd pages of postings, so if this has been mentioned, please forgive me...

my parents, who live in Knoxville, just had a discussion this evening with a local restauranteur who told them the following:

Coaches Majors and Gruden, along with their wives, were dining at the restaurant owner's place last week... Coach Gruden brought her a photo to place on her wall (which, if you know the restaurant, is covered with Vol football photos)...

CJG said he loves her place, it's his favorite restaurant (also featured at one time on Blackledge's "Taste of the Town")... Coach Majors was hinting and making innuendo all evening that CJG would be the next HC of the the University of Tennessee... announcement coming within the next week...

The restauranteur also told my parents that construction is progressing on CJG's new home in Sevier County...

that's what i have to report... flame away...

I don't know if this has any merit or not but this was posted on TOS message board.


A deal is on the table, agreed upon in principle by both parties, an 8 year contract worth $ 54 million. The Haslam family has also chipped in an ownership share of the Cleveland Browns for Gruden, the Browns of course, being the newest Haslam family business venture. Gruden is waiting out his Tampa Bay buyout payments, which conclude in early December. Gruden is assembling a top shelf staff, including Raheem Morris. His staff will firm him up on NCAA rules, recruiting, and the like. Gruden and Dooley are close. Gruden has made it clear he wanted some "buffer" between his announcement and Dooley's firing, to avoid further embarrassment to Dooley. The big money (and I mean big money) donors and boosters have instructed Dave Hart to back up the Wells Fargo truck to Gruden's house and make this happen. The issue of "control" is being used as a smokescreen. Gruden will have football program say-so over any and every thing he wishes, short of any academic regulations or NCAA rules violations. Carte Blanche. Yes, Gruden has it made at ESPN, but is itching to get back on the sidelines. The only college job he is even considering is Tennessee. He quickly thanks but no thanksed Arkansas (notice he has not done this to Tennessee). If he doesn't come to Tennessee, he goes back to the NFL Johnny Majors and Peyton Manning have aggressively lobbied Gruden to take the job. There is a University of Dayton (Gruden's alma mater) annual alumni event this Saturday. Gruden has spoken at this event every year for the last 9 years. He has cancelled this year with a vague "scheduling conflict" excuse. His replacement speaker, Chuck Noll, let slip that "I guess Jon will be in Knoxville next weekend..."

Another cost-cutting move. Let a Blender clone of Gruden coach. Bet we could get a "right of publicity" for much less than a coaching contract. Its not so far fetched. Soon government will be run by animated clones.

Well I see many of you are shall we say, squeamish. I am sorry to say that if I do not finish this man-beast it will surely haunt my dreams this night. The only solution is to share the final glory with all of you, but I must advise you to not click the following link! It is pure nightmare fuel and is neither safe for work nor life. Please understand, this creature will haunt me otherwise. Spare the banstick as I gave ample warning!


NSFW - Not Safe for Work (or eyes or life), hope you all have a nightlight:

I laughed out loud...literally. At my son's hoops practice amongst a bunch of parents, took to laughing uncontrolably. People looking at me like WTH?

Strange. I didn't know there was anything going on anywhere else in the world. Now, here I am flipping on the TV and cartoonnetwork has daffy duck on, but, it isn't the same daffy duck voice I remember. When did daffy lose his job and who replaced him?
