Was Lamonte's dismissal of "rumors" over the top to try and dissuade any future media from questioning Gruden regarding to UT (like the Mike and Mike interview where Gruden came off very awkward)?

Yes. A lot of media are saying it wasn't really true, it seems to be extreme to make it seem like it was no where near true. I can't tell if it means they want the media and everyone to chill because of the timing or this deal tanked and they want to save Hart's face.

and he Woodberry tweeted that he has been texting and leaving messages for LaMonte regularly and LaMonte finally called him back!

Sad to say but situation looks very bleak for the Volunteers. Anyone other than Gruden is a distant distant second choice. Tenn Football --- Never the Bride always the Bride's Maid.

i just received a call from memphis from a source that has been semi close to the situation. She has nothing to gain from calling me and telling me and everything she has said has aligned with boro, etc. She is not a ut grad nor is on this board. She was firm when she stated this was not over and disregard what gruden's agent has said.

I for one believe that this deal is not over and there are way too many weird things surrounding this situation. I am still keep a gllimpse of hope for now. Tifwiw

People who were skeptical had plenty of flak thrown their way throughout all of this.

Don't know how many were given flak for being skeptical but the ones that were just 100% he's not coming and you're an idiot for thinking so, deserved whatever flak they got. So the ones saying it was Gruden was wrong but they are still here so I don't believe they were trolling. Could have been very real and as usual our athletic department just F'd it up so the media and naysayers are free to say, haha told ya so. If we hire Golden or Franklin, get used to bring an SEC bottom feeder!

Okay...

I went back and read Lamonte's comments.

Way over the top.

Expressing anger over a potential snag to Hart?

Smokescreen?

I may be jumping back on. LOL!

I think Hart overplayed his hand and just got kicked in the sack. The only way this has a chance now is for Haslem to get on a plane with a suitcase full of money and go close this deal that little boy Hart couldn't close.

IF IF IF, there was ever any deal in the first place.

I'm still leaving the door open for the Grudes to be our coach. But I like the idea of bringing in Strong and retaining Graham, Hinshaw, Pittman and Chaney. I don't know enough about Jimbo what is the knock on him?

You know those videos where someone gives a friend or relative a fake lottery ticket and they get all excited just to find out it's fake? It's kind of funny for the person watching but feels like crap to the person that was scammed.

You guys are so damn emotional.

LaMonte's presser literally made me laugh out loud. The people mud-slinging in here may say folks who believe this could happen are delusional and biased, but take a look in the mirror. So many contradictory things in that statement. If you can't see them, you're the one being biased.

MULTIPLE (from all angles, pro-Gruden and anti-Gruden alike) sources straight up render a good 50% of LaMonte's article as BS. When Hargis (who's vesting his career on his report) AND Wes effin' Rucker are aligning that the article is bogus - who are you going to believe? An agent, who is paid to manipulate and lie, or two reporters who, though are chasing different ends and have varying degrees of credibility, are paid to find the truth?

The fact that the statement is so gung-ho, and is just now coming out after that slam-dunk Chattanooga article last night says two things:

1.) Something has definitely happened between to two parties and implies that Hargis was a lot closer to the truth than some people realize.

2.) This puts even more pressure on Hart/UT Boosters to get this thing done. It's basically an agent taking a pot-shot at us saying there's no way we're in play, when anyone with a functioning brain knows we are and have been.

It's either a ploy to sweeten the pot for Gruden by forcing more pressure, or it's trying to divert from the process (which was coming to a head) to slow the roll of everything coming together.

Relax folks...jeeze. Use your heads.

spill it.

to the people pissed at you for sharing information... gfy. Even if you were wrong, doesn't matter. You went with what info you had.

I always 100% told the truth about what was said to me and in my presence. I never made one thing up, never said 100% he IS coming, and never once closed the door to the possibility of being wrong. Thats all I can do. I have posted pictures of my family and people I know and have talked to. I am just unsure why all the vitriol toward me specifically when I never offered a guarantee. I only posted what I was hearing and being told. Jake, Lex, GMan, Boro, and Jayvols all know who I am personally, where I work, and who told me what.

If I were going to bring bull**** to the board I would have gone to far greater lengths to conceal my identity from everyone lol.

I still believe Gruden is our next coach. If not, by God, I'm going down with the Gruden ship.
