Morning Grudes. I'm with others that say "no coach by Friday means something with Gruden".......However(Steven A. Smith voice) I think we will have a coach this week. No insider knowledge just looking at timelines and coaches gathering on New York this week.

Coasty it adds up perfectly fine. Gruden is an attention whore and needed his fix. He got it and when it came go time he wouldn't say yes! End of story

If you believe that was the total story... then I agree... but nothing is making sense at all because I think there is more to it.

I have publicly stated I think (I have my reasons) it will be Strong.... but i hold out the slightest hope for Gruden, because he is who I want

The deal is not completely dead yet, but the ball is in his court.
Till then...The university has to move forward.
The media is clueless on what happened, I've seen more accurate reporting on here than anywhere else.

Enjoy your Sunday.
Go Vols

This has gotten embarrassing. We should know when it's time to move on, just use some common sense and all that.

But I'll let you have your fun and quit complaining about how you're contributing to the embarrassment on Tennessee football on a national level.

Carry on, Grudenites!

Here is my post from YESTERDAY that got buried,just wanted to re-post it:

"OK..No one can convince me that Hart just started the coaching search and that he has been sitting on his rear doing nothing for the last couple weeks..From what I heard, he was at the men's basketball game last week relaxing and taking it easy..Think about it, if he didn't have his man in the bag, don't you think he would would have been all over the place trying to get a coach locked up and ready to sign?

I think Gruden received his last payment from TB on Nov.29th or 30th..The way I understand if he takes a coaching job before the payments are complete, then he doesn't receive said payment..Can't blame him for waiting on that because he was fired from TB so he deserves every penny that comes his way.

Then there's the MNF factor..He could be waiting to finish out the season on Dec.17th which is in Nashville..Coincidence..I think not..Then again this may not be a factor at all..Just throwing in my :twocents:."

Just think it's too soon(no pun intended) to throw in the towel..I'm in the minority but that's ok I can understand how others feel.

I read your post and thought it made a lot of sense, definitely more than 2 cents! :)

1. Why does it matter to you?

2. When UTK hires a coach.

Pretty simple.

I find your obsession with others thoughts and opinions to be a little compulsive and petty.

Pretty dumb post, seeing as though you're literally doing the exact same thing to what I posted. Think before you speak and all that

But my obsession isn't with your thoughts and opinions, it's with the University of Tennessee, something that I love enough to realize that when we're being laughed at, is time to man up and show the world who we are : A united fan base hungering for wins that re not attached to the delusion that only one man could make possible. It's disheartening that these people have such a low opinion of UT and its capabilities.

I'm just owing going to stop right there, it became redundant to me to continue this rant, particularly to, such an ill conceived quote.

Carry on

I would like to know how discussing Gruden and even if we feel the likelihood is small is embarrassing UT.

That story does fit into Making the OG's story legit. I believe they were told many accurate things and the only thing missing from them being accurate was Grudens willingness to keep his word.

I have a question maybe one of the OG's can answer?

Lets just say if Gruden is waiting for MNF to be over and that's part of his deal with the AD or boosters brokering the deal and that is not until Dec. 22, as impatient as Vols fans are, do you really think they can string this coaching search for another 20 or 21 days without finally caving into the pressure of needing to say something????? I'm just curious because if we are considering Fisher, Strong, Gundy, etc... I think it would be fair to them also to move on.

I posted this early this morning and most of you were not on VN. Just throwing it out there for you guys.

Just a thought here:

Think about this angle for a minute. The deal with Gruden was done and agreed to in principal through the big money guys. When they sat down and laid it all out for Hart, he got the red a$$ about something whether it was a control issue or the fact that he was not involved in the dealings which could be were the Thursdays blow up that others talked about happening originated.

This leads to Hart raising a little stink and the money guys appease him by letting him do a “coaching search” and interview possible candidates for the job with the understanding that he brings his top candidate to the table and the money guys bring Gruden with the best option and deal for UT being the choice.

This would explain the announcement by his agent and the AD that Gruden was off the table because a true and fair coaching search could not happen if every available candidate that Hart would want to interview thought the job was Gruden’s before they interviewed.

I may be way off base with this thought and a thought is all it is. I just can’t see that UT and the money guys are going to trust the next 4 or 5 years and the future of the football program to the names that have been listed as possible hires.

Exactly. If the rumors were false why not laugh about it? Instead his demeanor totally changed and he wanted to stop talking about it immediately.
