Miles got fired at LSU for a reason, there is also a reason why no other school has wanted to hire since he was fired. As far as Tee, I like him, but there are better options at OC. Everyone salivates over Tee just because he played at UT. I think Mike Leach would be a better hire.

Yep and the Vol Navy could be flying the UT pirate flags on gameday

Just wondering... Gus is staying at Auburn and one of his conditions was autonomy - and they agreed. Saban has it. Jimbo now has it. What are the real chances that UT is ready to do the same? To me this has always been the sticking point for ANY realistic hire like a Jon Gruden. Are they ready to or has the administration truly made that philosophical change?

Well, its morning time and I told you all I would come in and report.

I have nothing to report yet. I'm still in the same boat as last night. Left it as "everything went well". Still waiting to get something of substance to tell you guys, as soon as I do, you will be the second to know. Ill tell my wife first.

Also, I sent a text to Clifton. Lets see what he says. He was with Fulmer this weekend.

Here’s what i don’t understand. Why the secrecy surrounding Gruden now? He wanted to wait till the end of season. Fine. But why now? Why hasn’t even Phil put the Grumors to rest? Why hasn’t Gruden? Information is flowing like water regarding other coaching candidates. The way a normal search happens. Only 2 conclusions make sense to me: 1) Phil doesn’t want to embarrass the school anymore on a public scale so he won’t address what everyone all ready thought was a pipe dream. Gruden doesn’t want his name associated at all with TN because of how embarrassing last week was and how his current employer ripped us to shreds. Or 2) they have met and agreed and are just waiting till tomorrow to announce it. Either way, I’m ready for the Grumors to end.

I think coaches will still be hesitant to come to UT because the AD only has a 2 year contract.

I'll ask again...why is everyone so nega-Grude this morning? What happened?

From the reports of the coaches we are interviewing, and different people Hubbs, Vol Colonel, and others saying Gruden is not an option.

the easy hire here is Les Miles....its better than any other person we could interview other than Gruden. So if Miles would take the Job...then why are we talking to Chad Morris or anyone else? If Gruden is out....and I would like to think that someone knows the answer to that question by now....then hire Miles and lets end this thing!

Hypothetically.

You're Phil and it's your decision 100%.

Haslam tells you he will admit to paying players while you were coach. You know it's true.

He tells you if you hire (insert your top choice, Gruden, Petersen etc.) he tells.

If you hire (insert your least attractive coach, Doeren, Schiano etc.) he keeps quiet.

Whatcha do?

just shooting from the hip here....to the head with an ace of spade at his side....but that's just me :blink:

Looks like everyone forgot their xanax this am. Anyone ever seen a pack of Hyenas eat? They cram in around the meat ferociously and as soon as a vulture or another critter or a noise happens they scatter like scared chickens and gradually creep back in to eat more. Thats how this thread works.

Faith waning and all that. Its not faith if it wanes.

i dunno. jesus spoke of no faith, little faith, and great faith. seems to me there can be varying degrees of faith, but faith nonetheless. just sayin' ...

You go directly to compliance and get Haslam COMPLETELY removed from anything UT, IMMEDIATELY.

It's been reported that Fulmer's actual contract is open ended and doesn't specify a time. Hyams read that directly from the contract on 104.5 this morning.

I think with the current mess of the situation...the Grumors have put themselves to sleep. At least, I am betting that is what Phil thinks
