The day I trust Hart and his 2 Alabama assistants that he brought with him to do the right thing and make the right hire, will be the day hell freezes over. I say pack their Alabama asses up and sent them on their way.not

IMO there is no way on earth that Hart will hire a coach here that could upstage Saban at Bama his Alma Mater.

I just called my niece to find out anything else about the convo. She said he was in this afternoon and told her this then. Said Majors felt pretty good about the hire as well.fwiw

I'm getting a little miffed at the Strong zealots stooping to questioning school loyalty, Vol loyalty, and even (about 500 pages back) racism (gasp).

I think blind loyalty at this point should be questioned. Neyland stadium has always been a great destination, even in down years, but this SHOULD BE the low water mark. To be more precise, that ASS WHIPPING in Nashville should be the low water mark.

What could potentially happen is that we go with yet another coach who is unproven in the big arena. Louisville IS NOT the big arena. As far as the racism thing is concerned, to me, it's not a problem, only in the aspect that the race card has been played already by Charlie Strong. I'm not trying to judge one way or another - but lets just say hypothetically that the coach that got the job (Urban Meyer?) just might have been a better candidate and Strong says it's because he has a white wife. I dunno.. I just don't like it. If he's gone there before, he may again.

OK let's be fair and cut some slack here too. Could it be that was the real reason he was passed over? We will never know, because we weren't involved. We don't have all the facts. One fact we do have however is that in his mind, he feels like he was passed over because he has a white wife, and if that wasn't the reason, it's like Aesops sour grapes story.

America is changing. There are plenty of black sucess stories around if you look. Tony Dungee comes to mind and others. Let me be crystal clear before you flame me, I do not have a problem AT ALL with UT having a black coach. I just don't like a victim attitude that could accompany that.

I'm just saying that this story makes me nervous, and I'm talking race, but not playing the race card, because Strong already played it. Just pointing it out.

Strong was passed over for HC jobs by 6 other schools after interviewing with them!

If Gruden goes back to pros for 2013 Goodell is going to probably pop him with an immediate multi-game suspension for violating NFL anti-tampering rules which prohibit contact with other teams assistants coaches during the season. He must also seek permission from the club to talk to assistants but u must wait til after season has been completed!

It's not anti-tampering if he was talking about assistants for here and it fell apart. Also, can you show me any documentation this is actually against NFL rules? I can't see you being literate enough to know the rules.

We can all speculate at best. I want the best possible coach available, and I know every VFL feels the same way. I can appreciate and welcome any debate regarding my school, and its coaching decision. I am tired of below average seasons like everyone, but seriously folks? Fighting ourselves is not the answer. If the AD does not hire the coach I want, what can I do? Speculate, *****? I have no choice in this matter, because I have no say so. I am a Tennessee Volunteer and no matter who leads my school on the field of SEC battle every Saturday in Neyland, those players are playing their hearts out for my school. I want Gruden bad, just like everyone does. If this Strong info is true, I may be disappointed but I AM the representative of my school and these student athletes are representing my beloved Volunteers. Might not agree, but I'll cheer for TENNESSEE! Go Gruden! or Strong or whoever the hell they decide on.
