Strong believes he has an offer to be Tennessee's coach. And we have been told that he does.

Gundy believes he can be Tennessee's coach and is going to tell them something tomorrow.

I think Strong has wanted the job. But has Tennessee really offered the position to two coaches? That's not commonplace in a coaching search and how does that end?

Lots of stuff being thrown around tonight to try and sort through.

I just do my best to detract my emotion from sensationalized stories and look at the facts, assuming there are any. I guess my fair share. We all do, but I tend to be pretty level headed and won't build a mountain of anything off of rumors (like many here are so quick to do).

Macgruder! My thinking buddy. You think there's any coincidence to Hart and Gruden both being in New York tonight? And do you think anything could "come from it?"

If they are indeed both there, I absolutely think there's something to it, especially how the AD's starting spinning this story of Hart "needing one more interview" to take place tonight/early tomorrow before a decision is made.

Now, finding out whether Gruden is actually there or not isn't something I've been able to verify over the last few hours.

Like the rest of you I am a bit confused and grasping, but this much i DO KNOW. Stephen Hargis is a quality old school reporter, as is the Times Free Press a quality newpaper. Unlike radio, TV, and some of the tabloid like rags in in Knoxville. The TFP is pretty old school about verifying sources. more so when they make a Sports story their front page headline.... They stuck by the story even after the fact. So if their article is accurate then Gruden WAS the man up until it broke early in media.

Before that we had a silent Athletic Department. Since then we have had a constant rumor mill athletic department going off in all directions....and this is the otherthing I am sure on, we are in the middle of a full press dissinformation campaign, via info vommit....put out so much info no one knows what is real.

All the while, Gruden has not directly denied it, and the people who seemed to have BEST inside info esp around Gruden's side....have gone dead silent....not denying just silent.

I think we will not know WHO our coach is until the 23rd or later......just sayin.

I agree 100% but think the date may be a little different

I'm with you Liper but how do we obtain this information.

That's a good question. I'm hoping as we get a little distance from the situation some folks will open up. I know where to go to find out, but I'm not willing to impose that yet. Of course, the media types could've just followed up on the TFP article and asked what was going on and pressed some different sources that maybe didn't live in zip code 37919.

If Strong stays, it's because we never officially offered him. If we never officially offered him, then. . . . you fill in the blank. Hint: there are only two options--we have someone better on the hook, or we have absolutely no clue what we're doing.

Unfortunately I am beginning to think the latter.

Nobody willing to give an explanation other than strong is leaving why the players public appearance has been postponed for tomorrow??

This is an official postponement on thier website. I can't think of any other explanation that protecting their kids from being in public on a day their coach leaves.
