The poster on TOS that claimed he has a friend that's a D1 Coach that he says has been been contacted about going Gruden's staff. Many have guessed it was Jay Graham. Someone started a thread that basically wanted by moron that believed Gruden was coming to make a record of it. He said he did. A couple of posters really went after him as a troll. He told them that to PM him for a friendly wager. One guy said he didn't need a PM and he'd put $1000 that he wasn't coming. The guy took the bet. It's happening.

Keeping up with the RF Football Thread & FF Gruden Thread simultaneously is practically a full time job.

This is serious work.

I hear you. Some days I struggle just to keep up with this thread. I miss a lot of live football because I am reading this forum on mobile while I "watch."

I am not saying that I don't trust you, Matt, just saying that I agree that we should not trust anyone who says their source is inside the AD.

I'm just not as sold on Gruden as much as what appears to be 90% of the fanbase is. I mean I think he would be successful, but in no way do I think it's an automatic. When Meyer, Saban and Franklin went to their respective schools, you all but knew they were going to eat. I don't think the same would be said for Gruden.

I'm not sold either. I know I'm vastly outnumbered here, but I actually think hiring Gruden could backfire spectacularly. Gruden strikes me as a guy who is very full of himself with a huge ego and questionable interpersonal skills. Putting someone like that into the pressure cooker that is UT football seems to me like a recipe for disaster. I would be much much happier with Frost, Campbell, or Mullen.

Also, fwiw, I've never believed there was a realistic shot at landing Gruden, and I still don't believe it now.

“ a guy who is very full of himself with a huge ego and questionable interpersonal skills.”
That’s Saban right?

I know we could all see Butch fired with a loss but could anyone see him gone with a super close win. Maybe come from behind or overtime or something?

I think guys like that can own the pressure cooker. It's the insecure guys that melt.

Damn Ergen's dad was a nuclear phycisist who ended up at Oak Ridge. Charlie made his money and was even a pro poker and black jack player at one time. He's climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and Everest. Like this guy, hope he takes over.

It made sense the first time Gruden was in town with MNF in Nashville and planned for a while. One thing that was different was sitting in stands instead of sidelines... was interesting detail to me. He has been on sidelines plenty of time under Butch before.

This trip is intriguing because MNF is in GB. I guess you can say he is coming halfway From TB to here then on to GB but still odd
