If that starts coming out from Hyams or more mouthpieces of the AD, expect him to get an extension.

Lol

Wish we could see this talent with some coaching. S&C included...

JG, QD, Kelly, Callaway, Wolf, Trey Smith, Jennings, Byrd, Johnson, JSmith, and some others with some player development on O.

DKjr, Bituli, Taylor, McKenzie, Tuttle, Phillips, Kongo, Sapp, McDowell, Bates, Warrios, Evan Berry, Abernathy, TK, (Honestly) Jumper....


Honestly we have a ton of talent. Wish we would develop them.

If the rumors are true about Rock not getting support from CBJ in holding players accountable, that alone is worth 3 wins. A conditioned team would have won the close ones, given that injuries wouldn’t have been as numerous.

UT fans ALWAYS show out man. Fan base deserves so much better.

Empty Neyland was dumb cause it would never work. Fanbase is too loyal. Love being part of that. If we ever get back it’s gonna feel so good. Knoxville will be euphoric.

We even checkerboard the stadium. The team/staff/AD hasn't come close to holding up their end of the deal.

Honestly, it felt good to root for a Tennessee team again (knowing Butch us gone). We may not win another one so let's soak this one in for what it's worth.

Does anyone think we will ever get back to where we hold teams on the goal line instead of them scoring at will inside the 2?

Yeah, when we get a new coach, and institute a S&C program that the players have to follow. We are too soft to bow our necks in those situations.

From what I've heard, Gruden was initially offered 7.5 which he eventually turned down.

Gruden has been in Knoxville a few times this week, but most notably yesterday, at which point those close to the situation believe he signed.

Has my guy seen the signature? No.
Do I have a timeline on the announcement? No.

I hadn't heard much this week, which is why I've been quiet. But this is what I was told tonight.

I think they're throwing the kitchen sink at him. I think the chances are better than 5% that Larry has. I'm at 50/50.

Larry’s 5% is everyone’s 55%. Just sayin’.

Don’t do this to me Ron.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

And it's not even close. USM is, however, playing their worst game of the season.

That I would agree with.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Butch just needs more time guys

His others:

Seems like a Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU. But again, I have not seen it with my own eyes. Just passing on the word.

Back to Gruden. We get it. We're all over Butch.

Regarding Butch firing Gruden hiring

These 2 things will happen very closely together.

 

[DD4ME]

So who is vfl92?

 

[SergeantVol]

Don’t do this to me Ron.

Just give in. The water is nice Ziti. Believe like you used to in Santa when you were little. Let the magic wash over you. It’s happening. Peepaw is delivering.

 

[DD4ME]

Hope this isn't a jinx

I don’t see a scenario that this doesn’t get done.

 

[BigZiti09]

So who is vfl92?

Idk but I hope 92 was the year he graduated from UT and not the year he was born.

 

[buffaloblue]

I think Gruden is either done or was never a thing and he turned us down at start. It’s one of those polar opposites imo and I lean towards done.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Per Basilio. The Ergen stuff and Gruden is fantasy land. Says He feels sorry for all Vol fans because we are so desperate we believe anything.

He says none of that is one bit of truth about Ergen and the plan with Gruden.

Sometimes I let myself believe but it doesn’t last long. I snap out of it. BVS

Don’t do this to me Ron.

Too much smoke man. Just believe and enjoy the ride. It's way more fun than discussing who would be better between Mullen, Norvell, Bobo or a tall glass of bleach.

I've got a full Gruden. He's coming and it's going to be payback for the hell we've been put through the last 10 years.

I'll make room on the Gruden express, have a seat...

Hedging bets.

It's a smart play. If Gruden comes everyone is happy so it doesn't matter if you're wrong.

If he doesn't come you get cred.

 

[DD4ME]

It's done. Exactly what it s sounds like.

Hopefully not prematureegrudenation

The real MVP.

Non-bandwagon VOLS fans are everywhere. We deserve better.
