So both LWS and Trey Wallace basically are setting us up to let us down easy when the news breaks. It’s either not happening and that’s what they are doing or they are saying this to dampen the Grumors because they can’t sit on the news without leaks breaking the dam.

Wallace has said even if we don't land Gruden there's other great coaches for the past couple days. Not a big deal, he said today he's still 60% Gruden

Better Job than everyone except Bama. Easy to win here with the right coaches in place. Recruiting, facilities, distance. Everything is far more superior than those other places. If it wasn't for the last 10 years, there wouldn't even be any question (even better than Bama).

It’s all perspective. I mean, when we were whipping Bama’s ass in the 90’s were they saying that Bama was a better job? It’s fluid. Hire the right guy, start winning, and that perspective changes.

The thing I keep thinking is that he mentioned Rocky top on the radio to sort of let us down easy. He really may love this place and considered the job as much as he could, but knows deep down he's not the right guy for it.

Don't think he's trolling either way.

You don't even mention it if you are Gruden.

He is coming IMO

Freak, I have a couple of meetings at work. If you could please arrange it so that I will get VN notifications on my phone when anything relevant re: Jon Gruden is posted in the forums, that would be great.

TIA.

A&M is not a better job than Tn. There is no argument you can make there. Auburn isn’t either for that matter

Better recruiting base for A&M, facilities are right on par with us or better, and they've enjoyed more success in a tougher division than we have over the last few years. I don't like Cowherd, but I think he's right.

Cowherd saying we’re the 5th or 6th best job in the SEC. I don’t buy it. The rising talent in TN makes that not true. More talent in Tn than I’m Bama and Louisiana

The whole pecking order thing is stupid. Any of the top 5 or 6 schools in the SEC are capable of putting a team together to win a national championship. It doesn't matter if they are located in a state with more talent either, it's just getting the right coach and players. Clemson won a championship from a state that doesn't necessarily produce a ton a players, but that were able to expand their reach into GA and NC and had 20 players from each state. That is something Tennessee used to be really good at and hopefully will be again.

Maybe. He even said still at 60% but why tweet that? Just odd to me. Especially right after LWS from a little bit ago. Just strange. Either way; I’m all Gruden until told otherwiseZ
