Most of the major national radio networks are saying that U.T. and Gruden's camp did not even discuss money..

My belief is that: Hart did not want Gruden because Gruden would be a rock star and Hart would not any meaningful control over the football program. The football program would be Gruden's, 100%..

Power struggle!! SO my guess is that Hart didn't want Gruden but spoke to him just to please the fans.....

All of this just makes me glad that we did not get Gruden. Gruden has been fired twice......will he get fired by a third NFL team if he decides to go back to coaching? I am looking forward to welcoming a new coach who has the VOLS best interest at heart!

Fired twice? Hope you're not implying he was fired by Oakland, since he left on his own.

He actually got traded....for a lot! It was like for two first round and two second round picks.

Doesn't happen often, but occassionally a coach / manager gets traded.

"I haven't said anything (about the ongoing rumors) because there's been nothing to say," said Bob LaMonte, the Reno, Nev.-based representative for Gruden. "This, to me, is just a fantasy world."

LaMonte said he spoke to Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart for the first time Friday morning.

"He just said there had been a lot of rumors and he just wanted to clear the air," LaMonte said. "I said, 'Thank you for the call. I appreciate it.' He said thank you and that was it."

According to LaMonte, Gruden has no plans to leave ESPN, where he is in his fourth season as a commentator for Monday Night Football.

"Jon has made it clear he's committed to ESPN," LaMonte said.

OK football genius, Saban lied but he was also coaching another team at the time. Slightly different circumstances.

Maybe you should coordinate with the guy wanting to put together a 100,000 fan march to Hart's door. You could lead an additional 100,000 fan march to Lamonte's door. Together you could form some kind of idiot Wonder Twins duo. We could start a thread for the duo's name. Wait, I forgot about the petition guy from the other day...now you could have a trifecta. A few more and you could have your own UT Superfan League to fight the Legion of Doom.

You guys defending Gruden and Lamonte make me sick. I don't care what the circumstances are - wanting a good coach for Vols is not an fantasy. It may be to jackass sports agents but it isn't to me and my family. He's pissing in my backyard and I don't think it's funny. Screw them both.

You should be pissed at Hart. He's the one that is screwing up.

Beef, all he needed to say was "not interested"


When he added on the "fantasy world" quote is where he messed up.


The price is wrong bob

Serious question here for anyone who wants to field it: Why are you so upset about his comments?

He just implied that all the hype over Gruden coming to UT is not reality. I didn't see it as a slight to UT.

We've been the whipping boy of the East for a few years now. I would have thought most would have developed tougher skin by now.

Here's my problem with this...

Why even mention the phone call from Hart? It could have easily been settled with a press announcement saying "Gruden is committed to ESPN and is not interested in coaching at this time." So why even mention UT at all? Everyone with a football program from Division 1 schools to Kansas City Community College and Hair Care parlor starts their list off with Jon Gruden when looking for a head coach. So the question is...

Why was Tennessee singled out and why was the phone call specifically mentioned? There was interest from probably a dozen schools in "fantasy land" looking for a coach.

To me, this gives a bit more creedence to the smoke and mirrors play. If you want some room to maneuver and negotiate, thrown off the scent someplace else. This weekend it was all about the championship games and a story like this would have over shadowed all of them. Does make one wonder?

So...Lamonte acted like an agent...if anything we should all be MAD at Hart for letting an agent b*tch slap him and him keeping his mouth shut!

It would be my guess that UT was singled out because he was specifically asked about Tennessee. He was probably specifically asked about Tennessee because of all the rumors being floated around.

I will admit it is odd to mention the phone call with Hart.

But still don't understand why people are upset with Gruden's agent for doing his job.

I'm not as concerned with him doing his job as much as the verbiage used. You don't start negotiations with potential suitors by kicking them in the nuts and saying they live in fantasy land. You start nice and get mean when you have to. Frankly, he set the tone (hostile in my opinion) for future negotiations. And that won't bode so well for his client.

Also, just an interesting tidbit. Lamonte also represents Andy Reid. Would this be a conflict of interests reference the Philly rumors?

Have you ever thought Hart may have kicked Gruden in the nuts first?
