Right. That weasel's head would explode if he was in the locker room for something like this.

So reports are having him gauging Peterson, Leach, and Mullen's interest for the job.

I don't know what you think, but that's a solid list to start off.

Rumors of an announcement tomorrow. We'll see how JC did. After this season, it better be a great hire.

The inevitable sideshow of a Leach/Currie duo is mos def worth the price of admission.

The top is about to blow off of this place. I've never seen people this angry. Maybe the end of the Battle era in the mid 70s.

JC has let the Gruden rumors hang out there for a month now, and nobody will refute them. If a second tier coach walks to that podium, we may lose a significant part of our fanbase. People are just going to stop caring or following the program.

You and Nebraska can commiserate over being being irrelevant for essentially twenty years.

Our slide starting in 2001 in the SEC Championship game losing to a backup LSU QB. By 2005, we were not a national contender, and haven't been since.

It's starting to sound like he made a very bad miscalculation by leaving the Gruden rumors out there. When he did make a public statement, it was about pushing for an upcoming stadium renovation. People are expecting a huge hire. If he doesn't come through, it's going to be ugly.

Look for Currie to check himself into a non-descript Dallas hotel. When this happens it's game on!

No sane person would hold that against Currie. Gruden has turned down NFL jobs to stay at MNF but Genesee Tennessee fans are so stupid and myopic that they thought he'd leave to go there. I would be like us pitching a fit that we don't get get Dabo to replace Snyder.

Gruden has a pretty long history with Tennessee, and he likes the Vols (says he does at least). He has played this game before (2012), so it won't surprise me at all if this is a big tease. I say tease b/c neither JC nor Gruden has shot down the rumors for almost a month now. There really haven't been any credible reports as to whom JC has talked. I wish we just had a normal coaching search where we talked to one coach, he said no, we talked to next coach, etc. Instead, the fans are worked up to a fever pitch. The press conference should be something to behold.

On top of that, I don't know why Tennessee fans assume Gruden would do a good job. Even with Tennessee being a second tier sec program they could get pretty good college candidates.

...the deal, if reached, would be worth upwards of $10M per season for Gruden, with another $8M per season reserved for the salaries of his staff.

Gruden hasn’t proved himself to be a $5m per year coach.  I get the upside,  but a lot of unknown.  He could be a huge flop.

No doubt.

It would make him the 2nd highest paid coach in CFB behind Saban and he hasn't coached a game in 10 years.

stupid why?
it’s not currie’s money, it costs him nothing.  he’s giving his fans what they want and putting money in his own pocket via 5 years+ of job security.  if it doesn’t work, its’s gruden’s fault, not currie’s and no one would think otherwise


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.
