I hear Tennessee...UNC just another stepping stone

[Toolbox]

lol no

[SZ James]

not surprising

we knew this was the case it's just a matter of when

[TbTeRRoR]

Googled this and found 2 sources Tennessee fans and NC state fans lol

His name is on the list being floated by AD, but that has proven to ALL be a smokescreen thus far. I wouldn't worry, UNC fans. Frankly, this fan base is so unanimously wanting Gruden, whoever does get the job will be considered a let down. Just please don't let it be Al Golden!

We can't all be coaching magnets like State.

You guys are going to have a hard time beating out State for Gruden. Better hope Nick Saban takes his dream job at State instead.

My mistake the only coach that used UNC as a stepping stone was Mack Brown. The rest were fired....

Butch Davis wouldve but lolz

Fedora turned down a request from Tennessee to interview according to plugged-in sources.

Gruden rumors are pretty funny.

[RockyTopVol]

Gruden rumors to Tennessee weren't as crazy as his agent makes them sound. CJG has been flirting with UT's big $$ people for a few weeks now. His wife was a cheerleader here and he got his coaching start in Knoxville. I believe him to be a twisted individual, if he really thought UT was living in a "fantasy world" when they thought they could get him. Why did he lead them on for so long, then? Dude's need for an ego-stroke is out of control.

Why did he lead them on? Simple. So it seems like there's a ton of demand for his services and he can extract the best, sweetheart type deal from an NFL team (control over roster, etc.). Gruden is and always will be an NFL coach, and he just uses these college teams (and frankly, other NFL openings) as a way to keep his name at the forefront of desirable NFL front office-types' minds.

Why would Fedora leave UNC right now to go to a place with expectations like Tennessee? He is getting paid gobs of money at a program that is weakened by sanctions and basically has them at his mercy b/c they know if he leaves then they are screwed.

Fedora just better hope that his offense works next year with no offensive line and no all-acc running back...

[C47]

I'm hearing it might be Gundy to UT tifwiw....

[RockyTopVol]

C47,I can't see him leaving his alma mater. Our boosters have made it known that we are prepared to pay Saban-money to someone. There just isn't anyone close to worth that that would come. We'll end up hiring someone like Butch Jones, and I'm going to puke.
