in response to CCLC:

When a program badly needing stability–and willing to match anyone’s financial offer–is already on its fifth choice for HC, it is indeed time to panic, because it appears none of the “stabilizing” coaches will come until there’s stability. A real trap, eh? No wonder Fulmer was actually the front-runner in the latest reader poll at RockyTopTalk (Butch Jones, reportedly the latest target, came in at a booming 4%, which means he’d probably begin with about the same fan-base confidence level as SOD).
Vols football never recovers from this..... end of an era.

To all TROLLS. You are so fake, and not at all UT fans or football fans.

You are trolls looking to spread ignorance.

UT offered 2 people the job, this is confirmed. Charlie Strong and Gundy. That's it, no one else was offered. Gruden took a phone call that lasted 5 minutes and that was a total long shot anyway and probably would have been a terrible hire. The guy has no experience recruiting and no experience coaching in college.

So you come to a Vol fan site and run your mouth about garbage you know nothing about. Trying to say UT was desperate in hiring a guy that was offered up to 5 different jobs this year alone, and as others have stated was offered jobs last year and the year before, but some how he is bad or a desperate choice?

Taking Gruden would have been desperate, hiring a guy on rep alone and no resume at the college level. But they chose a guy with 6 yrs experience (Strong only has 3), great recruiter with experience (recruiting the south and Midwest), and bowl game experience and you call it desperate? that's ignorance.
