lol just read that Mark Richt is supposed to have interest in it because he hates living in Miami. That's loving hilarious.



Although him coming to Tennessee and immediately winning a title would be the best thing ever just because of UGA teeth gnashing.

I don't know how to break it down by specific comments but that's where it starts with the Grizzlymint guy. He doubles down a couple times when people call BS.

I was just informed that Mark Richts agent has been asking around about the UT job.....

quote:

[–]Grizzlymint
I have multiple sources. One lives in my home town in west TN, one lives in Nashville and has been in the know with UTAD for 20+ years and the other lives in Knoxville and is friends with Gruden jr.

quote:

[–]Grizzlymint
Not from what I heard. A very reliable source said he would like to talk after the season, but I doubt Tennessee would want to wait that long. Vol fans might murder Currie if he waits till after the early signing period after he told one of our commits that he will know before the 20th of december.

I can’t believe you guys are falling for it. The same thing happen in 2012. There were even rumors of coaches being contacted by Gurden for staff positions at that time. I’ve checked the Vol Nation thread, and it is mostly the same ones that were spreading Gruden rumors back in 2012.

I do agree it seems some of the press are getting into the act this time. I think it is to get ratings. That said it does give me some pause. Instead of 100% it will not be Gruden, and I am at 90% now.

Eh. But there's not a ton of expectations for the mens bball team either. Granted they're higher than that especially with noted successful coach Rick Barnes coming in, but nobody really cares.

Given the fuckin' mess he came into, uh? No. Barnes has done a really solid job so far of rebuilding the program and they should compete for an NCAA bid this year with a bunch of talent back.

We joke about Barnes being kind of a lovely coach, but dude has a bunch of wins and is prolly a better coach than Tennessee deserved after running Martin off, and then hiring the walking NCAA violation as his replacement.

All I said what "eh" and that there aren't a ton of expectations for the basketball team. Meaning from a fan standpoint. Nobody (that I know anyway) really gives a poo poo about UT baskeball that isn't the women's team and even that's pretty passive these days. I don't have a problem with Barnes.

Omaha radio personality no one listens to says that an Adam Rittenberg says that Nebraska wants Scott Frost. Not much, but it's something.

After Saturday, I'm ready to get on the Scott Frost bandwagon. I just hope we give him ~5 years assuming we land him.
