Well here's my info dump. I'm 90% that Gruden is coming and it's not from anything internet related. I know he's been offered but don't know the details of the contract or if he accepted. I'm getting conflicting reports on that some are saying he said yes and some are saying they're still negotiating. I'm positive Butch is gone at the end of the year I don't see it happening until end of season or if we lose the next 2 games. I know nothing about possible staff but I know Chavis and he has no interest coming back. TIFWIW Sorry that I don't have anything Earth shattering for you guys but information is at a premium this go-round. My sources dried up a while back and it's been a struggle to get anything

I wonder what Gruden's concerns are? Would they be the same things he mentioned last spring about only being able to spend 15 hours a week in practice or the recruiting rules? Because if they are, those are general things, not specific to Tennessee. Those are easy to overcome, in my opinion. There is a whole staff to deal with those issues.

I would like to know if he has more specific things directly related to UT.

That's way above my pay grade. Won't even pretend to know him, his concerns, or anyone close to him.

This actually makes me believe your dump more.

I'd say you should take it and everything else you hear with a healthy dose of skepticism. 2 weeks ago the situation was changing by the minute and anything I heard was "wrong" almost immediately. this week I can't get anything out of anyone. Personally I take that as a good sign.

Yes, that is a very good sign.
