I know a lot of people bash Hyams, and I probably don't know as much about the Knoxville media as some on here, but am I missing something? I've listened to his weekly segments on 104.5 the zone for 2 years now and I can't remember him saying anything that was really off base. And, hasn't he been covering the Vols for a really long time? I dunno, it just seems like he would have pretty good sources by this point.

Hyams swore Cut was our next coach when Kif left.

I just think one of the overwhelming themes I've seen since jumping on govols247, is people almost always bash/question the credibility of a media member who leans a little more negative in their reporting of UT. IMO, we don't like to think UT athletics' poop stinks, and anyone who says it does gets crushed. JMO.

EGGzakly. Every fan base is like that. For instance…
From the Auburn 247 board last night:
*********** posts
I think it goes without saying that at this point AU is the most attractive job over the Arky, Ky, Ut jobs. Ron would you say that?
The thought is that while Franklin is a very good coach...If Gary Patterson, Gundy and Gruden (is he even a real option for any team? Or is he just playin games) said thanks but no thanks. So you think they would say the same if AU came calling?

My experience from the last two searches tell me this means Gruden is even closer to being at UT. Jimmy's sources have seemed pretty dried up for a good while.
Also, it should be noted that while it does sound like everyone else has been hearing that there's been action with Gruden the last few days, Jimmy said days ago that it was already over for the same reasons he used today...BUT it wasn't. It wasn't at all according the multiple sources both local and national.
"Count it down with me. Five, four, three, two, one. The national champion is clad in Big Orange!"

Hyams and Fulmer are buddies, I don't think he would even dispute that.

At one point that Thursday there were a lot of people who thought Cut was going to be the coach. Bottom line he knows more than any of us do.

True. If I knew, I wouldn't be here.
