The CheckerBoard

Yeah it is pretty interesting over there right now seems like Hubbs and Hyams both in the Gruden deal is over. With UT luck that is probablly the case. on to the next guys.

Hubbs is sticking to Golden being near the top of Harts list. If that's true, f' Tennessee football, I'm an nfl fan. Don't try to sell me on a guy who went 6-6 last year, then just had a 52-45 thriller against Duke to go 7-5 this year. He went 9-4 and 8-4 the two years before that at temple.

If tenn hires al golden I swear to god I will not watch a single game. If that's all tenn can do, shame on me for cheering for such a program.

Kind Of unfair to Hubbs. He is a real professional and doesn't post stuff just to be posting stuff. His info is usually pretty good. While he has talked about Gruden talking to assistants about a staff in college, he has always maintained this was a long shot. Hubbs is the reason I've thought from day 1 that Gruden is a pipe dream. In my opinion, Hubbs has the most sources connected with the university and has been there a while. People being idiots over there is why I am here now. I appreciate the way you all interact with each other and the writers of the staff interact with all of us. As for how credible 247 is with their sources, I will know more after this search. So far I've enjoyed reading their stuff.

The difference between Golden and Dooley which a lot of people like to draw comparisons to is Miami Fans LOVE Al Golden. They think he is getting them back on track and so does people in the media...

There is a reason Golden is sought after.

The information that Hubbs is putting out there is that some 3rd parties reached out to Gruden possibly as far back as October but Hart isn't inclined to go that direction any longer and isn't really talking with him. If this is true, then Hart isnt spinning his wheels. He is on it.

I was one of the ones voicing frustrations but it was totally with the way Hubbs refuses to answer questions or give his opinion on anything.

I understand not wanting to spread rumor but if you are saying there is basically zero chance that Gruden comes to Tennessee then at least share why you feel that way. It is pretty ridiculous that it is a PAID site but he refuses to do that and his war rooms are pretty pointless. they need to take the sentence off about what is said in the war room stays in the war room because nothing is ever said in there worthwhile anyway.

Roman is quickly becoming one of my favorite candidates.

Yes, Hubbs said he originally thought tenn would make gruden say no. Now he is saying tenn never even got that far. Apparently due to hart not wantin to pursue.

I find that hard to believe, but we'll all find out soon enough.

I agree. I just don't think much can be gathered from Hart. Ryan, Hart isn't talking, correct??

That's a good point. Do you think he'd pick Cal over us, or do you think since he's probably first on Cal's list, it won't get to that point where he has to pick between the two?
