Yeah, and he's wearing out the phone trying to confirm something, anything -- if there's anything there.

Let's go ahead and get this out of the way...when will UT fire Dooley and hire Gruden?
My real question is, how many players on the current roster do you see being drafted in the first 3 rounds?

Would you rather:
Watch the Cards win the World Series
Or
Talk about John Gruden on Twitter?

I would almost rather watch the Cardinals win the World Series than ever say or head the word "Gruden" again unless he is actually a coach at Tennessee.

With Coach Dooley's unique sense of humor, would he be a good fit for Monday Night Football?
"Old School"! A strong defense wins championships!

What is the vibe of the team toward Dooley? Do they support him like Fulmer's players did him or are they numb to all the talk around the state? Not saying he is a lame duck coach but if push comes to shove will they have his back or sit back and see what happens?

I know you have mentioned this before and I slightly remember your articles in the times free press but what years did you work in the nooga, I was stationed in London so I didn't get home that often to check on the local sports scene there so its kinda blurry.

He'd be fantastic on TV.
