Wife Talk

    Never posted on here, no real ties to UT, but my wife just got off the phone with Cindy (they were college cheer teammates at UT) and she said Jon is in serious discussions with UT about becoming their next coach. Evidently there are a couple of things holding up the deal. 1) Hart doesn't have the $ to meet Gruden where he "wants" to be but she doesn't think that is the biggest detractor 2) Complete autonomy on assistant decisions, Hart said he would have to keep Sal for at least the completion of this contract; Hart is a big Sal fan and thinks he needs more time to implement. Of course, Gruden despite working with QB's recently is a huge "D" guy so this isn't sitting well. All in all Cindy is hopefully she can replant her roots back in Knoxville and spend more time with her family...could be a good sign, what do you vol fans think?

    Entertaining nonetheless. +1

    Um... Gruden is an offensive guy, not "D".

  • You guys can laugh at his post, but I can see where Cindy would want to get back to this area. I went to Maury Middle School and Jefferson County High School with her. She is from Chestnut Hill, near the Bush's plant, in Jefferson County. She still has family and, friends in Jefferson County. Her brother lives in upper East Tennessee. My question is how much influence she would have in the decision process. If Jon is always gone from home, why wouldn't he want her happy and with her family?? I think most of the people on the boards are looking at the football aspect of the move only, and family may be a larger factor than most would think. Happy wife, Happy family!!! Congratulations to Jimmy Owens, the Newport Nightmare, on his second Lucas Oil Late Model National Championship, We do have National Champions living here in East Tennessee!!!!

  • Ok. This is easy to crack.

    Someone find out this guys wife's maiden name and cross-reference that a cheerleading roster from the 80s. THEN we'll know if he's credible.

    I was joking.

    Dooley's the coach and is until the foreseeable future. We'll get a new coach when Dooley is not the coach.

  • A few things that jump out..

    1. I hope this doesn't become a big rumor and get back to your wife or Chucky. I'd hate for you or Cindy to have to sleep on the couch.

    2. I don't think Hart is an idiot, but if he values Sunseri more than Gruden, that thought would be inaccurate.

    3. I don't believe any of this

    Guys, there is a difference in being nice and being tolerable of obvious trolls.

    I don't think he should be classified as a troll. Trolls generally show up to talk trash or rub it in that your team sucks. This guy was just being funny. I thought it was very clever.... And funny.

    I'm not so sure about this. I've talked to someone that knows her family well. The family is quite concerned that if Jon were offered the job, and he and his family ended up in Knoxville, that her family would be treated as some other coach's families have been treated by our fans in the past few years. He has not been offered a job and as of a few days ago hadn't been contacted at all.

  • Unfortunately this is probably true. Just look at how Fulmer was/is treated and he had one of the best tenures of all time here.

    Everyone in Jefferson Co is saying the same thing. My parents both new her in school too, we're Dandridge folks. Does it mean something in the big picture? Maybe, but maybe won't make me feel one bit better about Gruden rumors until I see him in front of the black Veriozon backdrop shaking hands with Hart. Many of us would agree East TN is an awesome place to live. Personally, I swear by Jefferson County. Would she love to come home? I bet. STOP THE PRESSES!!!

    Claiming to have direct heresay from Gruden's wife is a completely different animal. We can't be faulted for being uber skeptical.
