Either Jon Gruden is the greatest troll walking the planet right now or he’s Tennessee’s next head football coach because bringing up Rocky Top unprompted while doing an interview on Seattle sports radio is not something you just do out of the blue.
So there are only two things that can be happening here. 1. Gruden knows about all those Grumors swirling around in Knoxville and is playing a cruel joke on all of the Tennessee fans who want him as their next coach. Or 2. He’s already agreed to be the next coach and is dropping a little hint for what will be announced at some point in the future.
You also have this story floating around out there.
Have worked w/ @GrantRamey & we have confirmed John Currie/#Vols powerbrokers have been in Tampa since last night following their circuitous flight route to make ‘The Pitch’ to Gruden. Ramey will have full story.

Man, I love Grumors.
College football coaching rumors are the best… we have people out here tracking flights
I can confirm that 3 planes with Tennessee boosters & Admin were in Tampa last night. One plane picked up an individual in Chicago & stopped in Nashville & Knoxville before Tampa.
