Could get VERY interesting
<br style="font-style: italic;"> Tennessee: <span style="font-style: italic;">We reported early this morning that Tennessee did indeed have great interest in Jon Gruden. The Sporting News is now reporting that Hamilton reached out to Gruden, but was turned down.</span>

Tennessee: Our sources tell us AD Mike Hamilton is researching Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen. We have also heard an unbelievable name for the Tennessee job (it would be a HUGE hire), would accept the Tennessee job if offered. Not sure how we can get this one confirmed, but a source close to this particular head coach tells us, "Trust me. If Tennessee offers, it will happen."

I do not think that Mullen will be offered but it was so much different not having to worry about your coach being offered another job. The only job Jackie would take would have been Bama but they did not really get along that well. Nobody was ever going to hire Croom. It seems like Mullen will be a hot name for every job out there.</p>

He'd better bet in gear and lock down a coach

That's unbelievable.

If you are UT, why do you hire Mullen?

The only twisted way I could think they would want him is if they think UF is going to go after him when Meyer finally quits and this is their way of giving them a big middle finger.

Other than that? Why? Not a shot at Dan, but there's just not any legit reason for a big time program other the UF to want him right now.

Bill Cowher. Doubtful, maybe its Jackie Wayne Sherrill...HA...

But really...wonder who it could be? I'm just gonna throw out some big names who are available...AGAIN, this is just me spitting out names.

Bobby Bowden, Lloyd Carr, Phill Fulmer? Cutcliffe?...Mike Leach, Dungy, Parcells, Mike Martz, Herm Edwards, Charlie Weis...hey these are all big names, that's all I'm saying...

ETA: Maybe Jeff Fisher? I heard on ESPN radio that there is small "schism" between him and Bud Adams.</p>
