Take it for what it's worth, but normally Bruce doesn't go online with something until he's sure.

Tennessee has offered the Vols head coaching job to Mike Gundy, a source told CBS this morning.

I know Bruce. If he said it, it happened.

It would be great to get Gundy out of the conference heading into next year... OSU looks to be our toughest competition for the Big 12 championship.

He's one of my favorite sports writers, and a guy that still likes to do his due diligence before running with something (and he somehow still scoops people all the time).

I bet OSU has Sonny Dykes on speed dial, just in case Gundy jumps. He seems like the right fit.

Its going to be a tough year to be replacing a coach.

I'm still surprised not one opening has mentioned Smart.

Supposedly Auburn interviewed Kirby Smart.

Wonder if Fedora could be lured back to OSU with big $$$? I really don't want to see that guy back in the Big12.

Plus Feldman co-authored Mike Leach's book, which gives him huge bonus points in my world!

OSU short list has to read: Dykes, Dykes, Dykes.

But Strong and Smart are out there. If they go the coordinator route, Harsin or Applewhite would be interesting candidates---I'm surprised they haven't looked to get off the titanic yet.

Only reason why Mack is still HC.

It makes sense. Minimal wardrobe change required.

 

[oldscribe]

You mean Gundy would leave Arkansas for Tennessee? (yesterday we read he was Arky-bound).....Dang, if you can't trust the net, who can you trust?

 

[JogginFrog]

I've been surprised that Dykes hasn't already been picked up yet by a name program in the coaching carousel.

Given some of the things that have been posted about coach-admin conflict at OSU, I'm wondering if Gundy might have encouraged Dykes to hold off on accepting other offers because OSU's would be likely to open up.

 

[Zubaz]

Gundy staying at OSU.

 

[cdsfrog]

link?

 

[illini_frog]

Twitter is saying that Gundy did not accept the offer.

At this rate, Tennessee will be coached by an actual volunteer.
