Jon Gruden brought up Tennessee during a Wednesday interview with an ESPN affiliate radio station in Seattle Thursday morning.
The legendary “Monday Night Football” commentator brought up the song “Rocky Top” and Knoxville without being asked at all. One of the hosts looked completely shocked.

The “Grumors” are starting to get out of control, and I’m totally here for every second of it. He’s either playing us for fiddles, or the Super Bowl winning coach is seriously thinking about being the next top boss for the Tennessee Volunteers.

This Gruden stuff is going to continue until somebody finally gets hired, and I’m so happy. This is what football fandom is all about. The highest of high expectations and the lowest of low disappointments. I guarantee you Tennessee fans will be feeling one or the other when this thing is over.
