Urban legend?
Or legend of the fall?
When it comes to University of Tennessee football, is Monday Night Football analyst and former UT graduate assistant Jon Gruden the former or the latter?
The idea of Gruden returning to Rocky Top in a coaching capacity for the first time in more than 30 years seems to be the dream conclusion of almost every Volniac to the search to replace just-fired Butch Jones. Actually, it was probably the dream when Lane Kiffin was hired, as well as the dream before Derek Dooley and Jones were hired.
