KNOXVILLE – Speculation over Jon Gruden’s interest in Tennessee’s head football coaching position went so rampant in November that even Joshua Dobbs started probing then-athletic director John Currie for information.
“Good evening Mr. Currie, Sooo are the rumors true?” Dobbs texted Currie on Nov. 16.
“Which rumors?” Currie texted back.
Dobbs responded by saying, “A lot of buzz around Coach Gruden. Wasn’t sure if it is legit or heresay.”
“Geez even you?” Currie responded back.
