FOX Sports Knoxville‘s Jon Reed joined The Drive on Wednesday afternoon to discuss a rumor involving Jon Gruden’s son Michael, a UT student, coming home to Tampa for a “family meeting,” this upcoming weekend.

The rumor suggests that Gruden wants to discuss what taking the head coaching position at Tennessee would mean for his family, especially his son and his wife, Cindy, who is a Tennessee alum.

Obviously, the family’s strong ties to UT have linked the former Super Bowl winning coach to the expected upcoming vacancy, but his performance on the job would likely have an impact on that relationship.

As we’ve seen with Butch Jones this season, bad coaching can create hostility with the passionate SEC fan base. That’s why Gruden would likely want to see how his son feels about having his father face potential scrutiny while he attends the university.

At least LSU doesn't have to play Tennessee again until like 2024.

Not happening, I wish it would he would have a top notch staff and recruiting would be easy, but it's not happening.

If true this is a pretty big deal. He doesnt have to, and will be leaving a cush gig. People get bored though. Means UT boosters/administration are getting serious. Just sux not man "sure thing" coaches to go after if he decides not to.

I'm not sure how well he'll do, so i'll wait to see the staff to determine how confident i'll feel about him being the answer long term.

It feels wrong and right all at the same time. If he fails it will be Tennessee's fault a coaches legacy was tainted NOT his!
