Adam Shefter of NFL.com does not believe Chucky will bolt for the University of Tennessee vacancy.

Adam Schefter of NFL.com has been doing some digging and it’s his opinion that not only is Chucky not going to the University of Tennessee, that he’s staying in Tampa until the Glazer Boys throw him out.

In fact, one of my bosses at NFL Network emailed Monday with the news that Fulmer had agreed to step down, saying, “This is Gruden’s job.”

But in talking to those that know Gruden well, I’m not buying. Not one bit. When one person in regular contact with Gruden was asked about the possibility of the Buccaneers coach taking the Tennessee job, he responded, “Zero percent chance!”

Shefter is not the only one who has come to such a conclusion. WDAE-AM 620 drive time personality Steve Duemig is so convinced, he issued an edict Tuesday afternoon banning any such talk of Chucky to Tennessee “unless or until he actually signs a contract.”

On NFL Network’s “Total Access” nightly newscast late Tuesday night, Shefter was even more adamant that Chucky is staying put.
