Official Jon Gruden Thread III

[volinbham]

If CDD isn't fired by Monday night..........what the crap are we gonna do after that...I can't keep coming to this thread for 2 more months!!!

I will remove e-cred from certain posters in the most painful way imaginable.

This thread is so awesome, I think I am going to start deducting my Internet as an entertainment expense instead of a general business expense.

 

[dont114]

AD meaning athletic department.

yes

 

[volatil]

If Dooley isn't fired until the end of the season, or Gruden isn't hired until the end if the season, then these Gruden threads have the potential to shatter all land speed and distance records.

Official Jon Gruden Thread XIV

It will be rivaled by the FIRE DAVE HART thread

 

[Orangeslice13]

Thanks Slice. Is it safe to assume the 8 win contingency is the root cause of any dissension?

I think the problem (my opinion with no facts to back it up) is Hart has not been clear with the boosters what the plan is. He keeps hinting the 8 win thing while allowing the boosters to talk to Gru's people in hypothetical terms. It's uncomfortable for everyone involved.

So, what happened? I see a lot of OCI bashing. What gives? I thought he was pretty level.

I hate the word uncomfortable ...it makes me uncomfortable. :hmm:

But I'm the lier troll.
Anyone seen my buddy Todd?

It's actually quite normal

Thought you were Buzz Killington

 

[rjd970]

OCI in recruiting forum FWIW

Everything I have said in the Gruden thread is true (except for the rumor of Dooley having to run design ideas by Gruden for the new football complex, but any dumbass that believed that needs some help).

 

[grace2u]

Something about this thread makes my palms sweaty and gives me flashbacks of high school.

 

[ryvol]

Though I read tons, I don't post often. Huge fan, but no inside sources.

However, a friend texted me the following a bit ago.

An old high school friend of his has contacts at UTK and posted on his facebook page that "Dooley is going to be done as head coach as of the 29th."

He forgot to mention what month or even which year, but I imagine he meant in a few days.

My question is do contacts of a friend of a friend count as an "inside source"? Or can you only be one friend removed from the source? Or does it matter if the source is from the AD's office versus a concession stand at the stadium? I'm a little confused about the definition of an 'inside source'.:loco:

I can't even remember which bs drama you are referring to. Just saying thanks for the info, sorry. Didn't know anything about a call. I do not ever recall calling you or anyone a "liar troll" even though I admit I have at times gotten too emotionally involved. Boy people hold grudges on here lol.

Is Hart willing to buck the boosters and face the consequenses of doing so for a promise he gave to 2 coaches, IYO?

Thanks again for sharing. So a loss tomorrow would theoretically sync everything up.

For the record, I think we all want a win and everyone in power on the same page.
