Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIV

[VOL_Lyfe]

I was just curious how "Currahee" was started as a rallying cry. It's a mountain in NE Georgia.

That's where the 101st AB trained.

Watch Band of Brothers. You'll be better for it, I promise.



/signed, a 101st veteran

Knuck I'm still waiting. Or are you going to run away like you did last night? With how you said you were throwing up at the "disgusting" news you "heard" last night in the AD I would have expected the news to be leaked to the media sometime today.

Dude....

LET IT GO!

I got ya. the 506 PIR of the 101st airborne used it as their rallying cry during WW2. I don't know if they started it, but they ran up it at least once everyday before heading to england for the D-Day invasion.

 

[CoachClick]

I agree with you but see what he's saying... it bought them time. Now i'm nervous - Currie needs to be canned by lunchtime tomorrow

Yea well. I said that 2 days ago and after countless calls and emails and tweeters...the RAT is still here.

I want to get some guidance from AV. Anything I can do to help I will.

 

[Grand Vol]

I'm going to put it at the top of my list. I saw where the series started in 2001. The high school was climbing Currahee and using it as a rallying cry prior to that.

These are the badazz grandfathers doing it way, way, way before the high schools kids were even thought of.

 

[tvolsfan]

I felt bad, but I was hoping Gundy would say no, because that meant Gruden was still possible!

That's what I thought when Strong turned us down in 2012. Then we hired Botch.

 

[normalfootballfan]

Peyton and Fulmer supported the Schiano deal to set Currie up to fail. They knew VN wouldn’t support it and it would start a fire. Currie fell right into the trap and now we will get the AD and coach we all deserve.

 

[rhinoblake]

I hope he doesn't shoot us down publicly. :no:

I wish someone would shoot us down publicly, citing Currie and Haslam as the reason. Would help things move quicker in the right direction

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Maybe I'm shooting for the stars here and I'm just needing to hold on to something, but can anyone LEGITIMATELY confirm that Gruden was never offered? I ask this because, if he wasn't, just go do it now. But if he was and turned us down, can anyone LEGITIMATELY confirm that as well? That way I can sleep semi peacefully tonight, otherwise I'm just tired of all the bad mojo.

 

[Squints]

I find it hysterical that after Sunday, UT believes Currie can close a deal with a guy who has repeatedly given interested parties a resounding no.

They're higher than the International Space Station!

 

[MDVols]

I mean he went to the Bahamas for free with no coach and this is the result he's put in zero work is a "yes man" and should be fired

He had a coach already. Rumors were it was done 2 weeks ago.

 

[Garren04]

We need to get signs outside the training center that say bring us tee !!

 

[midtnvol2]

Yeah. Honestly i believe Currie and haslam did this, knowing he wouldnt leave. To make it look like they were going for a home run and throwing out big money. And now its back to the bargin bin

Get ready for Chad Morris

 

[VolDorado]

Buddy just texted me that UT officials are scheduling discussions with Chad Morris tomorrow....trying to find out where he got this. Wouldn’t surprise me....

 

[EZE]

When you've got money out the wazoo, you don't let money stop you from getting what you want. A couple of million per yer doesn't mean squat in this deal.

True, but Mike Gundy is not who you get into a bidding war over. If you are going to do that, set the sights higher to Petersen or Patterson.

Very interesting take on this hopefully you're right

 

[LawVol30]

^yes^

 

[weirdfishes]

People with hope better hope we don’t offer Chad Morris (not debating his qualifications at this time). I have a feeling he would jump at the opportunity.

Just saw a report he's the next one up.

 

[rkvdg]

Peyton and Fulmer supported the Schiano deal to set Currie up to fail. They knew VN wouldn’t support it and it would start a fire. Currie fell right into the trap and now we will get the AD and coach we all deserve.

There's to much common sense in this statement for me.

 

[rhinoblake]

Whoever is getting out ahead of Currie/Haslam with these coaches and pointing out the shît show they are is my current hero!

Should we be assisting with this as well?

 

[volinjackson]

I don't think it's about the money with Gruden it's that he will want Saban type control over the football team and all of football operations. Currie and Haslam do not want that.

 

[EZE]

I find it hysterical that after Sunday, UT believes Currie can close a deal with a guy who has repeatedly given interested parties a resounding no.

They're higher than the International Space Station!

No kidding. The incompetence truly is astounding.

Hmmm...nice! I like that!

And who is that?

 

[UTSuave’]
