Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIX

[BigOrangeVol29]

Good luck selling another pitiful, cheap hire to this fanbase. We wanted Haslam out because this was his m.o. and we get the same unfortunately it seems. I get it if indeed JG turned us down, but if not I’m gonna be madder than heck.

 

[DownTheField]

Fulmer will never be again be regarded as a "closer".

Gruden at the ut banquet? -rf

 

[lifeVol]

That or they know we’ll eat it up and sponsors pay them per click lol.

Sorry I posted that without checking the linked to article ... I'm a little jumpy at things that SEEM to matter right now ... my bad, but I don't think I've done anything worse than the Knoxville sports journalists so I'll just bask in that comfort

Yes it is...it's looking a bunch of DC's and a roll of the dice. What happened to stability! Les was willing to walk on hot coals to Knoxville for the job...this morning he's not on the list.

Which means he got tired of being pulled along or we hired our guy. Last night he was asking for the job. Now-nothing. Today just doesn’t make sense. My BS meter has been chiming all day with his crap. Felt the exact same way when they announced Schiano. It just didn’t make sense.

 

[Volsorta]

If he's not coming why wouldn't Grudes agent release a statement? I don't get it.

 

[XVol64]

Think about butts

dang it.....all I can see is Daniela turning and shaking it...

Gruden needs a DC!?!?!

 

[GhostVol]

Does anyone believe we would have heard for sure that the deal fell through if it indeed fell through? My guess is that insider news would travel fairly quickly if the case...

That's the thing that gives us hope..... When this happened 5 years ago it went along much like this..... Then it was shut down. Hard.

We're not seeing that now and that gives us hope.

 

[lifeVol]

Q) Why has everyone assumed we have hired someone else ? Did I miss a presser ?

 

[TNVolSoldier]

I do not disagree with your premise, but we have to define the term "legit".

Being given legitimate information to bring to a public forum. To create and environment conducive to the overthrow, ouster, or marginalization of the current power structure. If you would like to know what happened, in a, crude, goofy, rudimentary way. Research unconventional warfare. I don't doubt anything he brought here was not true at the time. But he was specifically sent to prepare an environment to affect a change. Not really rocket science.

My thoughts, feel free to spread around.

Sources have told me Jon Gruden was at the Tennessee banquet in NYC this evening

-Simonton


Phil and UT are about to announce during this tonight and send this college ceremony in to panic mode.

 

[Orange Maniac]

That’s what I thought, still can’t find it listed anywhere, even on WatchESPN

It's on Watch ESPN. I have it running now.

Wasn’t blaming you. Was saying the twitter account is likely fishing for clicks.

 

[KSPVol36]

I don’t post often, but I have a question for the Leach fans... With zero intent to advocate for anyone (other than maybe JG), what is the fascination with Leach? He only has one double-digit win season in his entire career as a head coach. I’m not saying he wouldn’t be exciting to watch, but is he really championship caliber? Again, it’s an independent question without any effort to discredit him. I’m just seriously curious.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Gruden isnt coming... I wish he was honestly, but this has to end. Its freaking torture. Just want this nightmare to end. Its what the administration has let us become. A ****ing laughing stock no one will touch and the few decent coaches who will come like Les, we pass over. Gruden is a pipe dream.

 

[SobeVol]

It doesn’t make sense! That’s why it’s Gruden!


Or at least I’m hoping

Are you guys not seeing this? Hello? Did everybody leave? Lol

 

[onevol74]

If any of those three are trotted out, I'll be madder than the Keebler elf being demoted to fudge packer.....

I have a great response to this but can not use it because I would probably be banned.

its been said fulmer and miles are friends. would it be a stretch to think that fulmer hasn't pulled a play from jimmy sextons playbook? helping a friend get a job by generating buzz for him?


anyone know who Miles agent is?

The end is near and the uncertainty mixed with an absence of "regular" supporters has led most past the point of insanity

 

[NAILS]

Fulmer will never be again be regarded as a "closer".

I disagree.
Hard to get the win when you enter the game down 0-12 in the bottom of the 8th.

Coach will do what's right and make the best hire for our University.

If he seriously hires Steele he's too stupid for the job.
