Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVI

[99bubble]

A little off topic but I wanted to share. My son has been struggling with depression for a while. A few weeks ago he almost made a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Luckily, we got to him before anything could happen. He is doing better now but today,when Currie was fired and Fulmer was announced as the AD, is the first time I have heard him laugh and act happy in a long time. He has a long way to go but this gives me hope. Thank you to Volnation and all those in the Gruden thread. You made a change in Tennessee football but also probably in a young mans life. I pray for his health more than anything but also for the the return to the dominance of Tennessee football. I want him to see it and not just here my stories about it. Go Vols!

Prayers to you and your boy. Hope all goes well from this point forward.

I thought her opening statements were good even though i think she almost bust into tears a few times. I think she’s just completely exhausted. I don’t have poor words to say about her in the presser.

With that.....

DOMINATING SEC CHAMPIONSHIP COVERAGE!
WOO!
Yeah, I said it, WOO!

 

[VolFan32]

She said what she needed to without going off. Sounded like she wanted to punch Currie.

 

[jctenn1]

time for all VOLNATION to get behind FULMER.....
LETS MAKE UT GREAT AGAIN......
OUR VOICES HAVE BEEN HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GBO

 

[Wild @s a Mink]

She struck me as someone who lives by the "if you can't say something nice about someone; don't say anything at all."

I liked her. She seems pretty no nonsense to me. I also sincerely felt that after this social media storm that she finally GETS what Tennessee is about.

Phil had me crying tears of joy and redemption for him. It’s a good day to be a Tennessee Vol.

My gosh fulmer just OWNED that place. He just walked in there and said this is mine, we're coming, sooooonnnnn

 

[Chilmonty]

Bev is in WAY over her head!! Phil was right at home!

Phil said "I'm going back to get Gruden" Well thats what I heard! :blink::blink:



.

 

[TCDuckman23]

It’s hard to hear CPF...that Natty Ring/bling is blocking the words!!!

 

[UTVolinExile]

 

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

Bev's just like "can we please wrap this up soon? I need to get high."

I actually lol'ed. +1:lolabove:

 

[YouTubeVol]

I shed a few tears I will admit.

 

[revjayp]

Anybody know where I can get the tie Fulmer wore in the pc?

Sears

 

[GBO25]

Stability...That's what Phil Fulmer brings. We certainly need that right now...

 

[JohnnyVolunteer]

Ok she needs to go.

I understand but let's give her a break. She did do what VN asked and lets see how she is from here on. I don't think she could've made a better choice than PF. He lives UT and will ALWAYS have its best interests at heart. We're lucky.

 

[TCDuckman23]

Honest question. Phil back in as AD, is this the day the curse is lifted???

 

[photovol]

You know though, she said exactly what she needed to say at an introductory press conference.

The information on what happened will come out eventually. bet on it.

Several different flavors I'm sure

 

[Tee Martin 4 pres]

Play anybody, anywhere, anytime and that's what were gonna do!


Boom!

Fuller has been and always will be all in. And he will make all those around him believe !!!! Congrats Volnation we not only won battles. We won the war !!!!! Now all unify and support !!!!

 

[Vol-in-Bham]

So is the Armada in the air, Beav?

CPF was building toward dropping “and I think the man for the job is Jon Gruden!” ... I could feel it

I sent up a prayer for your son and your family. All the best...

 

[SaintLouisVol]

Looks like shes been crying.

Maybe, but I think she was just terrified. This is probably not anywhere near at the top of her list of favorite things to do.

I thought her remarks, while obviously prepared by committee, were very, very good. CPF was just himself, as he should have been.

 

[Squints]

Redemption is oh so sweet.

 

[Dudleys87]

Fulmer is a boss and owned every part of the presser

Seemed like she was emotional at first. Almost like she gets it now...I hope she does.

 

[Volgirl4u]

"there's guys out there that might be interested in tennessee now that might now have been interested before"

You caught that too huh? Me and a guy in our office (who is a lurker in here and needs to get an account) both looked at each other!!!!

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Stability...That's what Phil Fulmer brings. We certainly need that right now...

Even more than stability, leadership. The aura of command was rolling off him during that press conference like fog rolling off the stage of a Pink Floyd concert.

Dude was in complete command of his situation.

That's very reassuring as we move into the coaching hunt.
