Official Jon Gruden Thread XVIII

[5FingerVolPunch]

If Gruden ends up HC he will bring in his own staff and it'll be guys he knows and trusts. Kiffin won't be one of them. I don't even know why this is being discussed. Lol.

 

[preacherwebb]

Let's start a Kaepernick appreciation thread.

Whoa whoa whoa, take a knee on that idea for a bit....

If we get Gruden and this turns out to be true, Kap daddy is gonna be the new avatar.

maybe?

 

[Coastypop]

I don't post a lot, but I'm all in for Gruden. Have been since 2012. I only lurked back then (didn't join til later). Those original threads were gold.

Careful to not overdo it with posts, you need to pace yourself

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

Not to mention the fact that Kiffin would instantly split the fan base. Why would a new HC want to start out that way.

Agreed....would not happen.

 

[OrangeTsar]

As much as I think Kiffin is the scum of the earth as a person and also a professional, he would make it his life's purpose to whip Satan's butt. I'd go for it, but only if he's on a short leash.

FWIW, I think Gruden might be one of the only people on the planet that Kiffin would fear/respect enough to keep him on siad leash

 

[UTVolinExile]

I have one particular friend, who isn't a Tennessee fan, that will never hear the end of it.

Good man! I say rival fans deserve all they get!

 

[Magic8Vol]

So business as usual I see

My wife gave you a like for that one. I wondered how long that would take

 

[2EastTnVols]

I'm just glad I found this thread long ago. I would be very angry right now that Butch is still here if I was not privy to the info here. I'm liking the way it seems Currie is working; he is hardcore.

Am I the only one that sometimes wanders outside of this thread and sees things about other potential coaches and becomes genuinely confused about why anyone would be discussing these folks?

 

[The Comb]

And we wouldn't even get Layla this time so not worth it IMO

Yes. It reminds of that line in "Knocked Up" when dude goes in the delivery room and comes out and says, "Don't go in there. Promise me you won't go in there." 😜

lol I don't leave this thread at all, there are some miserable folks out there.

 

[RockyTopSC]

Like I said...it'll be announced when it's most beneficial to Mr. Currie and what he is trying to accomplish.

I subscribe to the theory that they are letting Butch twist in the wind in order to renegotiate the buyout...I don't know that, but it would align with the way Currie has been described to me.

That being said, it won't surprise me if he's let go after Bama...which I have heard.

Who knows?

Hey old friend.
John is very much like what I assume you have heard. I don’t know what he is doing but I do know that silence is a powerful leverage tool.
I also know the AD is locked down tight. I had surmised that only a small group 10 or so know exactly what is happening. That being said I had that conversation last night with someone that told me it was more like 3. That is as far as the AD is concerned. I have several good friends that are in that office. I will not say what they do as it would give them up. I can also tell you that they know “something” is happening and it has been stated if anyone hears anything and it is repeated their position will be re-evaluated. I am certain John does not want any lose lips that can be traced back to him (my opinion).

They could just say they hired Daniel Tosh

This is the sort of thing I wait for all day.

Yep. I got tired of googling the names mentioned.

Yes, but it's not even really the names so much but the people that would be happy with them. When I see people so gusto for guys like Brohm and Frost it seriously pisses me off.

I'm like "Have you not learned your lesson" or "Are you just too young to remember that Tennessee can actually be good?"

This sounds about right. I know Mr. Manning is suitably impressed.

Question ... are you related to anyone that does/did work at a barber shop in Newport? Chair closest to the window?
