So... what side of the pendulum are we now? Gruden turned us down? But wait, not entirely but he did, just not yet?

Everyone should be on the patience side that Boro has been preaching this week. A little info leaked out last week and it has been on lock down since. Anyone claiming they know something or a deal is done or the deal is off is more than likely BSing. No one knows nuttin' right now.

Patience.

Greetings Everyone. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

First off, I know ... too long, didn't read.
Second of all, there is no Gruden news in this, soon to be, long post, so if that's what you're skimming for, skip this post.

Last night I decided to go to bed and the gif didn't work, and I didn't want to leave on that note of failure, so I changed it to one that worked (still don't understand this. what am i doing wrong?) Then I went to bed. Couldn't sleep, pulled up the thread on my phone, caught back up again, threw myself out the window (just kidding) and finally went to bed a defeated man.

I slept all night long. "No big deal" you say. Well, I pretty much never do that. I always get up at least once, and usually toss and turn, but not last night. Crashed. Thank the Lord for sleep.

So, this morning, without an alarm, my eyes pop open, and I've been awake ever since.

That being said, I know some of y'all are in here for fun. You hope we get Gruden, but if not, well at least we had fun while we were in this thread. I get it. I am glad for you all. 'Bout the only fun I have in here is posting gif's (when they work) and making some casual friends along the way. Some are in this thread to troll others. I don't understand the thrill in that. Some are in this thread to get "ecred." I don't understand this either. How old are you? Some are in this thread, because they have info that they want to share with others of a common interest. You know who you are. Thank you.

Me? Why am I in this thread? I want Gruden to be our next head coach. I believe in him. I believe in what he has done, and what he could do for our team. This thread discusses him, so here I am. I greatly desire that he be the next head coach, and some of y'all say it could be happening ... soon. I'm in. I'm in until they put someone on a podium and publicly announce to the world he (whomever that may turn out to be) is our next coach. I'm in.

What I can't handle, is all this cloak and dagger stuff. I'd probably never made it in the CIA during the cold war. I posted yesterday that I have a one track mind to the nth degree. Sometimes it's a good thing. Sometimes, no so good. Right now, not so good. I've got this on my mind and I can't let it go. Maybe I've got a touch of OCD, who knows. But it's how I'm wired. It is what it is. This thread is a roller coaster. I feel like Charlie Brown getting the ball pulled away. I know it's coming, but here I go again. I wanna believe what you guys are saying, then the rug get pulled out. Then I get propped back up, feeling pretty good, and the rug gets pulled back out. Rinse, repeat, and so on. I can't take it. Maybe I'm taking all this too seriously. Okay, you're right, I'm taking this whole thing waaayyy to seriously. That's why I've gotta back off a bit.

Maybe after Butch resigns, the need for disinformation won't be so important, truth will prevail, and hopefully some good news will leak 'til we announce our guy. But I can't take all the cloak and dagger. I understand it (sort of). It's necessary. But I ain't got the time or patience for it. I can't do it. Don't misunderstand, I'll always be lurking. Reading. Following. Just not so intently. I may even feel giddy and post a gif or two. If any of you want to email me, and talk me off the ledge, you can find me at yahoo.com. It isn't hard to figure out. But for now, I've gotta back away a bit.

Yeah, I'm nuts. :crazy: :loco: :blink:

Go Vols!
Go Currie.
Get Gruden!
Get it done!




Soooooonnnnnn .....

I just ventured out for a sec and took a peak in the hyams thread. I seriously dislike Jimmy. P*ssed off reading his quotes. 😠

The Gruden Thread night shift has morphed from Escape Goat and SamRebel bs'ing with each other into an Agatha Christie novel.

I absolutely do. My story is simple. I was all in in 2012. I thought I would have to replace my f5 button. After the fact I was able to verify that the fish had been on the hook by someone deeply involved without the possibility of getting egg on his face. So I continued to believe.

I am obsessively detail oriented. I can smell a rat when one is around typically based on a person's driving motivation and timing. I'm also married to a former head coach so I know what all it entails.

A couple more puzzle pieces have come together for me in the last 24 hours, and knucklehead just verified his validity for me.

I'm now at 90%, AND I think it has been locked up for a while.

If I may ask, at what level did your husband coach?

If there's one thing I'll give the beaver credit for it's this: there was no "i can't say but just got some great news!" Or any of that beating around the bush crap. He went all in and said ignore everything else Gruden is our next coach. He gave himself zero out should this thing not happen. It's a bold move Cotton, let's see if it pays off.

thamilton also posted some interesting stuff. Even provided his real name. Unlike most "insiders" on here.

You can't post that type of stuff unless you already have their trust. Last night was his trust gathering phase. He will move into that phase next.

This. Haven't ever liked him. Even more now.

1. He looks like a grody version of Opie Taylor.

2. He's so smug.

3. He says the word "quarterback" weird. It bugs me.

It seems I remember you from 2012.... I hope you and Knuckle are right... at this point I am no where near that precentage

For the first time since Grumors started back up I skipped ahead. No offense to the golfers but I just got tired of reading about courses.

What I know is there appears to be a new influx of "insiders" that people seem to want to buy into. I am skeptical about all of it right now. I am sure I have missed some things skipping 13 pages but I doubt I have missed anything to change my skepticism. I'm not going to ask anyone to catch me up on an anything. For me everything hinges on Sunday or Monday at the latest. When those days pass and Lyle Allen is still the head coach, the dream is dead for me.


Doyle's Grudometer is at 15% and holding steady.






Stalled on the pike

Yes! The Opie thing, I've said that forever. And he's always 8 days late with his info. And he is smug. You nailed it
