Official Jon Gruden Thread XX

[scottvols69]

That's his buyout if he is fired. You sure that's the buyout if he leaves? Usually 2 different numbers.

I'm pretty sure that's if they fire Jimbo, if he leaves its probably more in the 10-15m range.

 

[Coastypop]

Gave you a like for that one.

Dang.... I have been giving em out to you and Joe like they were candy and this is Halloween and you two were dressed and orange Beavers

Claim down .... I'm talking the poster

 

[joevol33]

This. And supposedly TJ Sheldon just decomitted.

Ugh

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

Wasn't he one of the "Butch will gone Sunday" people?

I thought that was THamilton. I could be wrong though. If I remember correctly, MIT has stated he doesn't know when he will be fired a couple of different times.

 

[Jravol78]

How?

allow me to answer. If You said to Currie, Manning, Thornton, Haslam, etc... "Is the Beav still ruffling your feathers?" Here is the most likely response: "who in the actual F*** is the Beav??"

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

LWS are we even looking at other coaches? I mean what in the hell are we waiting on? Every damn person in this country who knows anything about football knows that Butch is a dead man walking! So why drag this out?!!! I am sorry I am just effing sick and tired of this university treating its most prized asset in football and our fan loyalty like crap.

I don't have any inside information or anyone inside at UT. However I do know counterparts in other AD offices in power 5 conferences. The only reason I talked to them today is that they all have a love for Atlanta United and it's the last game of season. We are also involved in a lot of charity work around Atlanta.
Anyway they said that the chance of Gruden becoming the head coach of UT was about 1%. Also that the chance of Butch getting fired before the season was over was pretty slim as well (unless things truly went sideways).
Again that is just their opinion and no inside info. One of them also said that UT is a sleeping giant with the gains the HS system has made in turning out players, and the right coach could make a huge impact early. And they are a "rival" of ours for recruiting purposes.
Anyway not really any good solid info, but thought I would share.
Also they all thought that Matt Campbell was the best up and coming coach. They all seemed impressed by him as well as Scott Frost. They didn't really like Chip Kelly, put him in the same bracket as Mike Leach, just too hard to work with. They did say that they watch Leach's press conferences though and loved them. Just said both would be to hard to work with at a Southern or Traditional power school.

Okay.

 

[EZE]

Just curious, WHY a misinformation campaign? This isn't the Pentagon and a coaching search isn't like leaking the nuclear codes. I'm sick of saying it but I really do feel like they've effed the fanbase by deciding to keep Butch.

Exactly.

 

[Coastypop]

Wasn't he one of the "Butch will gone Sunday" people?

Unsure about in the beginning but posted the other day that he did not have that information

I think a lot of posters may have just assumed it and began saying it so it became a so called "truth"

 

[ER Vol]

You in Atlanta? Man I hate traffic down there, I live just above Gainesville.

Traffic is horrible here. I live in Milton and drive into town every day.

 

[Hawkpilot]

Seeing that pic of Currie on the field after the game yesterday...he did not have the look of a man holding four aces.

I thought it was the look of a man taking it all in. Harnessing the hate inside him for all thing Crimson. Formulating a tactical plan to destroy them and shut their smug illiterate mouths. Hal Moore was the last man off LZ X-Ray for a reason. Because he was a leader. Let's hope Currie has those same traits.

 

[Coach_Z]

If Beaver is as wealthy, worldly, and well-connected as he makes it seem, why does he have almost 100 posts on a message board in a couple weeks?

Shouldn't he be wheeling and dealing or playing golf, instead of here with us lowly peons on VolNation at all hours of the day?

 

[barrylee]

Haha, I don’t give a crap about the precious ecred you all race over. I’ve been the one constantly saying I think he’s trolling everyone. If he’s wrong how about this, I won’t come back to these threads and mention him. If he’s right I’ll gladly come and say what an idiot I am. You wanna do the same?

Yes I will, all I'm saying is u guys have made it clear how u feel, I'm just tired of every time the dude posts here comes the same ones say I g the same carp..
I've said I have no idea if he's trolling or not but its entertaining..

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

This. And supposedly TJ Sheffield just decomitted.

Sheffield? 2019 commit?

 

[UTvolsr#14ALL]

At this point I am not questioning MIT's posts and or insider comments. In fact, I truly hope what he has said becomes reality. My point today, does his information remind you of anyone from the 2012 campaign? By no means am I saying that he is "Sheeter" but he sure reminds me of him.

 

[joevol33]

Traffic is horrible here. I live in Milton and drive into town every day.

I’d have a meltdown!

 

[Specks]

I don't want to name the other poster because he/she has been relatively quiet with short nuggets - & I want them to keep posting. Also, the connecting dots are somewhat tenuous, but combined with my OCD reading of this board, my woman's intuition, & my hopes/dreams for UT football, it's enough for me. Let's face it, we won't know for sure until we know for sure. However, I think MIT's screen name is DIRECTLY connected to one of the $ sources, so that makes me think he does know what he's talking about.

The poster who just dropped a and hasn’t been seen since?

Let’s hope!

 

[ER Vol]

This. What would "going sideways" entail?

Not showing up to the game? Losing by 100?

I asked the same question. How many "historic" losses do you need in a season to consider it bad?

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Sheffield? 2019 commit?

Yes autocorrect

 

[volfanhill]

You make a point about the trolls being fans of other teams. I’ll say, I have extreme disdain for Florida, Bama, and Georgia, but I just don’t have the time to scheme up a fan forum troll game for other teams. I probably spend too much time on this thread but at least it is my own team. It must be a sad lonely existence for someone who has the time and energy to consistently troll on here if they are fans of another team.

Agreed. A stupid and sad existence.

 

[sugarvol]

Is Matt's smiley emoji still the latest or has that changed?

 

[daj2576]

I give you credit for not backing off. My only question is, will we see you here if it doesn’t happen? To own up to being wrong?

I hope so. Then the next coaching search we can call him an insider.

 

[joevol33]

Time will tell for us all my friend b

Good god, what do they define as going "truly sideways"?

Johnny Majors did not make it the whole season. Phillip Fulmer did not make it the whole season. Derek Dooley did not make it the whole season. How on Earth can Butch?
