Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIV

[Coastypop]

If Butch is Not fired.... Then Most of what we have heard needs to be re-thought and re-examined ....... If He is fired party on

That is my only real thoughts today.... besides being stunned that Butch is (as of now) still employed

8:15 AM on a Sunday and there are 4600 people on VN. We're all waiting for the same thing.

Yep. And it can't happen soon enough.

 

[MtnVol]

Based on no action by Currie means 1 of 2 things.

1 - if Jones finishes out the end of the year he is looking at coaches that are currently coaching teams.

2 - he might retain Butch next year.

Sadly, I'm beginning to feel this way as well.

 

[Behr]

I agree but he has been right so far.

Yea, MIT has too.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

I guess I'm just a little bit confused why this loss is good for Tennessee if Jones was going to be fired "win or lose."

Because it puts more pressure on Currie. People and money. Apparently Currie is holding up the process like Hart did. Maybe this is why Jones has not been fired yet, or maybe he knows he has his man and is playing chess to make it happen. The thing that sucks is we are left suffering, even though it's only a game.

 

[OrangeWayOfLife]

Hmmm. Seems like the beave has softened his stance on the "done deal".

 

[Gymguy]

No. We're gonna wait until everyone else picks their coach, and then pick between Bobo and Satterfield.

You talking about Scott Satterfield? I hope not app state lost to umass last night!

 

[MtnVol]

Sadly I'm afraid we might see a lot of these insiders back peddling today.

 

[Boca Vol]

So last Sunday we had insider info regarding billboards being changed out and items being removed from Pilot stores.

I can't wait to see what this week brings....

 

[OrangeWayOfLife]

Butch is not wearing a Power T pin.

Does he usually?

 

[VFLnSFD]

Does he usually?

Invariably until the last couple of weeks.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Hmmm. Seems like the beave has softened his stance on the "done deal".

Lol

 

[BearCat204]

Does he usually?

Not that it means anything, but yes he normally wears it on the show.

 

[Grand Vol]

GV is awake. Let's see if he's also sober.

Yeah, I was sober. I was also coming off a 15 hour day so I was ready for shower and the bed. If I could have taken a shower in bed, that would have been nice.

But not sifting through a thread plus for nuggets last night lol

Some have no room to back up; MIT said the deal was signed over a week ago. I, of course, called BS!

 

[chargervol]

I understand this.

Figured if any did, you would be one.

Part of me just wants to grab a pitchfork and hunt down Currie. Demand he fires Jones in the next hour just so I don't have to look at him. It's actually kinda hard to remain calm and accept the standard protocol.

 

[BogeyVol]

Dang. There goes Plan B... :banghead2:

 

[HugeVols]

Lol

His premise, I think is Jones is done, Gruden will happen because the boosters, and to a lesser degree the fans, will force the hand to finally hire Gruden. Gruden is not 100%, but it's not 0% either.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Still thinking it happens today or tomorrow. No new info.

What happens?

The guy who said he has 100% confidence that the AD has his back is going to up and resign?

 

[RikidyBones]

still thinking it happens today or tomorrow. No new info.

👀

 

[StoVol]

It's the same thing we've always done. And interestingly enough, it's the same way the Browns franchise is run.

We are going to outsmart everyone. We are going to play the long game with Butch Jones. He's going to bounce back and be fine. We are going to take a flyer on this guy from Cincinnati. Save the AD some money and this guy will be great in a few years. We're going to go get this guy from LA Tech because he has great hair and a winning daddy.

We hear everyone screaming at us how terrible these ideas are, but they don't know anything. We know. So we don't care what you think.

It's like a Billionaire taking weeks to shop for a used car. If you are lucky, you might get a decent deal. You might find the perfect 1999 Camry. You know what you aren't going to get? Those weeks of your life back (years in this case), and a ****ing Ferrari. Just go buy a ****ing Ferrari and stop worrying about value.

We are worth too much damn money to care so much about getting that 99 Camry for 94% of bluebook value. It's just ****ing absurd.

Like this

I was wondering if Currie's mean looks on the sidelines were he was mad at losing or he's afraid he's going to have to get off his butt and make a decision

That wasn't his premise a week ago.
