Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIV

[BigPoppa]

Even my TV has heard enough of CBJ's cliches and excuses.

Went out during the Coach's Show. Not every channel......just the one he was on.

Odd.

I would be shocked if there is 50K at the Southern Miss next week if Butch is still our coach...Low attendance and a round of boos from the fans may be what it takes to get thru to Currie..If Butch is fired within the next two days, it may not matter..

SOON

Hasn't helped yet, why would the Southern Miss game be any different?

 

[Power T-Rev]

I said this a few Grudens back and got bashed.

We will not hear any solid information while we still have a head coach. We don't even know for sure about "an agreement " with Butch. No University conformation. Just message board stuff.

All agree something needs to be done. We are on this thread wanting Gruden.
We won't know until the first step is done.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Jon Gruden will never coach a down of football at Tennessee.

 

[esarmstrong]

Just imagine Petrino leading the team out of the T.
He’s riding one of our new sponsors, a Harley Davidson.
He’s wearing a neck brace and has a majorette hanging onto him.
Unfortunately, Smokey swerves in front of his Harley, Petrino crashes into the Drum Major.
The cheerleaders and players all go down like bowling pins into a Big pileup on the 20 yard line.
Kesling yells out, “what a turn of events”.
We make the “play of the decade” on Sportscenter.

If we hire that snake I'm done with Tennessee.

 

[MtnVol]

As much as I am trying to keep the faith... I agree that this Briles thing seems like another "Well it fell through because they wouldn't give Gruden the assistants"

 

[RagingOrange]

Not an insider by any means. The end of the promotion is a true statement, doesn’t mean it correlates to anything.

Like everyone else, I’m just choosing to believe, it’s better than the alternatives.

Im defending you.

Welcome to the forums.

 

[DougVol]

We give Jimmy a lot of grief - and deservedly so - but so far he has been right about this coaching situation. Would not be surprised at this at all.

Jimmy is a sack of woe

 

[Moped]

I think it's just click bait. Gruden will continue to be in the broadcast booth next year.

 

[Chatt Vol]

Dude, **** Mike Griffith. That guy has his head so far up Butch’s ass he can’t hardly breath

Agreed

 

[volfannbama]

Im out if its petrino. Ill just root for Navy for a few years until UT gets another coach.

 

[daj2576]

If he were going to be fired it would have already happened, waiting until Monday or Tuesday adds nothing to the equation neither does waiting till the end of the year. He is getting paid for this season whether he coaches or not

If fired he gets roughly 5500 a day from that point to the end of the contract.

 

[HugeVols]

Dude, **** Mike Griffith. That guy has his head so far up Butch’s ass he can’t hardly breath

I hope they don't expect the fan's support then

 

[Offset Eye]

Who cares?

Its a thought.

He didnt claim to be an insider.

Its all speculation.

Gtfo if a new poster who had been lurking finally wants to join the fray bugs you.

1 post or 10,000...not a single one of us knows wtf is happening.

Calm your nipples. If you don't like what I post, ignore me. Your handle is apropos, BTW.

[Grayvol4life]

Why is he still our coach?

 

[RagingOrange]

I would be shocked if there is 50K at the Southern Miss next week if Butch is still our coach...Low attendance and a round of boos from the fans may be what it takes to get thru to Currie..That said, I still believe and am waiting just like everyone else..

SOON

And maybe a ******ned empty stadium is Currie calling the AA's bluff...

But what do the nerds care about athletics

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Hasn't helped yet, why would the Southern Miss game be any different?

That’s why I said MAYBE..Just speaking my opinion..I’m just as frustrated as everyone else trying to make sense of this ordeal..

 

[UTVolinExile]

But, and again, I've always respected your posts, but this is sounding more like an 'out' to the alleged people in the know.

Well, it was that dang Briles deal that made it fall through.

I am so bitter and skeptical right now, that may be coloring my view, but as of now, I'm seeing easy excuses as to why it didn't happen. I can't believe anyone with 3 brain cells left would even consider Art Briles.

Fair enough. I will be clear though:

1. I still think Butch will not coach next Saturday,
2. I think the AD started that ball rolling last night,
3. I think Gruden will be our next coach.

The evidence that causes me to believe these things hasn't changed or been called into question. I was simply speculating about a possible new variable. Thought I was clear about that.

 

[Mike4Vols]

Jimmy is a sack of doodoo

Fixed it for ya...

 

[CAVPUT]

I heard Gruden has already signed a contract extension through 2021 for ESPN.

Highly doubt he’d sign it if he knew he was ready to accept the UT job.

Why bring facts into the middle of a bunch of kids having a wet dream about a fantasy coach.

 

[UneducatedGuess]

That's too much

 

[Volbrando]

I hope to God the ONLY reason BJ is still the coach right now is because something MUCH bigger is setup and done and it’s all a timing thing now

 

[vol81]

The decision has been made. He is out. The question is timing. You idiots calling for Currie's head ought to wait and see where we are in six weeks before making a Judgment.
I know this is the instant gratification generation, but sometimes one must let the process actually play out, and in the end achieve a better result.
Rest assured, Butch will not be the HC in four weeks.
And the process of finding and securing the next coach will not be slowed by not firing him tomorrow.

What do you think of the halloween/corona piece?
