Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIV

[revjayp]

Because those are the 2 possibities, and Currie is widely known to be a sharp and shrewd businessman, which does logic dictate?

I don’t know Currie or his past decision record to decide. There’s just as many people from K State who said he was horrible as their are that say he’s great. With Hart/Hamilton we had hires we could go by. With Currie, I really don’t know. But, I’m going to go with what I want to hear! Lol. Until it’s not longer an option.

Its awesome when a guy repeatedly says he is not interested in coaching college football, yet we have endless threads about his plan when he gets here

It's awesome when there's a thread dedicated to the hiring of Jon Gruden and people who aren't interested in the idea keep posting in it.

Beaver and DTO are correct when saying Butch is done. That deal was made almost 4 weeks ago. Reasons that insiders don’t need to say for us to see why that’s true.

1. Butch Jones hasn’t used twitter in over a month.
2. Recruits are not visiting and you’ll continue to see that until the next staff (saving officials for new staff)
3. AD won’t issue a statement supporting jones


Why it is good to keep butch until the new head coach is in place;

Butch is very good at making the kids attend class. Regardless of football he looks out for kids off the field as well. Keeping him through the season helps keep everyone in good standing academically for the new staff.

If you hire an interim and the players go wild and start skipping classes before Christmas break that’s a whole new issue that the new staff will have to face.

As much as we as fans want him gone now we have to think about the players and the future of our program. Not the instant gratification of the firing.

Spot on. The APR would stand to take a hit if Butch was fired this early. It's not just about the 3.5 hours on Sat. There's a lot that goes to run a program.

If anyone thinks kids wouldn’t want to play for John Gruden..think again

I don't know how he will do in other areas but he will kill it on the recruiting trail. He will almost be able to pick the QB's he wants. Anyone who can't see this, isn't paying attention.

 

[tastycar]

I will say there are less infiltrators than I expected today. So far, anyway...

 

[Squints]

Helps with the pain.

Ty

Agreed.

I've been numb for quite sometime, though.

I think we got merged.

That’s one of the reasons that I believe, they will announce his firing but let him coach out the season.

[Kurtastrophe]

Guys. Currie fired Frank Martin. Do we really expect him to save this program?

I don't really see how a lame duck coach acts as much of a Safety Patrol. Would have been nice if he was on a ride-along with Kelly the other evening

 

[Orange&White]

This is incredibly sound logic. Sadly, this morning, logic is not welcome here.

So we are keeping Butch as a baby sitter? Lol

Pretty good safety control if you get kicked off a team that Gruden will be coaching soon.

They wanted me to do it, but I told them I had to take care of all of you.

 

[Power T-Rev]

The Grizz’s bench is killer

There was a Chandler Parsons sighting last night. Oh, sorry. Grude on!

That might be an interesting sell for Butch.

 

[TNJOKER]

And just like that, we are back to year 1

While your logic is good and I get it, my emotions force me to be ill with Butch is at the helm. I can't help but hope he is gone in 10 minutes, but will try to back off Henley when he's not.

 

[tastycar]

Sorry, this made me giggle...Houston Kress tweeted we hired the Butch Jones of AD's

 

[OrangePill]

To be fair, Frank Martin hit one of his players. Twice.

 

[VFLnSFD]

I applaud your self awareness.

 

[TNJOKER]

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.

To much logic in this post. I've got a headache now

Taught Frank Martin a little humility. Made him a better coach and kept him from morphing into a latter day Bobby Knight imo.

 

[OriginalCoach]

Gruden isn't coming to TN. But I guess dreams are all that's left in the VN.
