Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIV

This same guy said Butch would be coaching the Southern Miss game, so there's your answer.

Jeff did? You sure about this? I think you are thinking of Jimmy Hymas.

My 2,000th post!!!!

I was hoping to save this for a happier post filled with Peyton dancing and all other manner of celebratory gifs. However, here we are. As Vol fans it feels like yet another kick to the nuts every second that Butch is the head coach.

Here is where I have a case for optimism. I have NO inside sources and NO inside information whatsoever. This is simply my assessment of things I think "could" be happening right now.

Every day they trot ole Butchy out there as our head coach is nauseating for us. I get it. Here is why I think it is better for us in the long run. Florida fires their coach who has won 2 straight East titles. They are now "officially" on the hunt for a new coach. They can form search committees, talk to agents, etc. They now have a head start on us in that regard. That would seem to be a bad thing and put us behind the 8 ball since everybody and their brother knows Butch won't be here next year. Why would Currie let him dangle like that and waste time searching for the next coach? This tells me that we have identified our target and could/should be working to get that done. If we didn't have a target in mind, we would have to go through those same steps like everybody else. So, each day we have Butch is a day I tell myself we are working to get a deal done with our #1 target. I wished he would have pulled the trigger after Bama and let an interim take us the rest of the way, but there is obviously a reason to let him dangle.

Now, all of this could be trumped if it turns out Currie is a complete buffoon and doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground....which could end up being true. If so, heaven help us.

I teleported to Saturday, 11/4/17, at 7:30 PM ET, and captured an image of Neyland Stadium, assuming Butch is still the coach:

Currie right now.

 

[DynaLo]

yep. I own it.

I also believe the "ignore" button is for armchair

fyp

 

[tnvols72]

LOL. This university is tone deaf.

#EmptyNeyland and that will get Curries attention and get him off his sorry azz and do his job. But then again.
I am still not convinced that UT is committed to winning anymore. If Gruden is not the coach next year, you can almost bet that they will hire another so called up and comer. I have no faith in these clowns.

Gif joke preach. Your post looked like you were hyperventilating. All this is out of our control. Don't let the people with money that destroys sports teams get to ya.

gimme something to believe in. gimme hope that's real.

 

[DocVol]

Did you read the contract? The one I linked?

Here’s the pertinent page. Explain it to me.

The language I see says he’s due liquidated damages to the tune of 2 million dollars per each year remaining on the contract and prorated by the amount of each partial year based on a 365 Day year.

He knows what he's walking away with. Whether he leaves tomorrow or at the end of the year (which won't happen). He knows his number already.

 

[VFLnSFD]

Coasty, is that really you?? Where is Coasty and what have you done with him..

SOON

I know! Yesterday I was giving up state secrets to make him feel better. Today? Zen Coasty.

Gruden works in mysterious ways.

 

[OSVolFan]

Sometimes I wish that would have been Butch that was caught shark humping while naked......

 

[Hawkpilot]

I’m with ya. Not the fastest, but I’m there! Lol.

We're at 4...and a couple who were on at 5am when I was still up breaking it down.

As long as we haven't had Gruden come out yet and say he doesn't want the job like he did in 2012, there is hope.

 

[tnvols72]

UT gets to save millions of dollars if he finishes the season.

Might be true but now that they have an early signing period and they cant afford to lose out on recruits that they can get if he is fired now and another coach is hired. Its bad enough that the recruits are already jumping ship.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

Doesn’t work that way, boss.

Doc what is UT waiting on? Dooley was fired before end of season, our National Championship winning coach was fired about this time of the season, but we are allowing Butch to continue?
