Official Jon Gruden Thread XXV

[zydane47]

Depends. If the media staff didn't mention it, you would be correct.

If Butch told him to get back in there after being told the situation, that is different.

Plus if the medical staff didn't report it couldn't they lose their medical license?

 

[ChiefTKE]

I just peed myself...thanks!

 

[B EaZy40]

Thank you...Anybody else find it odd that a repeat of this action is being talked about for the Homecoming game?

Its classless and uncalled for IMO no matter how bad we want Butch off the sidelines.

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Happy Halloween!!!

 

[tastycar]

Not buying it. Only thing I see on twitter from actual "media" is Fox Sports Knoxville and they do this every week.

You seem fun

 

[Grudenator]

Or what if kendrick just didn’t say anything?

I know you are not a troll but I will be shocked if anything happens today.

100% shocked if something happens today. Would have to be bad to go on the radio and say what he said then the next day do something different. Would kill credibility of the AD unless something major came to light. Who knows its all crazy at this point.

 

[jutvols]

Dang couldn't get on all day and there's more turncoats coming from everywhere. I'm still all in on gruden there is something that's telling me it's coming.Soon

 

[TenUhSee]

Stay calm, stuff going on behind the scenes.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Currie knew there was a medical issue but need a DR's official report to fire for cause...speculating speculating

They are supposed to have a protocol that eliminates discretion. This came up last night and was clawed back pretty quickly. This involves allegations of gross negligence, maybe worse. We should probably let more facts come forward before making judgments.

 

[BeecherVol]

I know you are not a troll but I will be shocked if anything happens today.

True.

They could also have something worked out and it not be released today.

I just don't understand why you alert the media if it's not something big. Who knows at this point? Let's ride the roller coaster.

Very true, but I find it interesting as to who is rumored to have paid for it and who is saying we could see a repeat this weekend.

I'm seriously confused about the vitriol towards the "academic side" of the university. Without strong academics we don't have billionaire boosters coming down the line. It is a circle that must be connected. No one wins by hating the academics.

MAYBE something like this could be what coaches are afraid of??? Seems there has been a big push recently to move UT into a higher performing institution (which is good), but some of the things listed below may be what UT is doing to move in that direction. There was a post earlier that some on the academic side would not care if football disappeared. The phrase "do not bite the hand that feeds you" comes to mind, and that would not be a saying if people did not do it.

From: magazine.nd.edu/news/notre-dame-football-the-indisputable-importance-of-saturday/

Others questioned the firing of the coach when the institution so severely handicapped its coaches with unrealistic restrictions, standards and expectations. Many speculated that Notre Dame and college football had changed so much that the University could no longer be among the elite programs. Some felt its academic standards and approach to athletics simply made it impossible to compete with other institutions playing by different rules.

...the conventional wisdom says that admissions standards in recent years have been tightened, that the kind of athletes who got accepted in the past are now getting turned away, and that for Notre Dame {football} to be successful the criteria must be relaxed. The admissions people will tell you otherwise; the standards have not changed.

It is, however, more complicated than that. For one thing, the University requires all of its students to enter college prepared to do college work, including more math than most high school athletes want to take and more than the*NCAA*stipulates. These requirements eliminate from consideration a good many of the nation’s best prep athletes.

The University, furthermore, is significantly better academically than it was even 10 years ago. While admissions standards for athletes have remained the same, selectivity for the rest of the student body is substantially more pronounced. So the academic credentials of the athlete and those of regular students are much less similar than in the past. That makes the athlete’s life that much more difficult. And, as the University has improved in recent times, there are no longer courses (as there were many years ago) in which to boost a*GPA, no majors in which to hide from demanding regimens.

maybe they didn't, could be someone from the media just happened to be there when it all happened and started calling/texting others

 

[zjcvols]

You seem fun

Just hate amateur media trying to whip the fan base into a frenzy to get hits.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Again, unless she is lying his mother says this is complete BS.

Don't shoot the messenger this time.

Florida AD on Saturday "we have had 0 discussions with Coach JM regarding a buyout"

Florida AD on Sunday "we have reached a buyout agreement with Coach JM"

Never believe any statements coming from ADs during times like this.

[StillaWaiting]

Would make a ton is sense and explain why he wasn’t fired Sunday.

 

[bcartervol98]

Why did they Sunday? I saw a text on a media members phone yesterday from his boss saying to stay close to the phone for news coming from the AD any minute. No reason to doubt. Maybe they do that with every little rumor I don't know. Nobody is answering texts right now.
