Official Jon Gruden Thread XXV

[jpope9]

I do find it interesting the davenport stuff and butch buy out leaks out now to take the heat off currie and to turn the public anger toward davenport....well played Currie.

 

[Volfan82]

Yea idk. All I know is that the outsourcing was gonna affect athletics as well I work for the university and they kept telling us athletics would be involved. That it would be Davenport’s decision. But you never heard about athletics only the departmen I’m in.

How exactly? Like the athletic facilities? Outsourcing the upkeep, etc?

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Do tell 😍

Ok, the smiley with the hearts for eyes is just creepy...

 

[VFLnSFD]

Alright give me a minute..and again it could be complete BS..it'll be just an overview..stakeholders as groups and no names..except Haslam, Gruden, Jones, and Currie, and Corker.

I don't think corker is a real stakeholder. Perhaps ancillary but not primary.

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

So does not outsourcing facilities management, as Haslam preferred, a sign of anything between Davenport and Haslam family? That seems to introduce a new dimension.

 

[patrick]

nah, Haslam Senate, Corker POTUS !

Corker sucks

 

[checkthetape]

Pretty sure everyone at UT has now been blamed for holding this up...except Joe the groundskeeper. Take cover Joe.

Yes this.. Joe is ultimately the problem and has been for a while but I can assure you THAT JOE IS NOT A GROUNDSKEEPER.. Even goofy Bev Davenport has no real say

 

[VFLnSFD]

I want to know too.

 

[ChiefTKE]

And prob chuckling at the Davenport rumor..he won't be here till drama complete imo..

Davenport same as Lookout MT hamburger late night Davenport folks or dif?

Different

 

[Squints]

People truly believe that Davenport stuff? Lol

Lapping it up

 

[EZE]

so word on the street is that Beverly Davenport is the one that is holding everything up. That she is completely content with Butch Jones coaching at UT in 2018.

There is something wrong behind the scenes IMO. Somebody or something is an obstacle to (1) getting Butch outta there and (2) landing a replacement.

Florida shows how it can be done quickly if everybody will get on the same page. We have our version of Congress running the show.

 

[NAILS]

No

 

[Face]

Absolute fantasy. The "I'll sue the university, I tells ya!" part is especially comical.

Worst troll attempt I’ve seen this time around.

Worse that VolReporter hahaha

 

[volmanbill]

Thought you and me was aight, Bill.

Exactly why I put it that way. I would never aim that low for you Behr...

More like Jimmy Buffett.

 

[volgr]

Corker sucks

That is being too kind.

 

[BubbaWms]

Considering the buyout was reached a couple of weeks ago, I'm pretty sure we can put away the #firebev idea.

IMHO, until Bev agrees to sign the Chancellor line of contract, nothing has been reached and yes I am fully aware certain individuals have posted that buyout is supposedly a non issue. The Chancelor is a player and a big player in this plot. I still however believe at the 11th hour contracts will be signed and feelings will get hurt and lines will be drawn but like you, that's simply my opinion !

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

So who’s the one poster on here that would make everybody +%#* their pants if they popped in and said “it’s a go”?

@espnscrewedchuck on twitter w direct post here would do it

 

[Grand Vol]

Can GrandVol get back with 11 pm update?

Nothing to update really.

Someone made up some silly nonsense about Davenport on Twitter.

As in completely made up. But it got panties in a wad around here.

That's about it since my last update from around 5:30 or so.

 

[checkthetape]

Beverly Davenport and her mentality is just a reflection of the overall philosophy of UT administration.. Athletics are secondary and have been..

Board of Trustees...

Time to start lighting them up at their offices and such.

I see what you are saying, however, jimmy sexton is a smart man who knows whose signature needs to be on each document. He has a client trying to get out for nearly a year. Those i's were dotted, IMO.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Bev is a big fan of Peyton.

well then..we good

^This. Also didn't notice that Deerpark went dark about that time. Very telling.

 

[allvolbaker12]

The facilities and stadium was rumored to be involved trash pick up after games. That’s all they told us but also said more involved. We have been told not say anything about it that some of the bot will be here Wednesday. She has a meeting with each and every board member with many topics. And be done Friday

 

[patrick]

might not be the right place for this information but Kendrick did have a concussion during the UK game.
