Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVI

[baburntt]

Presser starts in about 15 mins?

 

[Sparkyvol10]

Other then Hyams the other media I follow on Twitter have been unusually quiet the last couple of hours. Putting a story together maybe?

 

[andywilson001]

Hyams confirming on twitter Kendrick concussion. Throwing up. No memory of second half.

I want to like this but I feel like it would imply that I like his concussion.

So I will say I like that it is bad news for Butch, but I do not like the fact that Kendrick had/has a concussion and I hope he is OK.

 

[Volnbeers]

Listening to basilio...there was a good point brought up...was kendrick medically evaluated before being sent back out?

I want butch gone as much as everyone else (for two years now actually) but there is the possibility he didn't know he was concussed.

 

[preacherwebb]

Can someone explain the outsourcing bit being denied as whether it's good or bad for the Gruden hire?

I just never really grasped how it would make Haslam either more likely to fall in line or more likely to sabotage.

yeah, me too.
i get it all but this one thing.
help, someone throw me a life preserver.

I feel like MIT_Beaver has really enjoyed this situation. I could be wrong, but he seems to say just enough to fan the flame. My guess is he posts and then sets back and laughs. A credible sports reporter would have already taken off with this story if Gruden to Tennessee was a done deal. People can't keep information secret. We all know that. I just hope Tennessee makes a good hire. I would be excited to see UT get Gruden. GBO

good to see other cards fans in the gruden thread. weird how the situations mirror each other.

tough be a fan of both teams right now!

I think the Cards are in a good place right now, lots of big arms and young players. The next couple of years should be lots of fun. So many arms, looks like Lance Lynn walks this winter without even an offer, not many teams could do that. JMO

Question of the day....

If CJG is hired and we still have a few games left, can he start helping the team right away? Can he come in a coach JG and help him be a better QB? Can he have input to the interim coach?

Would love to see if come in for the last few games... work with JG and he go off those games. Would be epic!

 

[revjayp]

We will know in about 10 mins. If butch shows up, watch for the whiny Butts to come in... just prepare yourself to fight off the manically depressed till the 3pm up swing.

 

[Memphisvol87]

You guys will literally find anything to believe in regards to butch being fired. The people trolling you have to be enjoying this becuse it’s beyond comical how desperate you are to believe anything they say regardless of how many times they have been wrong, which has been going on for weeks.

 

[Harry Vols]

Cards fans have no room to talk...

Try being a lifelong Cubs fan...:hi:

Shoot, the Cubs win it all every 108 years. lol:

They’re gonna go get that big boi Stanton and there’ll be dingers for everyone en route to #12!

 

[Hawkpilot]

Yes Sir!

Very nice.

The Grude News, special edition. For those just tuning in.

Keep Hawk and family in your thoughts and prayers. His wife went in for a biopsy today. Here's to hoping everything turns out okay.

For those tuning in, some important terms to know in this thread going forward (by request)

TL;DR = Too Long; Didn't Read (Coasty's posts)
VC = Venture Capital (money raising type of thing)
CV = Castor Ventures (another money making kind of thing)
CJG or JG = Coach Jon Gruden
Boom = I'm thrilled at the news, but cannot think of a coherent thing to add, so this single word will suffice to describe my emotions
Freak = not going there
Grumors = $$$$$$$$$ for Freak
SFD = Thread mom that will pull over this hype train and beat your ass with a fishing bat if you don't settle down
Ape = Extremely intelligent but chatty poster
GTFO = Run out of the thread like the IRS is coming after you
STFU = May we please indulge your silence in the matter and your thoughts are not required at this time
Volly = Lead instigator of the estrogen mafia crew
IMO = In my opinion
Grude = Many variations, all of which mean good things to include the aforementioned boom
T&P = Thoughts and prayers (especially for Mrs. Hawk)
Doyle's Grudometer = Meter for measuring how much belief Doyle has in Gruden coming to UT. Smells like a garbage truck

This being a supplemental broadcast, other news will be covered in a later broadcast.

I was thinkin' about all the nice things I was gonna say to you. And then.....

Practice your eye discipline, boys! Watch the presser.

Would love to see if come in for the last few games... work with JG and he go off those games. Would be epic!

If he's officially hired he could absolutely start coaching right away... But I doubt that will be the case. He would still have his MNF commitments until the end of the season.

As someone that is around football coaches every day.. It's his job to know. Any coach would tell you so.

Sabotage..but indicates a possible shift in who they're listening to. If you're an optimistic Grudenite

 

[fishing Vol]

Oh Beaver...heros don't wear capes..guys in cammies have tons of heros..you sir or ma'am are mine. Regardless

I about spit coffee on the computer. Because my "at work" sarcasm kicked in. lol:
