Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVI

[Hawkpilot]

Had the look of defeat and just going thru the motions. I honestly can't believe he has held on this long. I bet his mental health is in terrible shape.

To bad agents are able manipulate schools with a buyout..should be performance based contracts

 

[OSVolFan]

WOW, we are in a position , He would be willing to burn a redshirt if a helmet pops off !! WOW

it's not like we don't have a wildcat package, right? I don't think he cares, b/c he's not going to be here. Would probably burn it out of spite if given the opportunity.

 

[revjayp]

It took them a month to find a person to work the deep fryer at Burger King?

6 weeks actually. Well, I WAS the assistant to the assistant manager.

 

[MattR11]

Every time I make this comment, I get roasted. But I'm going to say it again, the likely hood of Jones coaching the rest of the year is greater then him being fired mid season. Like it, don't like it...don't care. He's done, that should make people happy.

Sad but true

Just wait until Butch is gone the stories that will come out. I know first hand straight out of the mouth of a players mom. I grew up with this mom and she and her sister is very close to my family mainly my sister and my mom. If I really wanted to know the Kendrick truth, all I have to do is make one phone call to her as her son is very close with Brett and his family and they play the same position on the OL. This mom use to love Butch and told me the more she found out what kind of person he is then she started to dislike him and not trust him at all. She knows a lot, trust me!

But I'm not getting involved in this mess and will be just reading and lurking only because of some info I reported the other day here with a friend of mine who works in recruiting for 247sports.com and getting blasted over it. I don't blame DTO leaving!

Carry on and let the cards fall as they must! Sooner or later all this will come out, trust me when Butch is gone.

Newsflash!!!! You just involved yourself.

 

[butchna]

The only thing I seemed to notice was that Butch looked very lethargic and laid back... If his demeanor means anything, he looked like a defeated man to me

Been checked out since the UGA beatdown.

 

[VFLnSFD]

Oh, AV, how we miss you.

Heard things yesterday that I gave my word I wouldn't repeat that would confirm this.

You just equated your job to the HFC at a P5 university. Really? There are different requirements for notifications at a Public University.

 

[newyorkvol]

It’s apparent that the assessment has been made that the cost/benefit of keeping Butch is better than the alternative.

There is mounting evidence from news sources that Butch will not be retained. So, again, keeping him on board outweighs firing him in-season.

With multiple other vacancies opening now and likely after the season, the assumption would be from the outside that our AD is content competing with these other programs for a new HC, or already has a solution.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

It's like watching Obama at a press conference. No reporter asks him anything that could possibly be considered negative.

Exactly and Butch is like watching trump.
A lot of words with very little substance.

 

[smittysmitt3434]

Oh, AV, how we miss you.

I do too, but after his last statement, I don't want him back until the party.

 

[Wild @s a Mink]

You’re getting nothing but agreement from me! It turns my stomach seeing him trot out each week lol.

 

[Ten_Titans]

This whole thing is a major head scratcher. How the hell they let him trot into that presser like nothing is going on is laughable.

Yeah it's almost like they don't know anonymous Volnation posters have the next 3 weeks planned out down to the minute.

 

[Hawkpilot]

Oh, AV, how we miss you.

Seems like a good dude and straight shooter.

 

[undertakervol]

During the presser, Butch said the backup QB would be ready to go. This coming from a coach that said Guarantano couldn't take a snap from under center because he had not practiced it. Fire him now! Bring on the Grude!

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

So it’s not just Betonline with Gruden as a 2/1 favorite. Bovada(who is very reputable) has him as the favorite at 2/1 as well.

 

[VFLnSFD]

Yes. But still.

We have a winner!

 

[volinSmyrna]

No we just prefer that when someone posts something as a fact here that it's actually true. Saying "Butch has been fired" or "the deal is done" is an unequivocal and bold faced lie. It's astonishing that people are defending this.

So you know for a fact he hasn't been told he wasn't going to coach here anymore? "WE" would love to hear that explanation and rationale.

If he hasn't been fired, explain these 2 things to me. He hasn't tweeted/retweeted a recruit in over 3 weeks. There are ZERO official visitors scheduled for Homecoming!!!!! We'll hang up and listen. lol:

 

[Godfatha]

I do too, but after his last statement, I don't want him back until the party.

What was his last statement?

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Seriously why do I get my hopes up. I'm admitting myself to a psych ward. Any suggestions ape?

cut out the middle man and move under the bridge while you still have a few wits about yourself.

 

[84Volfan]

In Trump's defense, he does have entertainment value, whereas butch is the equivalent of listening to a laryngitis version of Ben Stein (the clear eyes guy).

 

[Hawkpilot]

LOL agree.

Problem is we look more foolish everyday. A zoo. Not a Hess reference btw
