Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVI

[zydane47]

So are we still going off the assumption that Butch was fired after the UGA game and the buyout is settled and we're just keeping him till the end of the year cause of "reasons"?

Plus everyone sports network knows about it but isn't telling?

We still going with that story?

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

I don't even know what to think about what's going on anymore, but something has to happen and it has to happen soon. Our program is getting WAY too much negative press right now. It's starting to look really bad.

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Not one reporter asked Butch or Currie if a buyout is under way.

?????????????????????????

If Butch isn't fired before Saturday this will be the story ESPN talks about a lot on Gameday. As much as I want Butch gone, I don't want UT's name dragged through the mud any more, enough is enough! Didn't Matts come in yesterday and say things were happening? Be nice to get another update from him...

I'm gonna go with none at this point

 

[Kurtastrophe]

It shouldn't matter if Butch knew about the concussion.

If Butch didn't know about it, what does that say about him as the leader of this program?

From Butch's Contract

Section 3.2 - Termination by University for Cause

View attachment 142499

Reasonable cause..himself OR OTHERS...if Wells knew Butch is still liable?

 

[SandoVOL]

is it time for a #smearhaslam campaign? Mostly joking but word out of cleveland that they butched the jimmy garap trade. Browns and vols could be top bad press stories. Not good.

 

[1725gatorhater]

Already started...

Clock work. Around 8-9 we will be on our high.

Not an assumption.

The only 'reason' I have heard, and I apologize because it was offered by someone I cannot recall on one of the various radio shows I listened to yesterday and today, is that Currie feels like he got the reputation of a hatchet man over what went down with Fulmer and he is going the extra mile to let Butch exit gracefully in a effort to rehab that image.

 

[cbbowlingmd]

Dart Fartsmith runs a tight ship. I can see the inflatulation with him

Well done.

"We would never ever knowingly put a student-athlete in harm's way," Jones said, per Fox Sports Knoxville. "I have absolutely no say in these decisions."

This is Butch's quote from the SI article. I would think the head coach would have a big say and would see Kendrick stumbling around on the field and be forced to ask questions. I don't want Jones as our coach regardless of this situation, but I would have serious issues with ANY coach, the great Gruden included, who sees a player lethargic on the field and refuses to pull him from the game. He is either participating in risking the guys health or he is incompetent (I know, I know) in evaluating of his players.

 

[austin_vol]

Just when we thought it all couldn't get any worse.....it does.

Vols are seriously going to be bashed so much on Saturday sports shows this week. Hope Currie likes the PR that he has created.

Yikes!!!

 

[crparker21]

Clay is a very smart guy. I don't doubt he has the info.

He's also a douche that is an attention whore.

Contract violation if Wells or anyone on staff knew..doesn't matter if he was told...correct?

Well, unless this plays out the way most of us hope, he's gone from looking like a hatchet man to an incompetent goof...

This really sucks! He is a great guy. Met him several times at VFL events with my dad. Always took the time to say Hi and spend a few minutes chatting with me. He even spoke with me on the phone for a long time when they 1st started doing VFL events and I was trying to get my Dad involved. Maybe the new coach can get him back!
