Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVI

[DuckRiverVol]

No insider info. The closest I have had to insider info was during the last coaching search and that person just worked in the media department. Even reading all of these threads the past 2 coaching searches and knowing what have I seen at games the last 6 or 7 years, I did not realize just how far we have fallen. The other night, we took our son to the Voloween at the Anderson Training Center and things came to light. I hadn’t really payed attention that our last SEC championship came in 1998 and even winning the east hasn’t been accomplished since 2007. I know others know this and may have mentioned it, but it just hit me the other night just how important this decision. I want my son to be able to see a winning SEC caliber Tennessee team and not the MAC type that has been played the past 7 years or so. With that being said, I’m going to keep that faith and just say SOON!!

Agreed.
And many other people are tired of it as well...
And some very powerful people are working to get us back to prominence as we speak.

Hart crawfished on the deal. Whether it was money, control, or just not wanting to look like he could be told what to do...he backed out, and Botched everything up.

What about the Browns?

 

[Hawkpilot]

The boosters have offered to pay the buyout...
That money is not an issue.

Interim?

 

[tastycar]

That dude is so thirsty for attention.

Either that or he is beyond frustrated at what happened to his son while at UT. The punk kid/ entitled kid narrative was too strong at the time. In retrospect, I think the Hurd situation was mishandled from the start.

Jalen Hurd's stepfather weighs in on Butch Jones concussion controversy

Did the family or Jalen come out publicly contradicting Butch's story at the time?

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

Do you hav any recommendations on eating?

You should do it

I used to go all the time. Same week every year. We would see the same people Everytime. Everyone was wearing rainbow attire. It was very strange. We quit going, really felt out of place.

My wife scheduled that same week the last time we went years ago. I made sure not to make that same mistake again. Lol

He needs his own reality show so I can not watch it.

Would be more appropriate for Jones and the load of sh$$ he has piled on the hill over the last 4 plus seasons

 

[Wild @s a Mink]

Interim?

I thought an interim is exactly what they were trying to avoid....

 

[Hawkpilot]

?

I know it's not an Agatha Christie thriller like yours, but what did I miss here?

I'm good..chili was spicy..that wasn't code either

 

[Coastypop]

$10 million...
Any other coach now offered will want that.
Also boosters are letting everyone know that they are all in on Gruden.

Butch's deal is done...
He can leave. NOW.

Kendrick deal...
We said NOW.

Boosters forcing a "Gruden or Bust" mentality :rock:

 

[FloridaSucks]

i already made up my mind that all that typing quote box stuff is too much trouble. that guy can avoid eye cancer by skipping my quoted quote or putting me on his own list.

eye hope he don't do that tho.

Have mercy Preacher, don’t give us all eye cancer!

 

[AllVolinGA]

This is how I feel about this thread right now.....

 

[advancedrescue27]

Thoughts?

I would think his chance to go to Florida would be stronger than UT given his past there

 

[DuckRiverVol]

Thoughts?

Wouldn't surprise me in the least...

Sexton represents BJ, JM, and Mullen.

He has nothing to gain whatsoever if UT hires Gruden.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Do you hav any recommendations on eating?

What kind of food do you like? How pricey? You have kids? If you have kids, the character dining is great, depending on what characters they are into.

In more ways than one. You've heard MIT and Beav.

 

[Booker512]

Then why not Mullen to Florida?

Mississippi states old athletic director went to Florida....
Mullen was under Urban Meyer...recruited Tebow...
Would be pretty easy to get that deal signed.

 

[Hawkpilot]

Just my analysis...
This entire ordeal is about leverage.

I can't help but feel there will be a new set of powers when this is all said and done.

I can guarantee that if Gruden is UT's coach after this season, different people will be pulling the strings from the booster side of things.

It would be a long time coming

 

[DuckRiverVol]

I thought an interim is exactly what they were trying to avoid....

People are confusing "they" entirely too much in this process.

One should not assume that the boosters and the AD are working together currently.

 

[BogeyVol]

It would be a long time coming

Would not have wanted to be on the receiving end of that... hmy:

 

[SobeVol]

I'm good..chili was spicy..that wasn't code either

But was there cheese on it?!
Soon

 

[Poppa T]

Ouch. Thems fighting words....

Not to take away any e-cred from all the GIFers on here, but I would like to nominate SQUINTS as the official GIF Master for the Gruden threads.

'Ohana, hands down.

Who is this Trey Wallace guy? Wannabe media?
