Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVI

[jmcdan15]

Is this why Beavers location on Twitter was Mount Everest?

Jk probably nothing lol.m

Ergen is an avid mountain climber who has climbed Mount Everest. From Forbes

Something that keeps popping up in my head that a poster responded to me I think yesterday...
I mentioned boosters being mad because of the last coaching hire, and he brought up the last AD hire.

I feel like Currie getting the job was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Apparently enough boosters were pissed that they swapped sides after this.

Exactly

 

[orange parmejohn]

I think it's the other way around. Haslam opposes Gruden because he opposes the other aspects of the deal that puts Gruden in place. Not about Gruden, he's a means to an end. The end is less control of UT by the Haslam's.

I can't see Gruden being willing to get in the middle if that war.

Your people? You make it sound like you engineers are a cult or something

We are so different from others. And most often ostracized for it.

 

[Squints]

I say we common fans have a Dish In/ Pilot Out protest.
We all go to the Pilot/Flying J headquarters.
We all have Big Dishes (biggest you have in your house and can easily hold up) and we form circles around Pilot J.
Also, have some signs....that can say:

There’s a new Sheriff at UT
Charlie Ergen Rocks.
Dish - yes/ Pilot- no
Haslams - we are over you.

* you guys I’m sure could come up with plenty.

Ah, what the he1!, it'll just end in a pishing match.

 

[SobeVol]

Then how come everybody wasn't screaming it after the game? If everybody watching saw it happening, why didn't anybody say anything?

interestingly the commentators during the game actually voiced that when he lined up off the ball that a player of his experience know better. So people who don't know him were questioning it, so why didn't our coaching staff?

 

[revjayp]

Wow! I don't even remember you questioning me, but that's awful nice of you to say.

Well, it was more of us discussing. Nothing nasty by any means. I just assumed he was here to help like any insider. You saw more. We’re cool!

 

[DuckRiverVol]

Or the other boosters are tired of Haslam's way leading us to mediocrity and are fed up with listening to him.

This.
All day.

From a woman's point of view, this is not a house Cindy Gruden would need to simply have a presence in Knoxville. This is a home for entertaining and being visible. As in Coach Gruden. Just sayin'.

that's an interesting take.
me likey!

I can't see Gruden being willing to get in the middle if that war.

Because he knows the war will be finished.

 

[Squints]

Your people? You make it sound like you engineers are a cult or something

We are :rock:

 

[SeanJean]

If any of this Ergen/Haslam stuff is true, which sure why not, it only further confirms what an absolute crap show this entire University and athletic department are. No wonder we've been toiling in obscurity for over a decade.

 

[jp1]

I can't see Gruden being willing to get in the middle if that war.

For a cool 10 million/year he probably would.

 

[daj2576]

I absolutely never guarantee victory. Unethical to do so.

I would absolutely take this case and would name the university, Jones and Wells. Might go after med staff as well depending on what I found out. I would feel pretty confident in the case, as well.

Under what theory?

Seems to me under straight negligence you’re going to have a hard time proving causation and any damages. For a lifetime football player, even if you can prove that he was absolutely concussed against Kentucky, and also made to play, what damage did that one injury cause that is recoverable?

If he has a severely damaged brain, that one injury didn’t cause it all, and how do you prove how much of that damage was caused by the single event? If he has a brain that doesn’t show any real damage, how do you prove damages at all?

Edit: important to note that we literally have very little verifiable information. Without that, as an attorney, I’m not even confident speculating. But, as you are, help me see what you see.

 

[volsfor4life]

If he's been staying at Haslam residence when staying in Knoxville why would Haslam want to block his hire?

That’s what I was wondering.

 

[volinSmyrna]

So is this where PM and Phil come in? Are they the ones trying to bridge the gap between the "old way" of doing things....Haslam with he "new direction" the other boosters might want to go? PM and Phil could be the ones that have the most weight and influence with Haslam to get him to coalesce behind this movement.

 

[FleeceItOut]

For a cool 10 million he probably would.

And a G5?

 

[DuckRiverVol]

We are so different from others. And most often ostracized for it.

I have no idea how your mind works...

But I'm glad it does.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

The Queen’s Grudometer is holding steady at 99.999%...

Have faith..what will be, will be..and that is Jon F’n Gruden is coming..no inside info just a feeling..

SOON

:shades::shades:

 

[rkvdg]

Here is another point in all of this. There is no love between Phil and big Jim.

 

[andywilson001]

I hate to point this out, but that house is still for sale.

Houses on Zillow aren't updated in real time. I just bought a house 2 months ago and it just now says "sale pending" on Zillow.

 

[stephp4ut]

My husband is from Houston. I had my first Buc-ee's experience in September. My life will never be the same. :thumbsup::yes:

 

[SmokinBob]

THIS!!! If I'm wrong I would be amazed!!

I don’t think you’re wrong.

 

[Kurtastrophe]

I can't see Gruden being willing to get in the middle if that war.

True. But, by that time, he won't be.

 

[orange parmejohn]

Because he knows the war will be finished.

And possibly an enemy of a very powerful family. This mess won't just clean up nice and pretty.
