Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVI

[LakeMaryFLVol]

And Beaver saying Currie will come out looking like a hero, he's right if he stands up to Haslam.

And move the AD back to under the President

 

[Squints]

Whats the word today?? Everybody seems calm..is it roller coaster time yet?

Check back when the union mandated breaks commence at 15:00.

Quote of the day.

The BOT meeting isn't the only meeting taking place this week.

And Bubba followed it up with this. Also relevant.

Oh captain my captain!! :salute:

This is how I’m reading it. To the majority of people, it will be a boring meeting. But I bet you a dime to a dollar that there will be or has been a meeting today of helicopter ****s to settle this once and for all. So the votes that we actually see and hear at the meeting are as a result of the meeting we know nothing about that may have already happened last night or this am. Make sense?

Definitely!

 

[preacherwebb]

Yes it is public. I don't expect to hear anything until after Saturday, if even then.

how can this be? if it's public, and they vote on something this big, how can they POSSIBLY keep it secret? not doubting you, i just don't understand.

but, again, this lines up with the scenario i threw out earlier about the events of this week.

EDIT: nevermind ... been answered. thanks. :hi:

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Frost to UF may be a done deal. If we don’t get a home run coach, Gruden or otherwise I’m done with UT sports. It’s becoming a waste of time and money.

I don't think Buc-ees are franchised. They are moving outside of Texas next year into Florida and either Alabama or Louisiana. Someday they'll be in Tennessee. Maybe send their corporate the story of MIT_Beaver and Volnugs and they will want to capitalize on the publicity and get to Tennessee sooner!

Privately owned. And better for it I think.

Aren’t Ergen and PM a part of the ‘Beans?

 

['Boro-vol]

It is BS. Gruden bought a house in Lyon's View, but it is NOT Haslam's.

Not sure anybody said that is the one he bought for sure. I was only told he looked at it....anything else that was said was speculation.

That is how the majority of large scale important meeting of committees and gov agencies go. Things are discussed long before you get to the table and rarely does the vote sways or surprises come, usually goes just like it should.

UT Board of Trustees – The governing body of the University of Tennessee System

Board of Trustees Meeting - November 2017

Enjoy

Thank you.

But if the meeting is public, why is everyone talking about it in this board? I got the impression that many in here were waiting for some big news after this meeting. But the meeting isn’t behind closed doors? I’m lost I guess

Legit

 

[VFLnSFD]

Are you saying 85% of the boosters ?

The 85% that the Beav is representing.

 

[preacherwebb]

I may have misunderstood the question. I do not think the vote today will be overtly Gruden or no. It will be renovations or no. We will get the Gruden announcement later.

check.
thanks.

they vote yes on renovations then seems to indicate they accept the ergen/gruden deal, from whence comes the money. correct?

Maybe send their corporate the story of MIT_Beaver and Volnugs and they will want to capitalize on the publicity (their famous Beaver Nuggets) and get to Tennessee sooner!

Didn’t realize that they weren’t franchised....ah, just as well....I’m waaaaaay to risk averse in my personal life to try something like that. but I think you’re on to something with that great marketing idea with Beaver and nugs!

 

[DuckRiverVol]

And move the AD back to under the President

Hopefully

 

[VFLnSFD]

Ok if I am piecing things together...there is no way that the BOT would vote to approve a massive renovation project with the threats of boosters pulling their money...so a yes vote would probably mean they feel safe that the large donations will be there...meaning that the majority of boosters will be happy.....meaning probably SOON???

Yes. Exactly.

He has not tweeted that. Probably a fake account
