Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVI

['Boro-vol]

I was just wondering how you got that pic of McDad.

Hahahahaha!

 

[SobeVol]

That is how I picture him

After the whole Everest thing, I see the Dish King and Beaver as the relationship from "Bucket List" with Jack Nicholson and his personal Beatch.

I hope Beav can keep everything in play!

 

[james_govols]

Gundy??

So Fleck most likely.

 

[BearCat204]

Only thing Gruden has said is that he will never coach college.

Could you link where Gruden ever said that? I have never seen it.

 

[Vol-in-Bham]

Decisions...

...get back to work...

or... feelings...

or... La Résistance!

link to where this was Gruden's statement and not the writers opinion

 

['Boro-vol]

Gundy??

I don't know....but OK St. Is definitely not in the Big 10.

When did he say this. Sounds like some more of that ol horses sheeeit.

 

[DuckRiverVol]

Atlanta also said he wouldn't be back until he knew it was done, but wouldn't tell us. Him being back may mean it's done??? Lulz, grasping at straws.

I will take it.

 

[1725gatorhater]

I may be just a causal fan and stop donating if Haslam screws us over again. He has no common sense at all example look at Tennessee last 10 years and Browns... they both suck because of his decisions.

 

[Coastypop]

So Fleck most likely.

If it were not for jumping to conclusions some of you would never get any exercise

 

[landscapingvol]

Who really knows, he's 86 years old. Some old men make the ladies working at Hardee's life hard. He just has a bigger stage.

Umm he played for Neyland

 

[OSVolFan]

I don't see that it does. He even admits it could be disinformation....we've been told that would happen.

We don't know any more or less than we did....so why the meltdown?

Oh, not melting down. Just casually observing what all has been mentioned in the last 160+k posts and combining that with AV's last post. Just seems to go against that, unless it's misdirection.

I will say I am beginning to become a little fatigued from following this for the last month......and my work has definitely suffered. lol

Just like everyone else(except for the 41% morons down in Chattanooga) , I am simply ready for Butch to be gone and to have a new coach.

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

I don't know....but OK St. Is definitely not in the Big 10.

Gosh missed the 10 part lol. I mean it’s an honest mistake considering there are only 10 teams in the Big 12 nowadays and 14 I the big 10 lol

 

[Volwark]

Atlanta said if he found out Gruden was the coach 100% he wouldn’t come back and share it because it wasn’t his place. His absence/presence is not indicative of Gruden being coach or not.

This

And other names getting floated out there does not mean the Gruden deal is dead, or even that its a smokescreen. It's just due diligence in case Gruden falls thru.

 

[FleeceItOut]

Only thing Gruden has said is that he will never coach college.

I’m talking about behind closed doors.

Say UT approached Gruden and he agreed in principle to be the next coach, but Haslam came along and tried to torpedo the deal so that Gruden would coach Cleveland.

In that situation Gruden has the power. He could easily let Haslam know it’s UT or nothing, or if he wanted to take it a step further he could say “if you stand in the way of me coachING UT, not only will I not coach Cleveland but I will go to another NFL team, and let everyone in Tennessee know that you are the reason I’m not their coach.”

 

[Squints]

Engineers are a different breed, but they are incredibly smart with unique humor.

I've always been a fangirl of them.

EE here. I swear I'm not an introvert.

 

[BJWeeks]

If they screw this up then they need to remove entire upper deck from Neyland Stadium to cut capacity in half. I will not attend any games and I'm sure everyone on here will not either if they hired a PJ Fleck or some other crap. Enough is enough.

 

[lateknight]

If it can't be Gruden then I'll take Mike Tomlin for the win.

 

[InVOLuntary]

He changed his mind based off of what exactly?? He may have changed his mind on paying for the buyout but I doubt he had epiphany on Jones somehow suddenly becoming the answer to UT's struggles considering Jones created them.

He got cold feet at the last minute. He's gone but he keeps stringing it on.

 

[CABVOL]

Behind 8 pages while getting to my deer stand. Dang it! At least I can read in peace without getting the death stare from the wife.

GBO!

 

[Grand Vol]

I know and I agree. I just couldn’t and still can’t wrap my head around why Haslam would care so much about a coaching hire/power that if he isn’t brokering the deal (even if it’s the best deal) he would rather sabotage it and make a lesser one.

Which brings us back around to the ego portion of my original comments.

 

[CoachClick]

if it can't be gruden then i'll take mike tomlin for the win.

noooooo ty

 

[BeecherVol]

Davenport is the chancellor not the president.

At Tennessee?
