Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVII

[Boca Vol]

Swain.... "John Currie has a long term hire plan... I am happy today because there are some great coaches interested in this job... There is some information that I have been exposed to that makes me happy"

Some snippets from His show

Great! More, "I have great news but I can't tell you what it is." stuff.

Sounds like the typical insider around here.

So is currie following the beaver? He won't see the tweets unless he is per twitter faq:

I wasn't posting for any reason except someone asked what they were... I am on tweeter but don't understand anything about it ...lol

Said he would not say who he wants out of respect for the coaches but Currie has a list

 

[Chatt Vol]

Driving through K-town. Where can I stop and see The new (soon to be) coach.

 

[RagingOrange]

I know what it's like to sit in the stands and watch your kid compete. I never take my eyes off of him. If that had been my kid stumbling around, lining up wrong, and holding the sides of his helmet, it would have taken Trooper Squarejaw and several of his buddies to keep me from coming at Butch Jones like a spider-monkey on the sideline.

Damn skippy

 

[DuckRiverVol]

Or could be like Hart and doesn't want to be told to hire Gruden.

I thought the same thing for years...
But Hart had to have powerful backing to go against the majority of the boosters.
There is only one person left to back Currie.

So all this talk about dealings with Gruden were all false?

My son is in the 6th grade and I’ve seen him get hurt. Freaks me out. I can’t even imagine if I’d seen my son rattled like Kendrick. Forget me, his mom may have stabbed butch multiple times if she’d seen it.

 

[TCDuckman23]

Think his list is as long as preachers list??

 

[Coastypop]

I have no doubt that they are the obstacles.

Just like 2012.
We had posters popping in and out with nuggets then as well. No idea what the end game is in that. One would guess some type of fan support.

Haslam is the obstacle, and he brought Currie in. They are obviously trying to find a coach other than Gruden. Just like last time with Hart, hence the rumors yesterday.

My best guess is that in the meetings held last night, and possibly through the game tomorrow, Haslam is being made aware of the other sides position.
Apparently the rest of the boosters are backing Ergen, and he has the academic side locked up, as well as fan support.
I don't think we truly know anything until after the game tomorrow.

I hope some good news comes out then... but I am not holding my breath ... I am more of the thought now that nothing happens till end of season...

 

[Boca Vol]

Said he would not say who he wants out of respect for the coaches but Currie has a list

But Gruden was a done deal weeks ago. Why does he need a list?

 

[Coastypop]

Not even close....lol

 

[Wild @s a Mink]

So all this talk about dealings with Gruden were all false?

No, I don’t think any of the Gruden to TN talk is false at all. It seems that there may be a smokescreen put out while Currie deals with this mess regarding Butch. I believe that Gruden has always been first on the list.

 

[BearCat204]

Even with no Gruden, if we can make a great hire I will be happy. There are a few candidates out there that fit that.

 

[UTVolinExile]

As a reminder: Jack's character ordered the code red specifically be carried out on the soldier

I don't want to strain the analogy to our team, but I DO think it's likely that we set up an unspoken system that did not fulfill the intent of the written policy.

 

[vollygirl]

I think he'd do anything humanly possible to preserve the persona he's worked so hard to build....not his job, but the narrative he wants to portray. It's really all he's got, his most valuable commodity to sell, and it's now taking hit after hit. I believe he didn't want to be here for the KY game....he knew it would be a loss. Losing to KY as the HFCAUTK pretty much cements your legacy. If he thought having Kendrick out there missing a limb would help him win, he would have done it.

No he wouldn't have.

 

[Coastypop]

But Gruden was a done deal weeks ago. Why does he need a list?

Currie does NOT want Gruden... imho, it is the Boosters, we will see who win... the Boosters won when it was J Majors... but time will tell

PS/ I have NEVER said that Gruden was a DONE deal but just the opposite

 

[vollygirl]

Trapped in an escape room with Doyle, Ape and Coasty?

And you, right? It's okay if you're there. That's only five. Need one more.

 

[Wild @s a Mink]

I could be happy with some of those other names but I really think JG is the home run hire we need.

 

[VonVol]

When they do, they are ridiculed and called trolls and their information is mocked.... They get worn down and tired of the constant bombardment... Anyone would...

Boro will not post what he knows because of it, DTO left because of it.... OldVol remains non committed because of it and even when RocktopSC posted some very good information the other day from himself and other boosters, he was ridiculed for posting a screenshot of his conversation and called made fun of for spelling errors..

I DON'T BLAME THEM for being absent

I did question the spelling of Haslam in Rocktops post. It just seemed odd that two connected people couldn't get a very powerful name right. It wasn't like there and their were switched. I wasn't fully and still aren't fully aware of what his connection to the AD is. It just seemed odd to me at the time. I didn't think I did it an offensive way and certainly didn't accuse anyone of trolling. I apologize 100% to him personally and anyone else it may have rubbed the wrong way. That wasn't my intention at all.
