Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVII

How the **** do you do that when you have a sitting coach? Just to clarify what it means is, he agreed to the terms 100% and agreed to move on to the next phase. That is 100%. The douches in charge will either **** it up or be looked at like heroes. That is how negotiations work. If you need some tips let me know.

It's so easy to spin things, isn't it.

Let's see, part of that 100% was Butch being fired after the USC game...didn't happen. Let's let him get his a$$ kicked vs Bama because he deserves it then fire him...didn't happen. OK, when he loses at UK that's when he'll be canned...NOPE!

Agreeing to move to the next phase isn't 100%. It's agreeing to move to the next phase. It sounds good, looks good, but it ain't done...YET!

Keep spinning !

from last nights may lay, from tos ...

point i was making is ... why is everybody (not pointing you out coasty, i mean seemingly everybody) so positive today? nothing makes sense.

what has transpired that's got everybody giddy?

i missed something, and i'm reading the posts trying to catch up, not wanting to be spoonfed, but would like a little help.

i feel like the short kid that can't reach the top shelf, always relying on somebody else to hand it to him. honestly, that's more frustrating to me than anything else (i know, sounds like a personal problem).

i thought in the BOT meeting when they voted to do the renovations, they did so based upon the $ the centennial group (ergen and boosters) were pledging, with the caveat that if they didn't get gruden, they'd pull the $, meaning we get gruden.

then last night, mud starts hitting the wall, everybody was down like no deal, haslam won, and i'm like, what in the world happened.

then this morning, there was a meeting, swain knows, ect ect.

i'm really trying to keep up, but i cannot.
somebody help me fill in the gaps.
what am i missing.

ps-and i'm not freaking out.


I think people are freaking out over things that may or may NOT mean anything.... I pointed this out earlier today... Take nothing as fact (there is ZERO FACTS here)

Read these posts as a whole and make up your own mind what YOU think... that is my best advice... I have NOT raised my expectation nor lowered them from yesterday afternoon.... When I lowered them yesterday it was not based on ONE thing, but several...

I suggest you don't try to do an analysis of the text (nothing here is scripture) but rather a fly over or overview of the entire thread ... JMHO

I have still not seen anything from LWS that indicated he had become positive

Don't worry someone will be along shortly to belittle you because you can't read between the lines or interpret what the "clear" meaning is from some obscure tweet or post.

I love how people have all this great info, type 2-3 paragraphs of nonsense, and this place blows up.

Welcome brother, to the dark side

I know Boro. We all have our no.2s. That's the problem they can't be trusted to make the right hire.

That's just it....as a fan, I'm no longer willing to settle. We've done this enough.

Impress me, or I won't be back until you finally do.

38 Days: How Alabama Pulled off the Great Heist of Nick Saban

This is a pretty good read, and shows that even Moore had problems getting Saban there, even publicly had problems.

I'm not saying Currie is doing the same thing, but it seems to me that he is somewhat trying to take the Moore approach after reading it and looking at what all Currie has/hasn't done so far

This right here almost brought tears to my eyes.

"Inside the car, Mal phoned Chuck with the terrific news. “We got him!” Mal exclaimed."

I just want that feeling with Tennessee football.

This whole thread is getting trolled... Freak has hired people to get us riled up and get traffic and clicks.

I thought this was obvious?

Ainge just said on his show he is hearing several of our larger booster ("Name on the building type" and those are his words) are telling Currie before we donate we need to see that you (Currie) are committed to winning with the next hire.

This is pretty out of character for Ainge.

He also did say Grudemonium is like a pink cloud haha......But I thought his comments on boosters were pretty interesting. Especially with what we believe happened yesterday.

wait, wait ...



maybe i'm trying to hard ...
contextually, swain, haynesworth, and other vfl's were pleased this morning.

My God man. No need to be a smart*** just because I mistyped something. So sorry you saw my information and thought it was gospel and sorry I’m not God and that I make mistakes.

If you've stayed here a while, Butch has been all but gone since Georgia. I mean, not even "insiders" are needed there, that's when the recruiting (of a top 10 class) completely halted.

I think in general the ups and downs in this group roughly follow the ups and downs that fall out in the media. That's why there's at least some stock taken in the "insiders" information.

I don't think anyone is taking 100% in the mythical "Beaver" For one thing the way he talks about "smoking premium cigars" and "drinking fine scotch" sounds like a cartoonish McDuck type. For most of us it's more just fun knowing he full and well could be a troll and rolling with it. Because frankly there's nothing else fun about UT football right now except the coach search.

Soon!

well, i'm caught up and i still don't know anything.
those who know are sharing.

we assume there was a meeting.
vfls are happy this morning, oh wait, that was 2 weeks ago.

i'm not being a jerk worthy of making the list or anything, but ... i just don't see it.
i want gruden as much as anybody else on this board, but outside of a very few posters, all we have is assumptions and speculations. and they are so varied, most of the time they don't even line up.

i've got some things to do this weekend that will keep me from being here.
maybe that's a good thing for me.

nothing makes sense ... and just when you think it does ... well, something else, and now it doesn't anymore. i know it's fluid, but i can't keep up.

see y'all later (sunday or monday).
if we hire gruden, somebody call me or something.
:)

Now your adding things other people stated. Keep spinning your wheels, as you stated, and for your agenda.
