Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVII

[joevol33]

Kinda funny that you used the word heresy while poking fun in the Gruden thread.

Dang autocorrect, I meant Hershey. And I’m not poking fun, I’m poking at Behr, we play.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Thanks mine too. Good calm morning and can already hear some turkeys scratching around. Not much better than this IMO. Go Vols!

Willybird. Comes already plucked and smoked from California.

BabyVol:

I had to officially join the party before this weekend. Just been laying low and sharing intel with @ChattaVol06, @Hutch 7, and a few others. Didn’t want to miss out on some excitement soon

I was on gridscape for years. @Hutch 7 can confirm.

I’ll say this...... MITbeav is not who was outed but he is very connected.... we message daily.
I never said we would get DJ Humphries but I have missed on a few who changed their minds last minute. Trust the process guys....we are way closer than in 2012.

If you guys only knew how close it was last time....that’s the only thing that has me concerned this time. It’s why I won’t be quite so over the top. If it happens I will explain exactly what went down best I can. It’s been so interesting this time!!!

I will once it’s over....but trust me there is a process to the madness. There have been things in the works for close to 5 years now

I won’t go so far as to say a 5 year timeline but the overall story dates back to 5 years ago when certain boosters got blindsided. That started a plan to make sure it didn’t happen again. Quite a bit of time, money, and resources have went in to making sure we get our guy this go round. I don’t pretend I’ll ever know everything that has led up to our next coach getting hired.....but I know enough to trust the process

is the Chosen One in Knoxville this weekend?
He is within a short drive to Neyland Stadium.

Timeline for announcement?
Let’s get thru today and then I’ll answer
Fair enough.

Hopefully it doesn't depend on the outcome of the game?
Has absolutely nothing to do with the game

Bump for Ssterry

Not sure who you're talking about, I meant Babyvol.

You should. In last few weeks though that what you was referring too. Lot of newbies or trolls always starts long time lurker story with 3-5 paragraphs describing the know someone that knows something.

I brought the BabyVol info. I’m not a newbie. :hi:

BTW, we should all change our avatars in this thread to the Dish TV logo. We might start another movement.

Have a Grude one peeps. I’m out. SOON eace2:

 

[DougVol]

Just to change the subject..... Ha jk!

I posted this earlier, but it was the middle of the night and it does line up:

This is from another forum and there is no insider info claimed:

Take this with a grain of salt, but a friend has a source, who correctly predicted Barnes and our bowl a few days before it was public, and he says we have Gruden at 5 years 8 per. Again, this is an extreme reach, but he has not been wrong yet.

Also, JAV said:

The chances are as good as they will ever be;

Also this, again from another forum:

Not VQ. 3 different sources. Still low odds it happens.
In East Tennessee. Has absurd offer. Hasn't said no this whole time. Been negotiating. No one is opposed. Any statements that academics or other boosters are in the way are false.
Sorry to be vague, but back when everything went quiet in October, I was told to be quiet as well. I'll share this now because it seems we're to the point it no longer matters.
UT has pushed all the chips in. If it doesn't happen now it's because he folds and walks away.

It is my belief that everyone is now on the same page and the ball is in Gruden's court. If 8 is the number, then his annual salary will be higher than Saban's. He may have already accepted or turned it down, but the sudden silence from all sources certainly means something.

 

[Vfl2407]

I'm ergen you guys to just hang in there for a little longer. Go Vols!

I see what you did there. :lolabove:
Speaking of which, if Charlie pulls this off, he will become my new persona hero.
How does he pronounce his name?
Err-gun
Err-jenn
Err-gin
Ear-gun
Ear-jenn
Ear-gin

 

[ER Vol]

Anyone else seen a tweet from Adam Schefter about Gruden and Florida being close to a deal, possibly as soon as Monday? The tweet was texted to me, but I don't know how to copy it to this thread, I'm on mobile. I don't know if its a fake account for Adam or not, it appears to be the real account?

It's fake.

 

[VolFan4life24]

There are a lot of Orange leaves in these woods. Is it a sign?

 

[Behr]

Behr, my heresy bar I got at Ingles is made with fresh farm milk it says. A sign?

It confirms you don't know how to spell Hershey.

 

[joevol33]

It confirms you don't know how to spell Hershey.

I can’t argue with that.

 

[Grand Vol]

Good morning, all you beautiful people.

 

[Vol-in-Bham]

I love waking up in the morning with a Grudeon

 

[Pete Carpet]

Alot of people and most media don't feel Gruden to Tennessee a reality. I feel not because they don't think he will ,but more along the lines, why would he come to Tennessee. That mentality is killing us. Talk of winning percentage and past championships seems more like Saturday Night Live character something Smiley,but we are good enough stuff. Folks those wins and championships are reality. Facilities, money WE ARE a sleeping giant ready to return. I am all in with Gruden but if he doesn't come we still are Tennessee. Just need the right people to to bring us back where we SHOULD be. Relize that last sentence has been are problem but lets hope things have changed this time. Have a Grude Day. GO VOLS!

 

[gunner]

So if Gruden does indeed come to UT. I have some concerns.

1. Can he adapt to the college game?
2. He's been out coaching since 2009, has the game passed him by?
3. Does he fully understand the efforts needed to be successful in CFB and win at the level of Nick Saban. It will require 80 -100 hours of week of work during the season.
4. Can he beat Georgia, Florida, Alabama and the rest of the SEC on a regular basis?
5. Is he willing to deal with an overly zealous and rabid fan base that often have unrealistic expectations?

 

[joevol33]

Good morning, all you beautiful people.

Have fun last night?
