Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVIII

[SmokeyLives]

We are a laughing stock over on ESPN:

:crazy: unbelievably, in the presser, CBJ said the Vols D dominated an explosive Southern Miss team. :thud:

Knoxville media in the presser, as usual, asking the tough questions.....NOT. Butch was his usual self appointed super hero.....

 

[Coastypop]

After 2012, I won't be 100% until he gets to the podium.

Me to... I learned my lesson the hard way

 

[VolFootballIsLife]

I agree a lack of talent is certainly not our issue but a lack of coaching ...

I agree. At this point, a lack of big play capability from this offensive scheme is concerning. Can’t nickel and dime your way down the field and expect perfection.

 

[Vfl2407]

i don't remember doing it but at some point i must've signed a memorandum of disappointment and confusion

:lolabove::lolabove:
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

The first time any of us ever stepped foot into Neyland and watched our glorious Orange clad warriors, we gave away parts of our Hearts.
The school has rewarded us with too many MOU’s:
Moments Of Underachievement

 

[UTSuave’]

Should we have? They were 4 pt dogs and we beat them by 14 WITH A 3RD STRING QB and backup O tackles. Shame on the team for such play.

Who in the world is celebrating like we beat Bama?!? So much disingeniousness, you must be trolling. We are just happy FOR THE TEAM. They were happy. It is sad you cant find joy in small things too. Hope you learn this life lesson. Many do not until they are very old and finally "wise".

Enjoy every game. Enjoy every win. Let the stress be on the coaches and team. As fans of this form of entertainment...enjoy.

What's the latest coasty?

 

[Devo182]

You are probably correct. With that said, it's not a popular opinion to post on this thread. But at least, it's not the same people coming on here after EVERY game saying they have intel that he's gone. Gruden IS coming, that's all that matters!

Agreed. Dont get the obsession over the firing. Its all about the hiring. Nothing we can do as fans, so why worry over it? Just keep eating them Grude-nugs. Chomp chomp chomp mmm nugs!

 

[Coastypop]

exactly but ask you to consider placing your meter to 50% the MOU has been signed just for chits and grins

Sorry my friend .... it is a lot closer to 3% than 50%

I don't know your age or your marital status, but imagine you are dating a girl who is okay. She's fine for now, but you don't want to date her forever. Then the girl of your dreams wanders into your life. You may have already made some commitments that need to be dealt with concerning the girl who was okay (prom, her sister's wedding, etc.) But it doesn't mean anything anymore. You have almost forgotten about her entirely because you know your life is about to change. She and the breaking up with her become completely inconsequential.

I am glad I am not your husband ost-4-1090547912:ost-4-1090547912:

 

[0nelilreb]

How many recruits were at Homecomming ?

Wow. Why?

 

[Devo182]

Guys say it with me... “Butch Jones isn’t coming back next year even if we win out by an average margin of 40.”

It’s so over. He wouldn’t even come back if they asked. How do you guys sleep at night worrying this much over non-existent things?

Lmao this. People are paranoid af. Stop doing meth, yall.

 

[Silky_Johnson]

Sorry my friend .... it is a lot closer to 3% than 50%

Get up on out of here with my eye holes

 

[Sstterry]

Wow. Why?

Your analogy to relationship commitments...just joking btw

Did your kids enjoy the game?

Well, not to get personal, but that isn't me. I haven't dated just a 'fine for now' person in a long time.

I'm sure everyone has done the eh dating, but I reached a certain point where I said eff this. It became taxing, being around someone that didn't really fulfill me in some way.

Maybe they weren't smart enough or maybe they weren't inherently kind or get my jokes.

I pretty much got to a point that if someone didn't really INTEREST me, then I didn't bother.

Holding out worked out. Couldn't be happier and couldn't imagine being with anyone else.

So...I understand what you're saying, but from the beginning, at least for me, Butch was never fine for now. But, I would love to get to the point where his presence didn't bother me.

That being said, let's hope for 'Omg I need sunglasses every second' brighter days. You say they're coming. I want to believe 😁

I was talking about dating not marriage. Hahaha

They had a great time! Thanks for asking!

 

[Devo182]

Our offense was a mess before the So.Miss game. With the injuries from that game, it's even more of a disaster. Our defense won this game for us by shutting down their offense and generating 2 turnovers deep in their territory that gave us two TD's that allowed our offense to play 3 runs and a punt the rest of the game. Our offense "generated" 210 total yards against a non-SEC team.

We are 0-5 in the SEC and travel to Missouri, whose offense is lighting people up. Our defense will not be able to shut them down with our offense keeping our defense on the field in a bad position for the majority of plays.

After that our AD will be very hard pressed to keep silent on Butch's future at UT, particularly with all the recent Grumours of a signed agreement.

Can you even imagine the crescendo after a loss, again, to Vandy?

Circumstance is pointing to change and soon, my brothers and sisters.

I believe we put up 440 yds on UK. JG is warming up, but yes ol sucks and is banged up. All is not lost. Mizzou and vandy very winnable. Not better than usc and uk thats for sure.

 

[Devo182]

Curious - where did all this MOU talk start? VN? Twitter? Tos?

Making decisions that are best for the future vs emotional ties based on the fact the person getting the ax isn’t a “bad” person. Many people struggle with this. If you’re timid, you risk losing total bliss. Most likely Currie doesn’t have that emotional tie..

Butch Jones keeps spoon feeding us more lies

 

[lilesrt]

Randy Shannon getting blown out by 40 is another reason why CBJ finishes the season. Let’s just hope John Currie has already started the replacement process.

They were 4 point dogs based on this crappy season.... and yes we should have beat them like a drum.... because we are NOT a CUSA team..... We are Tennessee... you celebrate what you want to.... that is up to you.... but I have seen enough to KNOW we no longer know how to win.... That is a disgrace... imho

You are the one that said I was a snowflake... I just wanted to make sure that you understand that I have been around this team sense 1964... and I never saw so many people accepting mediocracy as acceptable in all these years... by the way... I didn't start out as a Vol fan... so maybe that will give you hint to my age

O and thank you for the life advice... I will certainly take is as free and accept it at its value

 

[volfan1631]

He emphasized the word MAY a couple of times

Floyd MAYweather is going to be our coach?

You are new here aren't you???

 

[VOLout8]

We are gonna get blown out next week with our head coach. If I was an assistant I wouldn’t take the interim tag and get my name wrecked because I got slapped for 3 games with a team I didn’t build.
