People need to calm the eff down. Is it Dec. 20th today? Is Cade signing papers today? Let the process play out. Plenty of time to do what needs to be done.

No, this is on Butch and his lack of results........and on the dumbass Hart who hired him in the first place.

That may be, but Hart isn't the one in charge right now. I am madder now than I've ever been. Currie is a dumba** until he proves me wrong.

Butch has shown it's not just about injuries....

Tell me, even with healthy players, do you see development?! I sure don't

What has he done to show you he's that smart?

The point is, he appears to be doing nothing but letting Jones keep his job in hopes of a bowl so he can keep him.

No rumors of other coaches, nothing. Also the past ten years would lead us to the conclusion that nothing has changed with this administration and we'll get another google type hire

Okay I’ll play along. Currie himself is a change to the administration. He brought Phil back. And of course we want a bowl! These kids need all the practice they can get. The new coach would have some time to get to know the kids. And the moment that’s not possible, he’s gone. I swear, this constant climbing on the ledge every time you hear something negative is getting old.

Reading between the lines of the Mays story, he said this decision was made weeks ago and he informed the coaches then. Could it be that he was told Butch wouldn't be returning at that time? Maybe he's going public now because something is happening soon? I don't know, I'm just looking for positives.

I had really started cautiously getting some buy in to The Gruden, however today with Hubbs info and Mays decommitt I am starting to think not only no Gruden but we are in complete disarray. Why in the world would he be reaching out trying to get another year? Obviously there is a communication gap somewhere. This is simply too out there to be a masterful chess move...I'm on the ledge here it's so frustrating

I really really hope Mays doesn't go to UGA. It's one thing for him to not play for UT, but playing against us for 3-4 would hurt like heck as CPF would say. I'd rather him go to Clemson instead of UGA or Bama. He has been tweeting a lot about UGA lately though... and the do have one of the best offensive line coaches in the game. This sucks.

Basilio also saying that Jones is trying to rally support from Boosters for the 2018 season.

If any booster even entertained this garbage that booster(s) should be tarred and feathered. Are our Big $$$ Boosters and Ath Dept this inept?

The 2 that I know have said no they will not support him. That is what they have relayed to him. They give quite a bit as well.

The Grude News, the morning edition. For those just joining us...

Man, what a 24 hours it's been. From highs to lows and back to highs again. If a designer could mimic Volnation's emotions into a roller coaster, it'd be the greatest in the world. Gruden would call it "wild, man. Just wild."

And the Gruden threads were moving faster than his betting line. Kind of hard to keep up, but that's why you are reading this, right?

Speaking of keeping up, we have a request by some posters to limit the off topic talk in the thread so they can get updates instead of filtering through 500 posts of Daniela dancing, gifs, countless "Gruden to the Hill!" posts and discussing brake jobs on aircraft in Pensacola during the 60s.

But nah. That's what makes this thread so awesome.

Ron Swanson, highly respected poster, dropped a truth bombs in the RF yesterday with the whole "DeerPark doesn't know any more than the coaching search than I do" comment. I know DP has brought good info in the past, but so has RS. Conflicted! And you have DTO with his 100% comments from Saturday. It's quite a mess folks. Information is not coming out as we might expect.

However, there seems to be a lot more smoke surrounding this hunt at the moment since more and more sportswriters and talking heads are picking up the Grumors stories. Even Paul Finebaum set down his life sized Nick Saban yard gnome for a moment and commented the rumors might have merit. Grumors are starting to reach national level attention, but no denials from either the Man himself or UT Athletics.

And no news is good news on that front.

But, apparently Barrett Sallee thinks Dan Mullen will be the next coach at UT. Not long after doing that little segment, he ended up with all sorts of flaming paper bags on his porch. However, being as nice as UT fans are, they drew smiley faces on them first.

Sallee made a public statement afterwards he was in the market for a new pair of boots.

SmokeyHuntsGators learned how to correctly apply spoiler tags last night. And in doing so, masked the traditional "Soon!" she loves posting.

Not really a spoiler when we know the ending, girlfriend.

And PreacherWebb also giggled while vowing to use said tags in at least the next 500 or so posts.

It was determined Nagle isn't a very good drunk poster. Ape vows to give him lessons in clarity.

Actually, it seems like more than a few posters were imbibing last night. Which happened to include yours truly getting a wink from an intoxicated poster...don't know if it's a girl or a guy. Freak, we really need gender tags.

And I'm still waiting on that Volnation Guru tag like you promised. Okay, Volly promised, but she represents you by proxy, so cough it up.

Trolls continue to invade, continue to get put on ignore and continue to get at least 15 GTFO's per post. However, look for them to be first in line after Gruden is announced with "I believed it all along." Of course, Fade will be crying while stroking his Fathead poster of Dan Mullen, but he'll come around eventually. Not exactly news there, but that's what we call "B Roll" in this line of business. Get used to it or GTFO, trolls.

3 days and a wake up until Doyle's trash pick up. But even if he throws out his old Grudometer, he'll eventually get the upgraded model that goes to 11.

In other news today, rumor has it the Gruden clan is getting together to possibly discuss Jon's move back into coaching. VolNation Enterprises Division of Sneaky Folks and Learning Secret Stuff has been put into action to potentially put said meeting under surveillance. However, the first day of training didn't go so well as Coasty got cranky after not having his morning prune juice and went on emotional roller coaster rides. Faceless got distracted while running into radio stations yelling "we're infiltrating the Gruden's party! How cool is that? And did you see that hot guy out front by the way?" Power T Rev got in trouble with the instructors after yelling "GTFO!" at them. Also, training was paused while instructors attempted to find a translator, but ultimately figured out nobody else spoke Ape.

Ads for replacements will be sent out on Craigslist later today according to sources.

From the entire Volnation News Team, I'm Grand Vol and human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

Looks like it's time for me to leave until everyone gets their emotions back on the upswing. What time does the staff give out the anti-depressants? I'll check back in then.

This! It was a good bet JG wasn't going to be able to finish the game.. Chizik of all people shouldn't be criticizing anyone..
If it wasn't for Cam, he wouldn't have won anything..

Firing butch at this point solves nothing if we’re waiting on Gruden’s timeline. Team doesn’t look like they’ve quit. They will if we fire him imo. Look at Florida.

I’m not convinced the kids would quit. If you were in their shoes and knew who the new coach would be, wouldn’t you use your time on the field as an audition?

I know for a FACT - that if Butch Jones is not fired or resigns, Cade Mays is gone. Period. He will not play for Butch.

If we were going to go interim it would have happened after Kentucky. I thought we might, but the coaching staff is just as divided and would not have helped. This is on the timeline for the people that matter the most, not us on the message board. There will be plenty of time for flaming them if it doesn't get done right, in the meantime I think everyone needs to let it play out before going nuts. But this is what smokescreens are meant for and it's a good one. SOON ENOUGH!!!!!! GRUDEN TO THE HILL!
