Official Jon Gruden Thread 30

Not open for further replies.
Cool little tidbit of conversation I was involved in today, not an insider by any means and don’t “know people” . Just for a little background I work for my father in laws large scale graphics and printing company here in south florida, we have done work for all the major universities in the state as well as the Marlins, panthers etc..

Anyways I was invited to lunch with him and a business associate who went to and is well connected with UCLA athletic program. As The convo shifted to non business he was showing pictures to us on the sideline from the crazy A&M game they had this season , after listening to him talk and “puff his chest” for the majority of lunch i figure this guy was legit guy wit some info.

My father in law mentioned to him I was a diehard Vol fan and with no hesitation his response was “man o man I’m jealous of you guys” I said why’s that and He said “ I just spoke with my buddy in the AD last week about the plans if we move past Mora and they told him Kelly was the main target but Gruden was off the table because he was taking the Tennessee job at the end of the season” .

Needless to say I was pretty shocked for the rest of the lunch and have been lurking in the thread from it’s inception. The guy could just be blowing smoke but thought it would be some cool info to pass along with the rest of the smoke going on around here , a classic volnation “cool story bro moment” Go Vols!

Portland is amazing. My background before law was restaurant management (chef). This is the best food city I've ever been in, the City included.

I worked in restaurant management for a long time as well before getting into the wine industry. I have little experience with the Portland dining scene, but that is high praise. We tend to spend more time in Willamette Valley than Portland when we are up there.
 
Wow. Can you get me a job as Athletic Director? There's something I need to take care of real quick.

"And once this crisis is averted, and Butch is fired, I promise to lay down my powers...okay maybe after Gruden is hired...I then promise to lay down my powers..."

To each his own. I drink it both ways.

If I go with ice, I use one medium sized cube with filtered water.

I’m just teasing I will not turn down good whiskey with out without ice . Don’t want to be rude lol
 
Speaking of the MNF trucks, what a great job to land if you drive I bet. I remember reading an article for all of the stuff that goes into MNF from all of the trucks to how much stuff they haul. Pack up on Tuesdays and hit the road again.
 
Have to say Beav definitely doesn't come across as a troll.
Question for Beave. A fellow poster claims to have had dinner with your sister in Chatt. So do you have a sister in that area?

Another case of mistaken identity, I only have brothers. I have received a lot of PM’s with people thinking they know who I am and so far all have been wrong. I really hope that others stop trying to dox me, keeping my anonymity is important to the work I am trying to do for Tennessee.
