This is a better one. Definitely taller, but not that much.

well if butch had any inkling of a correct posture and quit slumping down, he would be a bit taller than Saban.

Interestingly enough, I called him to confirm some details for our trip and he said he had to cancel - he said he has to stay in Knoxville this weekend. He wouldn't tell me why and was super short.

Good news ** I now have 2 EXCELLENT seats for my wife and I to sit in to watch Butch Jones last game.

Hmmmm.... Wait. Did he sound happy or sad about this latest development?! You don't think he's been canned, do you?!

 

[BogeyVol]

This is a better one. Definitely taller, but not that much.

Yeah, that's a real one. :thumbsup:

 

['Boro-vol]

This is a better one. Definitely taller, but not that much.

...but with much smaller feet.

I swear Butch Jones wears a boys size 5. Littlest feet I've ever seen on a grown man.

Itty Bitty feets.

Trey Wallace about to be on 1180

 

[Godfatha]

Yeah, that's a real one. :thumbsup:

You don't see Saban wearing 6" platform shoes. They never show his shoes.

well I will say that we got Bama beat in the state trooper department compared to that weak chinned one pictured.

I texted him after we got off the phone and asked him whats up? He just shrugged off the notion and said a few members of AD admin/lower levelers were asked to stay in Knoxville this weekend.

On that note, Ill probably lay low on his intel for a while - he doesn't know Volnation but I want to respect his privacy and friendship. Still feel weird about sharing his details even though I don't think he minds.

Looks shorter because ol butch was starting his Bow Down...IMO

Don't let it, I'm not. This person filled me in on almost everything last time and wasn't happy when Jones name started being tossed about internally. The fact things are so silent actually plays well into some of the positive rumors from outside. Obviously doesn't make them true, but it gives me some room for optimism.

Basically, all I've heard since UGA is:
1) Timing isn't set, but Jones only has room to lose to Bama. That's done.
2) Jones was denied the use of a Haslam jet for recruiting for the first time the week after UGA.
3) Again timing not set, but USC sealed his fate.
4) No word on next coach, but it isn't Gruden.

Line all that up with other rumors, and some mesh pretty damn well. I'm also encouraged by the ability of the AD to keep any and all moves on their end so well insulated from the public. Of course that might also mean Currie is absolutely tone deaf to the fans and totally inept as an AD.

So if the AD is saying it isn't Gruden... That means it's Gruden right?

Why is Saban limpwristed doing the stanky leg?

You know what they say about small hands and small feet?


Small gloves and small shoes.

 

[preacherwebb]

If anything I think it feeds the ole ego and motivates him to accept the job. He knows how bad the fans want him. He's a competitor. People with his personality don't expect to fail and you can guarantee if he is accepts the position he will not put himself in the position to fail. He'll hire a grand slam staff. If I was in his shoes, I would be watering at the mouth to go down in history as a football legend and that's exactly what he'll be if he wins a NC at the college level. He'll be 1 of 4 coaches to win a SB and NC.

and the first to do it in that order.
the other three won the natty 1st, then the sb.
not that it matters ... or maybe it does ... who knows.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Would they? Peoples' memories get a bit fuzzy when they're outraged.

How long until the narrative of, "Well, the UT AD and big boosters screwed it up again and wound up hiring a Google coach!"

Just last week, the story was Gruden had bought Haslam's house on Lyons View but oddly enough Haslam was the one blocking Gruden to UT. Make a lot of sense, doesn't it?

Little socks.

Dude in the red pullover looks like he just heard a sick burn

Like Charlie Strong?

I made business cards to pass out to all the haters and nonbeleavers when CJG is announced...

I think we need to set a criteria for OG usage. One can only be an OG ( my term, I made it up) if you were part of this madness in 2012...preferably in Gruden Thread I. Not saying you aren't Deezy, just trying to set some guidelines.

Beyond that you're a Grudenite, or disciple of Gruden...make up your own name.

OG should be a position of distinction...we've taken a lot of ish.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

okay, i'm catching up, but ... yuck.
dear god i hope not.

I agree! Hoping DP is way off in that post. It would be unbelievably ridiculous for UT to have approved a massive renovation on the stadium and then not give a darn about the coaching or performances in that stadium, knowing fan support is crucial in regards to funds.

I honestly think you and coasty are the only ones who can set the guidelines.

And I thought I was the only one who thought he had poor posture. Thank you. He's probably just use to curling up like a *****

Thanks again and I laughed my a** off on your Old Miss quote. Post of the day IMO.
