Official Jon Gruden Thread 31

104.5 The Zone Nashville is reporting Jim Haslam has gifted his air plane to Gruden. They were the first to break the mcelwain firing. :w00t:

That's a pretty sweet signing bonus

What was the question he answered no comment with

Had the AD and Gruden met at BlackBerry Farms

 

[Dudleys87]

Not sure if this has been posted or not as I just jumped on.........

"And I'm not sure he's as happy as he was five years ago doing MNF and I think MNF is in trouble at ESPN. So his outlook on his next step in life is probably different than it was 5 years ago."

from Brent Hubbs

He can't be because they can't afford to keep doing it

Gifted? As in, GAVE IT TO HIM?

How does Tony B know about Blackberry farms in the first place?

Thought he was never known to be in the know.

He has denied that Gruden talk was real all along... Tony B is a shock jock.... that is all

Fun fact: My cat is named Blackberry because she was a stray we picked up roaming around Blackberry Farms. It’s all coming together.
SOON

Ah yes, the final piece of the puzzle.

I doubt that very seriously

That's what gifted means. Not lent or loaned. Gifted.

Well, I just killed two hours trying to find old posts of mine. Why is this so hard to do on VN? Why does Google only seem to go back to Gruden VI and not earlier? I'm sure there's a way to do it, but I haven't found it yet.

Anyway, the best I've come up with are some of my posts on Gruden VI. But as just-a-fan who knows nothing about coaching and all, I was just doing some general cheerleading.

So as Smokin' Bob so aptly said, I'm a Grudenite by virtue of longevity. But I sure wasn't taking bullets for it. Hats off:hi:to the true OG's.

Testing..1,2,3....ignore this. My apologies.

Is this some more hidden code crap, a la Bubba and his friend?

Which reporter? Wallace?

 

[G8rh8r]

Big Jim seems like he's playing pretty nicely with Gruden

 

[OldTimer]

He can't be because they can't afford to keep doing it

It’s more the fact that Hubbs is acknowledging the possibility......he’s generally pretty quite about rumors.

 

[USMCVOLFan24]

Squints is here and accounted for. I figured since this has been such a rollercoaster ride, I'd spice it up with a little chaw!

Use a liberally as needed, and ladies, you too.

My Pappaw use to chew this stuff, I use to sneak it often. I was about 8 or 9 at the time, it was rough.

Not sure why, but an image of Gruden dressed in a robe (a la Ric Flair) steps off the plane at one of his targeted assistants house... Asks them if they are ready to do this...holds up his hand with four fingers extended... And just says "Gruuuuuu"

He wouldn't just give him the plane

 

[Squints]

I really think things are ramping up, especially now that my friend in the AD had to bail on plans to go to Mizzou. Things are going to get interesting this weekend - one way or another....

But that's the question, what would preclude him from making the trip, if in fact he's a regular "traveler" to away games? You've dodged it, and I respect that, but my best guess would be he either works on the financial or media/PR side of things. Amirite?

If so, his staying in Knoxville would lend credence to this being significant, and that -soon- is upon us.

Isn't that what happened to Roy?

 

[jakez4ut]

He wouldn't just give him the plane

why not, as rich as he is, he probably gives away planes, like most of us give away cars........
