Official Jon Gruden thread 32.

[Volzonya]

If he isn't fired TOMORROW then our administration is as impotent as a shuffle board team in South Florida.

 

[johnnylongball]

Assuming Butch hasn’t been told already, UTAD could pay his buyout if they put the firing on PPV.

Tell us more about the insiders

The Comb is one of my favorite posters on VN. Insiders are around, it has been a very interesting past 2 days. The Kendrick’s issue is a big deal (both in the health of that kid and on the implications it has on Butch).

For the game theory nerds, whoever can correctly summarize the implications this has on Currie and the boosters will win a a couple free scotch drinks on me at a home game next year.

F*** skeeter F*** the AD and most of all F*** Butch Jones. Things better be handled as they should. AD handles this correctly then I'll remove my F to them.

Reminds me of why I haven't donated to this university for over a decade. F***!!!!

 

[Volwark]

Was it rumored that skeeter is Blackburn.

Yep. Either way, skeeter was fired. He probably still knows some people and some things, but I doubt he's going to be doing a smokescreen for the AD

 

[AllVolinGA]

I fully expect one of two things to happen in the next 24 hours.

News leaks tomorrow that Butch has been relieved of his duties and who will serve as interim

Or

Full on press conference tomorrow or Monday saying he will finish the season and be done at that point and that the search is on for the next HC at UT.

Either of these scenarios might put a spark in the players and we can at least see an effort these next two games. I see no possible way it is business as usual. Its weird when none of my friends that are close are responding to our usual game texts since the first quarter of the game. I will be baffled if by noon tomorrow news doesn't start to leak. I think Jones knows it's over and he had a strange look of almost relief at the end of the game.

He is a good man but has failed. It sucks for us as fans but remember there is a family and real people involved. Forget the money, I know a lot of people's worries in life revolve around money but not everyone's. Failing is not easy but is a reality in any profession. I do appreciate what he has done here to steer the program in the right direction. Hopefully the next head coach of the University of Tennessee is the right fit whether it is Gruden or not.

And before I could post this I got a text saying simply "It's over" from someone I trust would know. Tifwiw not trying to be all insider. I asked if tomorrow or Monday and I got a "I think so". I think they know they have to say something but are unsure whether they want to announce and let him finish or go with interim.

Thank you for sharing.

Not Blackburn.

[UTAlum03]

Was Currie at the game? If so, anyone got any pics? Wondering if he's wearing that smug face again.

"Unlike recent games, @John_Currie was not on the field at the end of the game."

 

[DownTheField]

butch accuses odom of bullying and abuse...oh the irony

 

[Coastypop]

Found it interesting the commentators openly talked about Gruden. No national personality has been willing to touch it with a 10ft pole. Can't remember if I posted this or not last weekend but one of the guys in the AD at a pretty high level (not one of my contacts) stopped by our tailgate and I had talked to him via phone the Tuesday before told me Gruden was not even a consideration. When I saw him in person Saturday I jokingly asked him if he still thought I was crazy. And his direct quote was "not after Thursday night". I asked if he wanted to expanded on that and relieve the burden of such a heavy load and he just laughed and said that was all he was saying and that was too much.

Interesting..... Boy I sure do HOPE that Tennessee can shock the Sports World and hire Gruden !

Well thats it., we are heading back tomorrow Like my friend said Butch is done tomorrow, Gruden will be named in the next couple of weeks. He said he had to stay back to prep for the departure of Butch Jones. He also mentioned how the morale was high in the UT AD

Here is your post from earlier. It says "Gruden will be named in the next couple of weeks".
So..is he gonna be named or not? Not trying to be ugly, we just want solid info.

 

[goinuponatuesday]

F*** skeeter F*** the AD and most of all F*** Butch Jones. Things better be handled as they should. AD handles this correctly then I'll remove my F to them.

Reminds me of why I haven't donated to this university for over a decade. F***!!!!

This post Reminds me of the Tupac song hit em up, ha.

@AustinPriceless
"Unlike recent games, @John_Currie was not on the field at the end of the game."

Because he stayed in knox

 

[Rizzo924]

Skeeter just made an appearance in the Currie thread and said Currie has been at odds with he boosters over firing Butch. Also said it is doubtful Butch coaches LSU game as Currie is under tremendous pressure from boosters.

Hmmm. So firing now doesn't fit Currie's preferred timeline... Does that mean Gruden not 100% or just not ready to have it announced? or something else?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I sware if Mullen is hired, I’ll be totally bummed out.

[SmokinBob]

Workin' on it. You ever find yourself in a position where you could make your life more complicated than it already is, and the only thing in your head is telling you to drink til you decide what to do?

So you got a good woman friend to talk to? If so, call her and talk!

 

[mccrackb]

not sure i knew this, but UT and Ohio St are the only two teams to never have an 8-loss season

You should just keep quiet. It’s not so noticeable that way

 

[Nash_Vol97]

FYI on Skeeter. His last post before today (which was January by the way) he mentioned that he is “out of the loop now.” Makes sense why he wouldn’t have heard Grudens name. Keep the faith :rock:

 

[Vfl83]

So this is what the cellar looks like...

 

[RagingOrange]

Chill out. Back away from the ledge.

All is Groooood.

 

[bcartervol98]

Because he stayed in knox

Preparing imo. The team has quit and that has been known for some time. He now has shown that he has given Butch every chance to improve and he has lost the team. Curries hand is forced to move before the end of the season now.
