Official Jon Gruden thread 32.

[5FingerVolPunch]

I am not defending CBJ here at all, but Haynesworth is neither the brightest bulb in the bin nor a stellar example of morality. He just likes to pop off for attention.

I agree, but being a former player, it probably burns him up to see all that talent not being coached up. There's futures at stake.

I don't disagree with you there. I have only one response....

Yeah I've been working at Bowater/Resolute across the river. Heard that explosion. Lucky more people weren't hurt.

He was a beast though but in those days most players was.Its sad I'm only 33 but sit around thinking of glory days already.

What Hamilton, Hart, and now Currie (Hamilton lite) have done and are doing to this proud program makes me sick to my stomach. Having a losing streak to every single SEC team, being blown out by Missouri, Georgia, and Alabama, being a National laughingstock because of a coach who has no clue, and now even Kentucky fans proclaiming “Keep Butch Jones”, etc. is proof they see the program as nothing more than a cash cow and money. I pray the fans not on this message board or other public forums take a stand as well. We deserve better and until the Country Club atmosphere surrounding all the decision makers ends I wonder if it will get better. I couldn’t even get mad last night as we were getting lambasted, I just shook my head. We deserve better and we need to not only demand it but back it up with actions. Currie isn’t fooling anyone with this stuff. Fire the clown. Now. Rant over. Let’s hit a home run and get our white whale. We deserve a massive hire. I truly hope we get Gruden. Please be SOON.

A loss like that sure turns down the enthusiasm on all fronts doesn't it? All gloom and doom.

But we still dream of Gruden and I'm not letting go. Let us not talk of others until we have to.

Gruden to the Hill all day long, We will SOON forget this mess.

 

[Vfl83]

I know where you work. I'm across the river.

Olin or Lonza

Good: LWS said on TOS that with SWAN MAN feeling good about Gruden and him receiving a text that he's now up to 7.5% from 5%. He's always maintained his stance that he doesn't think Gruden wants to coach in college and that's why he keeps the percentage low.

Bad: We just got drubbed my Mizzou. DTO said there's a snag and he's hearing Gruden is meeting with the Bucs this week.

If that’s true then all the rumors about a MOA and signing him already are false

 

[m1al]

It's turned me into a grumpy insomniac. My wife hates it too. She wants me on straight days so bad she can't stand it.

Shift work suxxxx.

I worked twelve hour rotating shift for seven years. Never got more than 4 hrs sleep at a time, my diet was, well I had no diet and I got divorced..

I may have a somewhat tainted view though..

 

[EastTN]

Morning guys and gals!!! Is today the day Butch is Fired, and something BIG is suppose to leak?

 

[Sstterry]

If that’s true then all the rumors about a MOA and signing him already are false

Of course, they are false. I believe there is interest and that it might very well happen. But all of the MOU stuff is bs....

 

[TruVolFann]

I never thought a mou had been signed,although I thought it was true they offered him.

I eat good food, but not eating on a regular schedule still makes it hard to keep weight off and I also only sleep 4 hours at a time if I'm lucky. It's really hard on the body.

That'swhere I work pm3 before the shut down

Man I hate to hear it. Are they helping you all get work?

My thoughts are that won't happen until BJ isn't on the sidelines. Although someone said a feeler was put out to chip Kelley,Idk if that's true,but until stuff like that comes out I'd say Gruden hasn't said no yet

85 year old dad says this is the worst VOLS team he's ever watched--and he watched with his dad when he was a little boy. It is not only the worst, to me it's the most boring.

 

[Godfatha]

I've said Currie is either a mastermind and has his guy or he's the biggest ****ing idiot of an AD in the country. I think it's the former but the longer this goes on I am starting to think he really is that dumb.

 

[Sstterry]

I think that he has been offered and that the decision is his to make. I believe he has interest, but does he want to coach in college is the question.

This administration doesn't care about athletics

If Currie still thinks Butch is the best option to finish the season, then he needs to go back and watch the game. John Kelly smarting off to Butch is a pretty dang good indicator that he's lost the team.

 

[TenUhSee]

It makes me sick seeing Currie's twitter. Softball, basketball, tennis, soccer, vollyball, etc. but not a single mention about UTs most historic and beloved sport and top earner. WTF is wrong with that guy?
