Official Jon Gruden thread 32.

[tastycar]

Wrong. I said "This was taken by a family friend at McGhee Tyson about 15 minutes ago." Then, I said, "I don't even know this guy. My mother of all people showed this me." NEVER did I say he sent it directly to me. He's a friend of my mother on Facebook. Get it? It's not my fault you can't remember exactly what I said.

Can. We. Let. This. Go.

3467 posts about this already. Enough.

Per source people only ate Barb's dip to be polite

That is hysterical

Ah so it seems we are back at the "Left standing at the altar at the 11th hour" all over again.

2012 all over again.

Just thought I’d drop this back in the discussion. This was from yesterday. Some of this had turned out to be true. I wonder if the rest of it is?

I’d be very surprised if the salary pool for assistants is only $5mil

 

[MaTaLa]

It's all coming together.

Then you'll be saying it often. To suggest that many have not stated explicitly that it was 100% is naive at best.

This is MIT_Beaver's exact post from 10-29 at 5:40 PM

"It wasn’t a question of if but when they would fold. Hence my 100% confidence throughout this process. The only uncertainty was of Gruden wanted the job, thankfully he did."

I'll just leave this here!

I’m taking about our guys. Beav is an outside insider. I think he’d probably like to take that post back as well if what everyone else is saying is true.

 

[{OrangeBlooded}]

his press release says he won't answer any questions

No it doesn’t. It says it’s “to discuss the transition”. Then he says following the press conf, he will not answer questions until a new coach is hired.

OJB these people will continue to rag you out as long as you keep coming back. Just let it ride man and people will forget. Youre beating a dead horse

Lots of folks have history with the railroad here. Used to be a much bigger deal than it is now. We have less than 30 employees now.

My Dad was with B&M railroad in 60’s

I use to work for TVA and The Fish Camp in New Johnsonville had as good as I have ever had. Fiddlers and Hush puppies, they said as many do that hush puppies were invented there.

I was born in New Johnsonville. My dad worked for TVA. We went to Fontana, NC then Elizabethton, TN. Dad was assistant supervisor under George Sykes then Supervisor. Dad moved to Florence, AL in 1992. Managed Pickwick, Wilson, Wheeler and Guntersville. He had 38 years when he retired.

$5 million is a lot for a staff.

Current staff is already making 5 million. Plus they’re adding another full time assistant starting next season. No way the salary pool would be 5million for Gruden.

So OLEVOLFAN, what’s your guy saying now?

 

[preacherwebb]

No it doesn’t. It says it’s “to discuss the transition”. Then he says following the press conf, he will not answer questions until a new coach is hired.

okay
sounds to me like he is going to do the discussing, and not answering any questions

sounds like you interpret it as an open forum or something

but whatever

:hi:

 

[Volz80]

[RockyTopJewel]

[Millhouse]

Is JAV saying anything over at TOS?

 

[Sstterry]

So OLEVOLFAN, what’s your guy saying now?

Soon....

 

[thistime]

I am for Gruden and have been from the start,(2012) but if by some chance that EVERY insider has been mislead or has out and out told us untruths what do we do then. The sad part is than anything less is going to be just that....less. All we can do is hope it really will be SOON thistime.

I've been fortunate to be around some college coaches and I can tell you that what is being said about Butch is more common than you would like to believe.

It happens in all sports, at all levels. Not defending them at all--just telling you it's pretty commonplace.

I was in the military in the late 60's and early 70's and if you were a f*** up, you were verbally abused in front of everyone in your unit. That's just the way it was. You either had to grow a pair or get run out. I'm sure lots of military people will back me up on this. Butch's family back ground is law enforcement. I can see where it comes from.
