Official Jon Gruden Thread 33

[AmoebaVol]

Dude ... that is disturbing. Haha

 

[tennesseeduke]

Yea, Orange Bowl against WVU. I was there that night. It got ugly, they couldn't do anything right against the Mountaineers.

Sometimes the other teams offensive players are just better than who you have on defense. Kevin Steele is a hellava a D-Coordinator and I'll take him in a heart beat.

Soon!

:loco:

I'm all in for Gruden.

Get on the train. It's fun so just go with it!

Soon!

 

[ShowMeThemTD's]

BEAV!!!!????? We need an upper!!

 

[Jake]

Ooooooo...Russillo just said, “I know the connection Gruden has to Tennessee, but it ain’t Bama.”

Slap in the face to UT, IMO

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Shrinkage on my Grude Day or told to chill? “Going to look dark and then Currie comes in to save day ?”

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Doesn't make it untrue tho lol. Everything is speculation until that happens.

Yeah..I just thought your old school Grumors reference of The Fox and the Hound in Newport was a good one. That was one of the more creative rumors back in the day...fun times.

SIOP

The chatter at Tennessee - FootballScoop

[/Jon Gruden has no interest in being the next head coach at Tennessee. This is not happening. No one is being contacted about potentially joining his staff. Move on Vol fans…QUOTE]

Bassilio calling BS on this story just now regarding the fact the story claims Gruden has not contacted other VFL's to come with him to UT.

 

[Coastypop]

.

WoW... time to move on.... Believe it when I see it :thud:

What's up with Swain? Is it over?

 

[tastycar]

We're all beginning to realize Swain doesn't really know much more than the rest of us. And he falls for the Ron Swanson thing the same way we did.

But he is right about one thing. Maybe it's time some of you move on, emotionally, from this rollercoaster. It's not healthy for you. I'm confident Gruden will be the coach, and have it from trustworthy people. But you can't hang on every tweet, riddle and comment on this message board.

Take a shower. Love your family. And check in on this once or twice a day.

Little condescending, iih

 

[AmoebaVol]

Basilio is shredding the Footballscoop article. Calling it a absolute lie!!

Yeah, man ... there is some ridiculous 'reporting' going on around here.

I'll believe Gruden is a "no" when somebody legit says so.

 

[Jake]

That's a quick 180 for Swain.

He’s totally trolling us for attention...

 

[SouthpawTN]

Ooooooo...Russillo just said, “I know the connection Gruden has to Tennessee, but it ain’t Bama.”

Slap in the face to UT, IMO

 

[volfan1631]

Is that Tony Basilio guy just crazy or is it an act?

 

[Christian Lowe]

You were all saying Basilio was a clown until he was on your side

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

That's a quick 180 for Swain.

Best I can tell from reading his Tweets and Replies, Swain's been consistently skeptical - sometimes more optimistic, but always guarded and never full on suggesting it was going to happen.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Siap

FOX sports guys said he saw texts where a coach admitted lying to a media member about being contacted by Gruden (he told the media member he wasn't contacted), in order to keep the Grumors from sparking up.

Do we know who that could have been? The coach and the media member?

Possibly relevant.

 

[Mike4Vols]

You know what would be cool? If someone could compile a list of screenshots and quotes from the various people on this forum and across the internet who said Gruden would never come to UT.

I want those people to answer for their negativity and condescending attitudes when he stands on the podium.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

So with the Football Scoop article we can shut down this thread?

 

[VolFan32]

He’s totally trolling us for attention...

Probably reading right now.

 

[jasonvol18]

I've heard from a close friend that the app state D.C. Was contacted directly by jon gruden - corroborating the above story and the Swain story yesterday. Something about dale Jones's wife posting on Facebook she's excited to be coming back to Knoxville soon ..

Not a troll. I broke that von Pearson assault story 3 years ago or so and got dragged for it

Would be a great LB and recruiting hire. I love that his staff is going to have former Vols on his staff.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Best I can tell from reading his Tweets and Replies, Swain's been consistently skeptical - sometimes more optimistic, but always guarded and never full on suggesting it was going to happen.

He's trying to be on both sides of the aisle at once.

 

[Jake]

Probably reading right now.

That’s why I posted it....lol

 

[VFL1010]

Sweating for all the wrong reasons right now.

 

[cncchris33]

Anyone know if that's true what guy said on Tony B about state job has to make public for 14 days?

Probably been answered, but a poster the other day gave a great answer to this question.

He said that for highly specialized skills, like coaching major college football, that the rule is null and void, and is not applicable. Essentially, Tennessee could fire Butch and hire Coach X in the same press conference.
