This thread is moving at hyper speed. Seriously can’t even keep up.

It’s great!

 

[TruVolFann]

If true we need to have our Gruden press conference Thursday at 11:15

I'd say possible cause the sec cleared them to talk

 

[UTLEGEND]

help me out ... who is he and why huuuuuuge!
thanks.

Austin Thomas is a Lipscomb grad who now works for LSU. He has been recruiting Tennessee for LSU. Has pulled a few guys to the tigers and has a lot of connections in TN. With out recruits in 2019 and beyond it would be nice to have him on our side

Had to look him up and first thought what the hell does this kid know about coaching football. Turns out, nothing. But he does know how to manage a program (whatever that means exactly)

Sharp kid from here in Franklin. Workaholic and great with recruiting and personnel.

 

[HeadVol77]

Even Finebum said Gruden was a bigger announcement to UT than Kelly to Floriduh

Exactly

Give them 15 min and while their press conference is still going on ALL networks switch over to TN announcing Gruden

[Silky_Johnson]

Tin Foil Hat Day first home game vs ETSU?

 

[UTSuave’]

Between "Atlanta vol" helping the vets and youngins get to experience the unexplainable feeling of the "T" opening up at a BIG SEC game and my man coastypop moving his grudeometer to 75% on the gruden front, it doesn't get any better than the volnation (Gruden Forum) and the information we share here,Atlanta vol some heroes do not wear capes,you are a true VOL FOR LIFE much respect ✊🏽

It’s great!

It was getting chippy in here earlier. I called you out just to say STFU.

 

[AcuraCl1]

Any vets on here or parents with young children who maybe don’t get a chance to go to UT games who would like to go to the LSU game this weekend? I would like to treat some folks if there is anyone out there that would meet that criteria.

No questions on Gruden front please. Sorry have not been around but things have been moving at a frantic pace and the process must be respected....and I have a duty to AD to uphold that at this point....

Not sure if you have any more, i sent you an email from scott armstead, forgot to put my user name. I wantes to take my about to be 4 year old to his first game along with my dad who is a veteran.

Thanks

BREAKING: Sources telling me Chip Kelly and The University of Florida have officially agreed to terms. 6 years/4.5 M per year. Press Conference is set for Thursday at 11 am.

They may have him. I don't call it breaking news and the PC is over a day away. Someone is just throwing stuff on the wall, regarding the specifics.

[DownTheField]

He's helping Butch move out the last of his ****.

He's presenting Butch with his FFCA hat, t-shirt, and information about membership fees.

 

[Volnatic]

Given that Butch has until Friday to return all university property, etc. as per termination letter, do you guys think it’s likely they wait until then to announce someone new (hopefully Gruden)?

 

[Coastypop]

"Yes he is on campus and yes he has 100% reached out to David Blackburn for compliance and Dale Jones as a potential defensive coach"

It would be amazing to get Blackburn back..... but it is so difficult to believe he would take a step back...

MAN I HOPE HE DOES ... I'm in :rock:

 

[Volnbeers]

i find it odd that they hired currie if they were just gonna bring blackburn on board

 

[peerless98]

What’s your cutoff on young children? My girls are 11 and 13 but they’ve never been to the stadium. They’d love to go. My eldest wants to attend UT one day.

I am a vet but can't make the game; maybe AV will allow me to bestow my status on you for a game and help you get those girls in the stadium.

I saw! I was like 100 pages behind when I first saw that though.

His pick for football coach at UTC isn't going so well.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Sanders is NOT on campus. It's a phone call. Fulmer is there with Currie, Gruden and UT's lawyers.

Would be interesting to know if Trace Armstrong is on campus.

I wouldn't expect anything to be signed tonight. It seems they're still trying fill out a staff.

Does anyone know if the entire staff was announced when Texas hired Tom Herman?

From the RF.

 

[SmokeyLives]

Gruden is 100% telling people he's not coming to Tennessee.
Gruden is 100% putting out feelers to potential assistants.

If you're gonna take the former and run with it, claiming that Gruden has no interest in the UT job, you gotta take the latter to mean that he's certainly coming, don't you? Football Scoop's stuff is a bunch of malarkey more often than not, and this is definitely not an exception to that rule. How do you claim a guy has "no interest" in the UT job when he's reaching out to former players in the coaching profession? I'm not saying Gruden is coming; I don't think he will. I'm just saying there's gonna be a lot of smoke, there's gonna be a lot of conjecture, there's gonna be a lot of speculation that is way off base...and then there's gonna be a lot of outright lies. Until and unless Gruden issues a statement through his agent to say he's not interested, or until news breaks that UT has hired someone else, nothing has changed on the Gruden front. It is no less likely today than it was yesterday.

If I’m not mistaken, this same media outlet reported that Harbaugh would never go to Michigan a day before the announcement that he took the job was made. Here’s a thought, maybe these guys are a “smokescreen” for hire?
