Official Jon Gruden Thread 34

[TheOrangeSwarm]

That Blackburn story is the most compelling thing we've seen in either the 2012 or 2017 saga of Grumors...

 

[Hawkpilot]

Final puzzle piece. And my brother was holding it the whole time. Hahaha

Catching up and I'm pausing right here. 😳

 

[butchna]

dobbs was a good qb for the system, peterman is better suited for the drop back game.

So you wouldn’t have? How do you “run off” a QB who wasn’t going to play? Same goes for Ferguson.

 

[volundeer]

UT has their Man, and as I've said over the last couple days just be ready for an announcement, much sooner rather than later. My source is reliable and the info I've put out has been right so far, so I have zero reason to doubt this time as well.

Thanks Ole Vol!

 

[IN Jed]

Just got an ESPN alert about Gruden's 'Never say never' quote in response to the UT job. Is ESPN beginning to control the narrative?

 

[UTVolinExile]

It is so dumb when the internet tough guys and gals play this card. Everybody is entitled to an opinion. Nobody owns this place.

And BTW, I want Gruden as much as anybody else.

Fleeced has been extremely nasty to posters on here. He is free to call names all he wants, but when he then tries to backtrack and say "oh, I just didn't want to be hurt," I will call that out. It's trolling, it's specifically against the private rules of this board, and he CAN be told to get out.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

OLEVOLFAN's source is DTO lulz.

Who is DTO?

 

[WhiteRhino]

I’m a realist. Sorry that offends you.

Your a reala$$ and that offends me, lol

[MACGRUDER]

It’s really hard for me to see a scenario where Hargis comes out swinging with those comments if Gruden to TN doesn’t happen. I think if it was still in the speculative phase, he wouldn’t put his name out there again like this to be burned a second time. I think he’s got solid sources and it’s all but a formality at this point.

Thought the same thing.

 

[90 Vol]

First, Gruden couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag. Secondly, he is gutless and couldn't handle the job. Thirdly, for all you Gruden fans get over it, he's not coming. Period. I have a personal therapist that could help you folks to accept reality.

I think there's a P.J. Fleck thread out there somewhere. I think you would be happier wallowing in mediocrity there....now

GTFO

 

[UTVolinExile]

Hargis

I love seeing this.

 

[kemotoe]

Wait...when did Blackburn step down as AD at UTC? Did I miss that somewhere?

Gruden to the Hill has been a much longer game than everyone thinks.

5 years according to people on here

 

[VFLnSFD]

No way I don't run out of likes today.

OG test: who is Hargis.

Answer determines your OG worthiness.

Oh for **** sakes. Please don’t get the “OG” d*** s****** slobber fest going again

 

[etsuvol13]

The vagueness shall rule in the coming days. Currie does have his guy, but it isn't God Durjen.

 

[LittleDTO]

I’m a realist. Sorry that offends you.

What is your realism based off of? Your own personal knowledge of the situation or your predetermined perception of the situation? Do you discount some reporters and media people but put trust in others? Do you think all of these indicators that are popping up, are just trolls who got together one night and hatched some evil plan?

Not trying to be an antagonist, just seriously would love to hear why your thoughts are “realist” and others are not.

All I'm saying is besides Dobbs.Butch never had a quarterback that he could adjusted his offensive to. I think Gruden can do that.

 

[GetEmVols]

Either Gruden is lying (why would he?) or our administration hasn't even spoken with him. That is very disappointing. Sorry if I am Jimmy Hyamsing this news.. I've been working.

Jon Gruden's 'never say never' on Tennessee coaching job

OG or not if you even heard of Grumors in 2012 you know of Stephen. All he ever wanted to do was write sports and has always been a true Vol fan.

Soon..

Around the same time Phil was hired on in Knoxville.


Oops! Have I said too much???

 

[TuxedoVol]

There's a different way to interpret "I haven't talked to anybody."

It could mean he hasn't talked publicly to anyone about his interest or his plans.

Not that he hasn't talked to anybody about the job.

That's my rationalization, anyway.

This is how I took it as well

SOON
