Official Jon Gruden Thread 36

[ER Vol]

They are forgetting his awful offense at lsu. He was blessed with so many high level recruits, but seldom had even a serviceable qb. Offense from 1960s. He was fired, don’t forget that.

Yep.

***BREAKING NEWS*** Fox sports radio Knoxville Just got a report from a unidentified member of chancellor Davenports committee that there will be a presser tonight or tommorrow !

[KX2620]

5 or 6 years ago

Just saw the pic on their twitter. Had todays date. Oops. Brother n law said people were coming in his store talking about it.

I thought hiring CJG was suppose to unite the fan base. I guess we will be united against Hyams.

Your boy going to do some write ups on the Grudefense?

 

[billchu]

Before that were the old usenet groups, alt.sports.college.football or something like that. It was the very early days of the Internet.

rec.sport.college.football

I remember the old wars between Ron Vaughn of OU and Eddy Lor of UCLA.

 

[UTSuave’]

Someone confirm

Confirmed.

It’s a terribly kept secret we’re pursuing him for the job. He even asked on his radio interview for the hosts to not talk about it - then he dropped the Rocky Top nugget. UT administration can’t be deaf to the fans expectations. There were over 4K viewers on a periscope today that almost all viewers knew was a dead end before they even loaded it - yet they still watched. The fanbase is beyond riled up and you’d have to literally be living under a rock to not know how obsessed we all are with Gruden. So if it’s a no-go they really should issue a statement that it’s not happening. They haven’t. And Gruden teased us this morning. Still nothing from the University. To me, that’s great news.

This. 100%

I just don't see them making it through 12 more news cycles. That may have been the wish and the plan, but it's going to be adjusted up; just like Butch's firing.

Seems legit

 

[Hawkpilot]

When did AV say that??? I don't think he did!

I don't think he did

 

[ER Vol]

Phillip Fulmer is at Johnny Long's Training Facility in Hardin Valley right now teaching kids.
Any report that he was in Tampa earlier with Currie is false.

I am sure he is working them like heck.

Sorry I couldn't resist, good info and thanks.

I agree. There's too much $ at stake to be toying with a fanbase like this. I would hope by now Currie knows people will be calling for his head if he bungles this. It's at least expected to be done. He's coming.

Or Saturday or Sunday or Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday or or or

 

[MarkVols]

Excellent! I hope our new offensive coordinator drinks vodka!😂

Yeah, man, I personally think it was done yesterday.

When Bubba said words to the effect of "my work here is done, see you in 10 years for the next coaching search" ... and Beav went fireworks-tuxedo mode on twitter ... and Atlanta Vol said something like "done deal" ... and Tuesday said he was celebrating with "twisted tea and vodka" (he's Tee's friend...celebrating with tea, get it?) ...

... when all four of those things happened independently within about 10 minutes, I was convinced the deal was closed.

Now we're in the quiet time. Thank goodness for periscopes out of local airports to keep us engaged until the announcement comes.

Go (to the fence) Vols!

 

[VOLumeS]

Guys I don’t know ya know?

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Lol, the tea was pun unintended because I mix twisted tea with vodka, but I will now say it is pun intended haha.

Heh, I wondered if I was reading more into that than you meant. But run with it, brother, it works. :good!:

 

[VFL1989]

Do you think those kids could keep it a secret?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

He's not lying, heard the same

 

[Behr]

You got to be getting numb to the false hope every day.

If it happens, it happens.

At this point, it is just fun to see folks panting like young girls to Bieber. Sad and funny at the same time.

No man, I dig it. It's a football coach search, not a job search. I'm having an absolute blast.

 

[Sin City Vol]

It’s done...just got a call from someone in the meeting

 

[BearCat204]

I don't think he did

I'm certain he didn't

 

[UTSuave’]

Couldn't anyone call and claim to be someone on the radio?

Only Beaver could match a story up like that and connect all the dots,I'll take this tid bit for what it is no way anyone could make that up with the number of flights and where with detail

 

[HeadVol77]

Gruden To The Hill

Really Soon!
