This^


And this^

This is Atl VOL's post.




Atl never said plan A and plan B! "There is a clear plan and a clear plan beyond the first plan" To me this could be the Tee rumors as in there is a clear plan(Gruden) and then the usage of the word BEYOND as in after the first plan(Tee in waiting) IMO This and his other post about who's in control right now could be him saying Gruden is in charge of when the announcement is made! And as he has pretty much made clear he would like an announcement at a regular time after the season. When his assistants and Head coach in waiting can be announced!!

So all in all...Its still all Good!!
GRUDEN TO THE HILL!!...Soon!

TIFWIW....AV many threads back said MIT_Beav was the real deal, not trolling. Beav has stood steadfastly by his original story. AV seems to have dampened his posts but I'm just guessing there's a logical reason for doing so. I think it may have to do with the DC. AV mentioned some "snags" had come up earlier in the week but I can't imagine a snag so important to cause Gruden to back completely out. As has been mentioned, maybe some of the big boosters have simply asked AV to tone it down for reasons only they know....JMHO.

I don't recall anything about a snag. Do you remember the context?

To be clear, I didn't take the post as a bad thing. I just took it as it's still not a done deal and we have a good plan B in case it falls through. I still think it's happening. Just too much smoke to not be something there.

Again, I agree. I didn’t think AV’s posts were negative, and I still think there’s a ton of smoke. Just not “done” as others have said.

Dunno. I know you're trolling me, but I will still give a straight answer. I thought yesterday, and today, that there were good reasons to look for an announcement today. But I also said that John Currie could look at my post and decide "hey, that jackass thinks it's Monday, let's push it!"

My feelings re: MNF are still applicable whether there's an announcement this week or next. I think MNF will have something special for Gruden either way.

Have a Grude day. :)

Not trolling, looking for answers or calling you out to tell us why you thought an answer would come today or tomorrow about Gruden in a Gruden thread is pretty typical conversation imo lol! You may not like it but it is pertaining to the thread topic no doubt.

If John Currie is lurking threads to determine when to announce an AD hire we are all in for huge trouble lol

To me you seem to have had no basis to make a prediction or be an authority on the message AV posted

Malzahn is not happy with Arkansas because he was not hired before. He tries to run the score up when he can. Was throwing bombs this year up big in 4th.

Those fence's can be mended but the 'ish he deals with in Auburn and fans wanting him gone even now has him exploring other options. I can see His or Norvell at Ark next year.

You do have to wonder with some of the craziness we have for gruden (stalking planes, stalking and following Currie, twitter insanity hah) if a plan B coach would be reluctant to do it due to the fan base not being happy with him because he’s not gruden

I've wondered the same thing. I wouldn't want to be anybody's backup plan either, well except for Kate Upton. :)

If he claimed that there was no way an announcement would be made today, but it was, would you be here berating him about that? He made an educated guess that might be wrong. It's 3:43 PM eastern. Things could still happen.

Watching this thread when I can I must admit can be pretty entertaining. Trying to catch up on a flight as we speak. Couple of bullet points to keep some folks that have really bad information in check here...and that’s really all I can do at this point again have to protect the university, the process, and my relationship with it. Everyone will know when we have a new hire...

1. Gruden was not at Calhouns yesterday.
2. Currie primarily flies commercial on UT business..guy is a hustler and should be respected for that.
3. No need to ever track wheels up planes those are not being used for UT business
4. The vast majority of meetings are NOT happening in any location that would “make sense” (Ie, Knoxville etc)
5. Great lengths have been gone into keeping the tail numbers etc that are being used different from ones that have really ever been posted in here before. Take into account my company alone has 5 planes now that may or may not be used all of which none of those tails are known...so imagine how many others are out there. Additionally usually the registration of said planes are done with essentially phony LLC’s in states other than where the planes are used or kept that have no connection to anything that could ever get traced back to an individual.
6. There is a sense of urgency to get this done as quickly as possible but you can’t force someone’s hand purely with $$$. If it were that easy we would have someone already.

I hope everyone who was able to go to game yesterday enjoyed the experience as much as possible. I was bummed that the weather sucked....first time in box for entire game for me in a long time.

I am around a bit today relaxing preparing to turn and burn for the holiday week...I wish each and everyone of you and your families a wonderful thanksgiving holiday. Take time to hug your wife, kids, and parents if they are still around. That’s what its all about.

No signal just wanted to get somethings out there to help people save their gas money trying to drive out to Tac Air to catch a glimpse of something....

There is a clear plan and a clear plan beyond that first plan all of which I am comfortable with...all won’t be but we know what they say about opinions.

I don't think jc would change the announcement date based on your anonymous post

Educated guess on what information? Do you know the guy personally? Can he not answer for himself?

I had/have just as much basis to think we could have an announcement today as any other prediction where a person acknowledges they don't have definitive info. Which I acknowledged last night in my exchange with VFL92.

Never claimed to be an expert on AV's post either. Just pointed out some things that I thought people should consider.

Feel free to call me out. It isn't going to change what, how, or when I post anything here. My post history is available to anyone who wants to click on my name and read it. :)

No, I don't know him. I find you obnoxious, though. And I fight obnoxious anywhere I see it.

He has answered for himself, you just seem to be too dense to hear what he's saying.

For crying out loud, give it a rest. If you're only here to question anything and everything, and not contribute positively, then peace ✌🏻.
