Official Gruden Thread 38

[LoudOrange]

I don't ever post here but figured I'd share the only tidbit of "info" since it kind of relates to this particular subject.

I have a friend in the "business" who has become decently close with Mullen and travels each year to Starkville for a game and stays at Dan's house.

His text to me last night was "Sexton controls the Tennessee Job"

FWIW

If that were true Butch wouldn't have been hired.

If I’m not mistaking, I believe I recall beaver openly said that he was in his early 20s when he first showed up on here? Maybe I am thinking of someone else.

Interesting detail.. so we think that someone in their 20s has gained enough personal/professional status, power, clout, what have you, to gain intimate access to a deal of this potential maginutude? Enough where he is running around message boards, creating a twitter alias, playing with pictures of horses &
Moby Dick and ultimately painting himself as the voice of the coaching search ... highly doubt it

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

And one more tweet....

So he likes throwing darts but his Twitter is private and no one can read them unless he approves it? Yea, true hardcore bad a** there. Keep chucking brother!

It's apparent 1 of 3 things are happening

1. Gruden has accepted and they are trying keep things quiet until they announce.
2. Gruden is getting cold feet again and prolonging the process to which I think Currie has
given a deadline hence the backtracking.
3. Gruden said no and they are trying to downplay his involvment.

With what AV said I'm going with number 2.

If Jimmy Sexton is truly calling the shots then our new coach will be either Jimbo, Mora, Freeze or Saban. Or maybe he will just demand that we bring Butch back.

What makes anyone think Sexton has a say?

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

The admin and Haslam couldn't be trusted with the hire so a new guard has emerged.

At least we showed "Cheeks" the door

 

[Behr]

lol

lol

 

[Vol4Life1313]

Before you jump off the bride ...lol

He’s FOS bahaha whew

 

[Souce]

I seem to remember Beave saying that Currie would look like the hero in the end. I think he's just reminding us who really pushed for this and influenced it happening.

 

[coffeevol]

Before you jump off the bride ...lol

Of course this mysterious tweet makes everyone feel better....#soon

 

[Wilson27]

100%.
These people don't miss.
Done deal.
Golf
Scotch
Etc.

Well, when you say it that way it makes it all sound ridiculous!....uh.....ok....yeah.

 

[volforlife98]

My question is, if Gruden says no, why would that be Sexton's fault? Beaver's rant makes it sound like he has not been offered due to the administration.

It seems to me his posts are in past tense; he's saying what the scarrabbeans have had to overcome.

 

[NAILS]

Ainge was sent by the celtics to tank our football program, Everything was going according to plan til Bruce got caught. Now we suck at everything.

Len Bias aftermath?

 

[BluetickWhiskey]

Good chance Sexton is trying to push Mullen here and trying to convince him to take 6 mil per year. He wants him out of Miss St

I seem to remember someone asking him some form of Tennessee football trivia and he said he would not know it without looking up because he was born in the 90s or something along those lines. Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

 

[BearCat204]

They are more obsessed than they say we are. Honestly, it's weird.

It's pretty simple, if you think he isn't coming and we are all crazy, stay the **** out if the thread lol. Think Freak was pretty clear, but some of the assclowns can't help themselves. Have to question exactly how bad their real loves are to feel the huge need to **** all over everyone lol.

I think its number 3 and here is why. I believe after watching the LSU game, Gruden realizes just how bad of shape the Vols are in. Meaning, what kind of rebuild job he would have to do here is just too much. Especially for a first time head coach in college.

Len Bias aftermath?

I was too young to have a hand in Len's demise, so don't blame me.

 

[jasonvol18]

Florida 247 reporting that Chip and the AD are meeting, supposedly to sign today

Still don't see that happening but who knows.

 

[Vol4Life1313]

And one more tweet....

He’s lurking as we speak (I have a tab open remember).. gauging reaction from his teeets I’m sure lol trolllinnn

 

[VOLumeS]

I for one think MIT is a fraud.

Your ass must be really, really hurting lol.

 

[OldTimer]

[DownTheField]

And one more tweet....
