Official Gruden Thread 38

[TennVols423]

Someone leaked his social media profiles week ago and it was about as obvious as it gets that it was him. Afterwards those profiled were deleted.

Missed that

Am i the only one who wishes Pilot would focus on staying out of jail and walk away from UTK football?

yes indeed

 

[Power T-Rev]

I’m 100% Gruden until I’m not

 

[FacelessArya]

The other day I imagined showing up in a formal dress to a party and being the only person to show. Not even the Beav showed up.

Haha! That’s probably how it would go down! No worries, I’ll be there in my dress too. We’ll take the hubbies and go party somewhere else.

 

[MarkVols]

I’m 100% all for Harbaugh

Kick him out! Ban Hammer! 🔨

Doyle's party was better.

 

[Power T-Rev]

I remember when the butch news started really leaking there were some people that thought it was a big smokescreen

Jimmy is still reporting Butch as the smokescreen

 

[Lulu]

Everyone freaking out over Beav’s tweets? Just saw them.

Yes

 

[Lulu]

Beaver looking for an "out" with those tweets?

Also yes

 

[allvol]

I don't think he presented a puzzle either. If he meant plan A and Plan B, he'd have said it.

Agreed, in engineering planning terms think of critical path and milestones.

 

[coffeevol]

Not sure how to take this

It reads like a 16 year old girls diary....


Dear Diary, I really love Gruden but not sure if he likes me back. I think I saw him looking at that pretty girl in the hall, I think her name is NFL. He flirts with all the pretty teams but never dates any. If I leave a note saying I am important and in love with him maybe he will look at me. Love da beav

 

[SandoVOL]

This should be in the OP of this and every thread there after

it shouldnt have even been put out there. If you are trying to protect yourself or someone else identity, describing what kind of person and pleading out about having a job and a family on a message board is NOT the way to fly under the radar.

ok, knuck did not see my post, so i will just go ahead and say it.

95% sure the beav is fos. I have heard this from other folks in the vc world, the type of info he gives out and very big money boosters, just not of ut. All of them said he would be fired in an instance if info that sensitive would ever be released.

And his use of "we" is very suspect, like he is actually part of the negotiations. Again see above why folks involved don't really do that.

These same folks stated that vc's wouldn't really get involved in athletics that much, not enough return, and surely wouldn't be so involved on the college level, unless the head of the vc was a crazy booster. Also that ergen was not associated at a high level with the mit group. They said if he was involved at all it would be from a very low level, sideline stance and wouldn't involve sports at all on an amateur level.

That this for what is worth, i am not trying to burst anyones bubble. One of the folks that told me this i literally trust with my life as he and his wife are my daughters god parents. He runs in the same circles as ergen if you know what i mean.

I am not saying that gruden is not happening, but trusting the beav, i am not sure that is a good thing.

That being said if the beav would like to contact me i would be more than happy to discuss this or even put him in touch with my friend (who also went to ut, but transferred to vandy to graduate).

I really want gruden as much as anyone, but i am getting pissed about being played for a sucker.

👍

People can interpret it however they wish. Seemed clear to me that going “beyond” your first option means moving onto the second.

AV did not use the word option?

BabyVol, VQ....

“The reason to wait is simple. The minute you name Gruden then Dale Jones, Tee Martin, Kevin Steele, etc.... are all going to be bombarded with questions about whether or not they will be interested in coming with him to TN. It will be a media circus and talk of college football world. Gruden wants to wait til their regular seasons are over with. I’ve heard TN would like to go ahead and name him this week to be able to use Vandy game to recruit. Not sure which way they go. Either way we will soon knock college football world for a loop, Go Vols!!!!”

FWIW most people on VQ rank babyvol up there with JAV

 

[LazhilUT]

So UT just got done UT’ing according to the Beaver’s tweets...we are *****ed...great...thanks UT...

 

[G8rh8r]

Just saw the beavs tweets. He doesn’t seem confident anymore. Ugh! I need another drink

"From what I understand his assistants don’t want to distract their current players, so out of respect to them they don’t want an announcement made until after next Saturday"

I get that but normally when a new HC is hired, the assistants are hired/named later.

I don't believe this

 

[VOLumeS]

If it's the same one from vn he ranks right below "I was peeing in a trough at Neyland and overheard a guy...."

Finally someone with some LOGIC.

I would really like to answer this. I can't. I am sorry. Sometimes you just have to believe. I don't know you and you don't know me. We can grab a beer sometime. But all I can say is you're not getting played.

 

[TJunky]

Those tweets have a lot of words but he doesn't say anything. So just imagine he tweeted a blank page I guess?
