Official Jon Gruden thread XL

[VolnJC]

OK guys so I want to start out by saying I am NO insider by any means. I am a die hard Vol fan like all of you and currently reside in Hollywood, FL. I have been following all of you and this thread for years now and you all have convinced me that Gruden is coming. Soo much in fact that last night I put dinner and drinks on it with one of my other buddies. What I am fixing to tell you is 100% the truth but PLEASE take it as you wish...

My close friend runs a very popular bar down here and a member of the Bucs Super Bowl team is a regular there. He just came in a few minutes ago and they got to talking about the Gruden situation since my buddy knows my stance on the matter. The player showed my buddy texts with a current player stating that Gruden is waiting for the TB job to open and he is in 100% at the end of the year. The former player claims Gruden wants to bring him as well to be on staff as he is a very popular name in TB. My buddy then asked about Tennessee specifically to which he replied "No way. The only job he would leave for is TB." My buddy then asked why is he waiting for the TB job to which he replied " Gruden wants to coach Jameis."

I am a season ticket holder for the Bucs and die hard fan of them as well. I drive 5 hours to watch their home games and sit 2nd row for each disaster. This news was obviously music to my ears but at the same time my heart sank for all of you and my orange blood. I know Beav and the rest of the guys are sticking to their stories and honestly I am all in with what they have been saying. I am sharing all of this because my blood pressure has gone up and down with all of yours the past few weeks and this bit of information changes things for me.

As I stated in the beginning, take this for what it is. I am not claiming any insider status at all. My buddy literally just texted me all of this and the first thing to come to mind was letting all of you know. I do not want to out anyone, thus me being very vague with my name mentioning. I am a long time reader and sometimes post but this is vital info coming from a first hand source. I understand if all of you just call me a troll and move on as I would probably do the same. If this is all BS then I will eat crow like I deserve but if not I just want to be the first help us move on.

Threadkilla!

Gruden going to Tampa would be akin to Kiffin coming back here.

Have some pride, Jon.. At least go to a different NFL team.

 

[VEKZY]

Which post?

The one about Gruden coaching the bowl

 

[VolFan32]

Is there a chance Gruden goes to the nfl? Sure. Is it back to th Bucs? No. 1. Jamie’s will probably end up in trouble at some point. 2. He’d be going back to the people who fired him.

It’d be like making up with an ex. Sure, you’re on speaking terms now, but that doesn’t mean we’re getting back together because the same issues that were present when you broke up will come up again.

 

[Bukstar]

Who is Beaver?

A Mystical Legend

 

[NAILS]

The only problem with Jon working with Tampa is that he is about to be announced as the Vols new coach.

Haha. He's a great coach but man that's a lot.

 

[VFL1010]

I'm nervous.

 

[Nointerduction]

I want Gruden to be our HC. I am getting Leary though. I feel that if it is Gruden he needs to announce asap... Because the longer we wait... It will effect the early signing period. Plus if it goes past candy... It looks to me like we r waiting on a coach to finish his season. GRUDEN to the hill.... Not SOON , BUT NOW!

 

[SWFLvol33]

Tampa is still winning games.. don’t expect them to fire Koetter this year just for Gruden.

Gruden to the VOLS

 

[vol.E]

Why would they add someone to their ring of honor while at the same time thinking of hiring them back. Kinda popping the champagne on that celebration a little early...

 

[ZTXVOL]

Uhhh, We may need to go back and "boom" for hands down the best post of 39??????????

Legendary, you're one of the few people in these threads who I have been closely following. If you're at 99.999% then I'm going to go ahead and round up to 100% from my own personal viewpoint. I really hope that a timeline of events comes out after all of this is over. I think I know the exact day and even the exact time that Gruden signed the deal. And I'm pretty confident that I know whose airplane you're talking about. And VN's got at least one insider who was in the room when it happened. I'll say no more. Things are lining up and making pretty good sense now.

Gruden to the Hill! Go VOLS! And fire up that Rocky Top!

Those are some pretty serious claims there, and I cannot help to but believe every single one of them, just cuz I want to.

:rock:

 

[superdave1984]

Gruden wants to coach Jameis."

Nobody wants that. Your post is invalid as a result.

 

[B EaZy40]

Can someone let me know what DukeSilver's stats are? I feel like people give posters "legit status" without even checking their stats. Do we even check stats anymore boys?

I know we sure as hell dont check charts anymore!

 

[Joe Vols]

I would imagine Tampa would be the very last NFL team he would consider working for considering their prior history together.

 

[Paper_Towel]

I'm nervous.

Just keep flying with the Eagles, screaching "Gruden to the Hill" at the negagrudes below

 

[philly1972]

Soon!

 

[EZE]

Ex-Tampa Bay players, specifically those on Gruden’s SB team, let alcohol consumption lead to far fetched stories out of sheer need for attention ?

They would fit in well with us.

 

[volger]

DukeSilverVol on VQ..

Confirmed that Gruden met with Currie in the past couple of days to finalize his staff.

Also DukeSilverVol confirmed that his pants are OFF and he is firmly IN on Gruden being our next coach

"I burned my pants as a sacrifice to Lord Gruden yesterday. They are firmly OFF, and I am firmly IN."

TIFWIW

I laft way too hard at this. :lolabove:

 

[Grand Vol]

They would fot in well with us.

Oh, they have problems spelling, too?

 

[vol.E]

They would fot in well with us.

Only on Sunday and when eating cake

 

[jb865]

Donald Trump?

He stumped me for a minute good call

 

[andywilson001]

With the current season unfolding and his play generally not being stellar, plus the investigation into what may be the second strike against Jameis Winston, I don't know that coaching him will be an option for Gruden in Tampa Bay.

I don't understand why people assume he would go back to Tampa if he returned to the NFL... They fired him. Why would you want to go back to a team that fired you?

 

[superdave1984]

In the last thread AV posted Bitulli tweet, I lost service after this and now a new thread. The thing I noticed was the players name for LSU, Morreau, as in tomorrow!?
Sorry if it has been discussed but I missed it

Maybe as in Island of Dr Moreau

Your story was believable through, "Ok guys," and then you started talking about bars and Gruden's interest in coaching Jameis... LMAO.
