Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIV

[Smokeytom]

now yall conservatives know how us liberals feel about Trump and Putin lmao

You're half a meatball.

 

[EZE]

Nope, Currie is not calling the shots right now.

Currie wasn't calling the shots yesterday, either.

How did the guys who don’t lose, lose? I’ve just been thinking about it today. Pretty depressing to think they had 5 years to plan this out and still couldn’t take down Haslam. And I’m not looking for the smart A’s to come in here and put down Beav or anyone else. I’m seriously trying to figure it out. What/who were the pocket aces? I’m just baffled how 1 man can have this much power unless he’s a freakin’ Satan worshiping wizard casting a horrible spell on every AD.

One thing I’m realizing is Ergen may be a micro instead of a helicopter. It sounds like he’s absent and has been. Am I reading this right?

im not sure any of these other boosters can dig in, haslam family is in BoT and the govenors office. And maybe soon into the senate. They could make a lot of trouble for business with these other guys.

I don’t know but I know a lot of angry people with deep pockets want him out. The group I hangout with had a teleconference last night and all agreed we were ready to back out if GS was hired. We elected our highest ranking booster to contact the AD and tell them. All of us together is a very significant amount of money. I don’t know if we are going to pull that card again for Currie but I know we are going to talk again in the next couple of days. You have to be careful with the nuclear option. I know that several of us today have talked to reps of the AD and expressed the Currie needs to be out.

I know it must be a difficult time. Thanks for taking a moment and giving us an update.

Is that your text?

No it was posted in a thread here. I should have quoted it but i couldn’t find where it was posted. I just had screenshot saved from sending to a friend. It is in one of the threads in football forum.

 

[zydane47]

so what? You don't think he is saying what he has heard from his son? Maybe he is just making it up.

I'm not saying he's making it up, someone said they wouldn't follow players on social media next year, I was merely pointing out it was a parent and not the player

Secondly for any player on this team to make some kind of empty threat like this, then that player better think long and hard about his next words because the potential new coach could be watching all of this and taking notes on who to weed out as soon as he's hired

 

[InfiniteVol]

Or did he get lied to like all of us?

You'd think they'd at least know how to spell Haslam! More junk.

Well, He signed the papers, If he is a puppet he must go down.

 

[VOLED]

I have a gut felling things are about to take a turn for the better............optimistic you might say.

I am with you. I said Gruden until I heard otherwise from from him.

They haven't technically "lost" yet, because the other guys didn't win. This will come to a head soon enough, i'm sure.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Shouldn't you be in it?

Maybe I was.

Gotcha. Thunder is pissed.

The Grude News, the the afternoon edition. For those just joining us...

Back by popular (or something like that) demand. The recap of yesterday, in pictures.

So, we started the day by waking up happy, because it was going to be a Grude day:

And then we got hit with the CBS article talking about Gruden and UT talking:

And then someone dropped a bomb about a meeting in the AD:

And we celebrated even more:

Then...suddenly the mood changed as word started getting out about that guy...

And the picture became clearer:

And suddenly, denial set in:

Then anger:

And rage:

Some immediately called the AD and UT

Others still had a hard time grasping it:

Then the trolls stopped by:

And promptly multiplied:

We implored Freak to stop:

To which he helped:

More calls were made:

And emails sent:

Before we'd finally had enough:

And called it a night:

From the entire Volnation News Team, I'm Grand Vol and pictures are worth a thousand words.

You have outdone yourself, my friend. And you made me smile... :kiss:

The pocket aces are meeting as we speak according to veryyyy reliable source AV....like to think we’ll here more of that later !!

 

[Batman1948]

Got any names to go with the boosters who were there? Everything you say is plausible yet lacks validation.Was an MOU signed concerning Gruden hire? Any evidence other than your word is all I'm asking. Otherwise why are you doing this?

AtlantaVol mentioned this meeting in one of his posts. That's when they said done deal---MOU signed. I just believe this is pretty much what happened. Maybe AtlantaVol could shed some light on this. I'm just a fan. Don't even live in Tennessee anymore. I just believe when Gruden delayed the announcement, it gave Haslam and Currie a clear path for their deception.

 

[CoachClick]

Because this is the Gruden thread and IDGAF about those who come in here to blast...

 

[MaTaLa]

Hasn't been since he latched on to Haslam's privates

 

[tn88volfan]

Gov Haslam just said his brother had zero input on the Schiano hire on the news. i could see he was lying by his expressions and i am not stupid.

 

[luthervol]

You still believe this ****?

I know this.

 

[BubbaWms]

jeesh, Please abide by GV’s request....don’t quote the whole freakin news, server slow enough....Thanks !!
