Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIV

[knucklehead_vol]

I'm telling you guys, Schiano was his number one from the start and they honestly thought it was going to be awesome. I don't think Currie even asked Gruden, Kelly, Peterson, or Patterson. John Currie and the rest of them in charge genuinely thought this was a "homerun." They're that tone deaf. Basically because he's from Ohio State and is next in line for Sexton's P5 HC list we're supposed to be impressed.

The AD has been in shambles for years. Even Kiffin said it was awful.

I miss the days long past (2 days ago) of hope and optimism and all the witty banter and exchange in this thread..... :shakehead:

Has it only been 2 days????????

Im LIVE AT RAW in Knoxville Tennessee and Lane Kiffin just came out Hollywood Hogan style to Voodoo Child.

Lol please tell me this is serious.

Chances to do right are fleeting at UT. A good coach sees opportunity and seizes it. Right now Matt Canada is available to be a head coach.
CBJ hired L.Scott...a missed opportunity.
Davenport hired Currie over Blackburn missed opportunity.
UT needs to right the ship best we can. Do the above keep posting on twitter...send emails to president,etc... sign petitions on change.org

remember Currie chose to fire F.Martin, current b-ball at S.C. who made final 4 last year with limited talent. Bill Snyder doesn't care for Currie either.

SIAP, but the bolded section is what gets me. Martin was certainly no saint and he got rid of him, yet he wanted to hire Schiano?

The thought of him not even asking Gruden makes me want to rip his freaking heart out!

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.

Damage control. Trying to salvage political career. He should be done.

Will someone clarify for me? Which one is the biggest pain in our arse? Big Jim, the dad or Jimmy, the browns owner?

No, Jon Gruden.

It is a pipe dream, but it is the only way I can see Currie winning back the fanbase, alumni and boosters. Petersen would do it, too.

But, outside of those two names, Currie is only going to fan the flames of discontent. They truly are tone deaf in the UT administration.

Schiano.

This university is a dumpster fire.

Sadly, yes....just before the (makes me gag to type it)

Vandy beatdown.

 

[volsfan350]

Is it too late to salvage a deal with Gruden at this point? Just asking. Would that save Currie's job?

Because we haven't had a leader since Dickey. Everyone of them since has been a political, yes-man puppet. No leadership skills whatsoever.

I give kudos for the reporter asking that question. lol
Seems Nashville media now have bigger balls because of our little protest. They would have never asked that in the past.

Yes!

I think this sentence answers your question.

I think you are 100% correct.

AtlantaVol mentioned this meeting in one of his posts. That's when they said done deal---MOU signed

Just for clarification, AV has NEVER mentioned done deal or any MOU signing !

No and no.

I don't about the first question, but no for me on Currie. If he truly did lie to the boosters then he needs to go.

Lets see passed out early Sunday morning. Got up early Sunday morning hopping for good news. Went out about 2 this morning. Got up at 5:30 this morning couldn't sleep. so that's like a couple of weeks ago.

 

[WeAreTheRealUT.]

Jimmy!

Doesn't he have a little lawsuit and a crappy pro team to keep him busy?

 

[FacelessArya]

do you think legislators operate in a vacuum and yesterday they paid no attention to our reaction to Schiano ?

Geez. Of course they listened. But if they had just listened and not made calls on behalf of their constituents, and it was only the fan base screaming no, do you think UT would have stopped the hire?
