Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIV

[Kurtastrophe]

I will also say, that if this goes well, look for Currie to be fired and Fulmer to have a real legitimate shot at AD. (No timetable, just word)

Big steps to rectifying lots of issues.

 

[Tman2020]

A little bit of good news. I can say, that the Mike Gundy push is being led by Fulmer and other boosters. Not Currie and Haslam.

What would you think of Scott Frost as HC and T Martin as OC? I think they would be awesome for the program.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

Hmmm???


At the end of the article "Tennessee has also reached out to Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm and Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele about the Vols' head coaching job, according to sources."

Why would Steele not take it? That would be huge for him.

 

[superdave1984]

Jamie Satterfield is on Knoxnews Facebook video right now detailing what Haslam said during one of the Pilot "training" sessions where they were instructed how to commit fraud.

If this is true, Jimmy can't avoid indictment. Which would cause him to lose the Browns, or at least transfer ownership. And should be enough to get him to back down completely from anything at UT. It would ruin the Haslam name.

 

[Batman1948]

Does anybody else just feel numb?

My nads are numb. I just hope we can rite the ship before the numbness spreads.

 

[RockyTopSC]

Have boosters other than Haslam signed off on this? Are the boosters back in line behind the House of Haslam?

I don’t know anything further than I got a call was told it’s Gundy no details call was less than 10 seconds

 

[B EaZy40]

Gundy fired Sexton

If Gundy fired Sexton that is even more reason to get behind this hire. Both Jimmys, actually all three Jimmys can eat ****.

 

[Vol_atile]

This guy is not

This guy!

Never say never to nothing!

 

[Grand Vol]

You are definitely closer to the situation out there than me.
So, you may be right.

I can't specifically say what I know, but that last raise he got tapped OSU out.

If T. Boone kicked in to keep him, that's a different ball game. But right now, they cannot match what UT can offer.

 

[Gtown RNG]

I can say it 10 more if you would like. Truth is easy to talk about.

Yea go ahead and repeat it 10 times and waste everyone’s time a little more.

Good. That's exactly what should be happening. Wish it was Gruden though. Gundy is a nice consolation prize though.

I don’t know Frost well enough. But I like Tee.

 

[Sstterry]

A bit unrelated to the current discussion, but after the dust settles (with or without Currie), what does everyone think about Peerless Price for WR coach? This is the 2nd time he has recently expressed interest:

Being a good player does not always equate to being a good coach.

ESPN just showed footage of fight last night where fans were chanting
Fire Currie

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Guys, it's important to keep the focus on replacing this AD and the Haslam influence on our program. I see lots of people chattering about Lane Kiffin, but we can debate his pros or cons later.

Fact is, no coach will have sustained success with the snakes still in play.

We MUST clean house FIRST, and we can't get sidetracked from that, even by something as important as a new coach. We aren't talking about saving a recruiting class or a season anymore, we are fighting for the whole enchilada.

Is the cheese on or off?

Asking for a friend.

 

[FacelessArya]

Ole Has has bigger problems to deal with....

Worked for Ditka and Landry. Not so much for Singletary.

 

[Coastypop]

You can shoot the messenger if you wish. Was just told by a member of the AD it’s Gundy. I don’t know anything further and he is someone I would put a fair amount of trust in. Maybe his intel is not correct only passing on what I’ve been told.

At this point it is a better hire than I expected and a take ... hope he can bring a decent Defensive mind with him

Gundy is not a bad hire. He has a proven track record. With a great DC, I could see him being very successful here.

Still need to get Haslams away from UT, but that is a different discussion.

 

[93TNVol]

I’ve been emailing with Knuck. He’s pretty angry. He found out something disturbing about Haslam but wouldn’t say. It’s apparent that things are much worse on the Hill than we know.

This is freakin awesome! Did you go to Facebook and hear her report. Oh man, Jimmy has some splainen to do.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

A little bit of good news. I can say, that the Mike Gundy push is being led by Fulmer and other boosters. Not Currie and Haslam.

I don’t understand why, if Gruden had signed and had been interested, wouldn’t they go back and follow that up instead of hunting for someone else. Makes no sense to me if Currie and Haslam is not involved.

This would be awesome!:good!:

He gets Steele and this is a homerun.
