Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIV

[Bubba]

Bet Bubba didn't expect to have to be back in ten days (not ten years) for the next coaching search.

I'd sure like to hear from that guy about what happened and why he felt like it would be ten years until the next search.

Yeah, sorry about that. Typo.

 

[TenUhSee]

Haslam is holding the damn leash.

I've posted a few times for you to please email me.

I'm trying to get a focused, organized effort to remove

Currie/Haslam started. govols@gmx.com

 

[CS_VFL_7]

Offensively, yes, he can compete. He pushes that fast paced run and gun offense that can put a defense on it's heels.

Defensively...no way. He needs a home run hire at DC to make it work.

Thanks for the reply GV, I agree completely with defensively, but I've just never actually watched enough of his offense to really know if it would work. I mean we all see the Big 12 scores every week in the 50's 60's so we know they can put the points up, just didn't know if it could actually work against SEC caliber defenses :good!:

As I am listening to Fox Sports Knoxville, one of the hosts recently claimed that a source within the Athletic Department confirmed that a call from Jimmy Haslam came in today and went straight to "the big man" -> John Currie. TIFWIW.

My info is about a call that Jimmy Haslam made. I am trying to come up with a way to get it out but I am not going to cost someone their job. Especially when that someone is close. Haslam was behind this. As I said don't let up Vol Nation !!!

 

[Squints]

Currie’s hire will determine how marketable he is for his next school.

There's no undoing the stain this schmuck put on our program, his career and his drawls.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

WAKE UP PEOPLE ! DON'T BE FOOLED !

Reactions like this are EXACTLY what Currie/Haslam are counting on

CURRIE NEEDS TO BE FIRED AND HASLAM'S STRANGLEHOLD ON UT BROKEN !!!!

I’m still in!

 

[MaTaLa]

No.

He's an asshat and his HC record sucks worse than Butch's. Why don't you get that?

This, I wasn't aware of the Penn State connection till AFTER I was screaming BullChit about hiring him.

Tampa hated him, barely .500 at Rutgers and if he was lucky he had Ray Rice to even get that.

Wasn't mentioned in any other coach searches that were going on, that I saw.

 

[Behr]

Behr? I do. that's my whole point. He is not a good coach regardless of PSU. Tennessee deserves better. Precisely what I have been saying.

Damn. Twice today.

I apologize.

go cards!

 

[revjayp]

Don’t know. Sorry. If it pans out then I’ll findout how it happened. However the hire doesn’t matter as much to me as getting rid of John. I gave him a chance he lied to me and everyone else.

That’s why I asked... Someone was hearing last night that Currie was being forced out and Phil was taking over. But they may let him “make this hire”.

My problem with Gundy is he blows a game or two every year he should win. Good coach, but it's almost like complacency sets in.

Please act fast!!!

 

[Wild @s a Mink]

Yeah, sorry about that. Typo.

Glad to see you here.

 

[TenUhSee]

If we get Gundy, it would certainly indicate that your statement is incorrect.

no it doesn't.

sorry, pal, you've been duped.

the Haslams and Curries of the world count on that.

 

[67volbabygirl]

Vol Twiter finally had to take measures into our own hands to get the Jumbotron pic changed out...

 

[Vanbo73]

I'm convinced the same folks in the Gruden thread are the same ones in the Flat Earth and 911 conspiracy threads!

This is the majority of folks right here.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Has plane takin off?.. I like gauged interest line here. Means there has to be a contract on that plane

 

[vol4life1981]

I will say this. If Gundy was offered, he's going to need some time to mullet over.

I see what you did there!

 

[Rizzo924]

That’s why I asked... Someone was hearing last night that Currie was being forced out and Phil was taking over. But they may let him “make this hire”.

Knuck said that - an hour or so before he got "disgusted"

 

[309VFL]

Sorry if that last line sounded glib, wasn’t meant to. I assure you, I’ve been railing on the Haslams all morning here. I meant the “move on” regarding Gruden, most definitely not towards Haslams. Now is the time to push even harder to purge this University of their influence.

Have a good day at work. 😊

Thank you:hi: you have a good day as well

Sounds all too familiar..

 

[McDad]

My problem with Gundy is he blows a game or two every year he should win. Good coach, but it's almost like complacency sets in.

And he gets beat by the team he isnt supposed to beat (OU).

Hope he leaves that pattern in stillwater.

 

[Kid Deezy]

Yeah, sorry about that. Typo.

I want to be so mad but this made me laugh lol:
