Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIV

[MaTaLa]

So, in light of today's revelation that JH's voice was heard on wiretap recordings in Federal court in a training session discussing the operational tactics of running the rebate scam, surely it just got A LOT easier for other boosters to wrest power away from him, ergo move Currie out sooner rather than later. Would you both agree that this situation will expedite matters?

That point, JH's participation in the conversation, should be referred to on an airplane banner.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

You either can't read or are completely clueless. Your last comment establishes you are ignorant.

I said that the right people to do something about it know.

Cmon guys leave him alone! This should be good enough! What the hell would anyone of you do with the info anyways. He said it’s in the best hands it can be in. Just appreciate what he brings or hey out of this thread. Simple!

 

[tastycar]

The Beav knows what he is talking about...if you dont like the way he is saying it so be it...several folks here are saying the same thing...we need to cut the cancer out...I have sent emails and made phone calls.
What have you done?
I have paid attention to these forums for weeks now...I would think you would agree we need to get Currie and Davenport out...Haslam needs to be put in check!

Ok. So, you know him IRL or you know him from here? Methinks you know him from here, and I have my opinion and you have yours.

Different sides on this...

 

[ETennGal]

Haslam is NOT in court. They played audio in court that included his voice. Haslam himself is facing no charges, it is executives of Pilot who are in court.

After hearing the audio, I don’t see how one of these guys doesn’t flip on him. To me, that audio tape is pretty convicting that he knew something was going on.

 

[Sstterry]

I see. In that case.

So I wasn't going to say anything about this. I am no insider, and have never had any inside information before, ever. Like, ever.

But I did just get a very interesting email from a Numibian prince, and I think I see a way out of our current predicament.

See, if I can just get together $2,000 as what he calls "honesty money," this Numibian prince will hire me as his American financial representative, and will send $4,000,000 (that's MILLION, friends) to me. I invest $3,000,000 on his behalf, and get to keep the other $1,000,000 for my troubles.

This is a legit insider deal. But it gets even better!

See, once I have my $1,000,000, I can join Atlanta Vol in the diamond booster fight against the Haslams. Once we lock arms together, we can take the tyrant down!

I have started up a GoFundMe page for this, entitled, "RoastJohnCurreGetJonGrudenSoon." Please donate what you can.

Together, we can beat cancer. I mean, get rich from Numibia. I mean, bring down the Haslams.

And as always, Go Vols!

I hate to burst your bubble but it will take a lot more than $1 million.

But I think we will be working together. I got the same e-mail from the same Prince! :clapping:

 

[rockyhdr]

So, why is Currie still trying to sign a coach? Why hasn't he been fired?

Can you say smokescreen?

 

[jutvols]

Lol

 

[beardog14]

I think we all agree there is something rotten in Denmark. However, uniting a large group of people against a common enemy is not something that can be accomplished by saying people have bad stuff on a prominent booster and or admin. We all United Sunday because we could see the obvious injustice. I’m not prying because if it is a horrible as you say, then things would be better served working out privately, but it is is hard to rally people around a cause they are told exists without actually seeing it.

I will continue to email and push for Curries removal on the basis of gross ineptitude. If it’s deeper than that, well, I hope one of the channels that be decide air out the dirty laundry and become a whistleblower.

Have been emailing and texting. Have not received a reply.
Normal?? :crazy:

 

[tastycar]

Tasty, I love you man, but you are really testing my personal "don't put anyone on ignore" rule.

Feel free. You obviously don't 'love me man' if you want to ignore me. I'm not for everyone, that's for sure.

 

[JawjaVol]

If the info is damning to Haslam, and someone just isn't saying it to protect a "source", they are also protecting Haslam.

This is why we can’t have nice things. Y’all have bought into all of the Gruden cloak and dagger for months but now you’re gonna turn on your own side?

If there is some truly bad stuff out there concerning Haslam, have you ever thought that it’s far more valuable as leverage than as a media headline? Once the genie is out of the bottle you can’t put it back, and you lose the threat of publicizing it.

I have no idea what the supposed dirt is, but sometime you just have to accept your role, run with it, and hope/trust that those with more knowledge and power are using it to advance the same goal that we all share.

It’s like a political campaign: volunteers that knock on doors and make phone calls, ie the grassroots army, don’t walk into the consultant’s office and demand to see the advertising budget, debate prep notes, etc. you gotta do what you can do and accept that everyone involved has the same goal and is doing thier particular job to achieve it.

Skeeter sighting in recruiting forum.

I can't leave this thread what was said?

 

[Kid Deezy]

If you have 2 animal crackers and they use brooms at the funeral home, drink Dalmore 62 Single Malt Scotch while shoving cakes into your freezer- MIT_Beaver

Feel free to spend 3 or 4 days deciphering this valuable information.

Animal crackers = Ben Affleck from Armagedon = Second in command

Brooms = sweep up evidence

Funeral Home = Grim Reaper

Dalmore? more like Dalmations! 101 to be exact...

Single Malt Scotch = SMS = Text Messages

Cakes into your freezer = Stashed bodies


John Currie (2nd in command) covered up (brooms) Haslams (GR) 101 dog murders and we have evidence through texts of where the stashed bodies are.

 

[UTVolinExile]

No they don't. If it's as big as you and Knuckle are trying to make it out to be, you have failed. Or maybe it's nothing that big..

I have not tried to make anything out. I clarified that knuck's post last night was in response to what I discussed with him. I did not characterized that discussion. I specifically said I was not bringing further details and that I merely didn't want knuck to receive heat because of what we discussed.

 

[Sstterry]

Feel free. You obviously don't 'love me man' if you want to ignore me. I'm not for everyone, that's for sure.

I am still hurt you called me a "bad penny" :cray:

 

[barrylee]

I don’t know where 8.4 million came from but I don’t buy that. That seems like a number made up by someone on the pity party line of thinking. We are after Gundy but he will only come to this disaster if we give him a stupid amount of money. Doesn’t smell right to me.

He's interviewing Gundy for show and then tries to slip a Morris type hire on us..

 

[zydane47]

Tasty, I love you man, but you are really testing my personal "don't put anyone on ignore" rule.

He has a point dude, I honestly can't think of anything worse than what happened at PSU that could cause any kind of real harm to the University.

Short of a fricking sex slave ring or a PSU type situation, then there is nothing that can be so damaging that you couldn't send it to someone in the media anonymously

If it is that bad and that concrete, then it needs to be in the hands of the media.

Cause apparently the "right people" aren't doing crap cause both Currie and Haslam are still hanging around.

This cloak and dagger **** is annoying. Otherwise, stop telling people what they need to do, because I'm not going to waste my time emailing someone and calling someone if nothing is going to be done about it.

You want real change? The media with the correct info can get real change done.

 

[jb865]

Perfect analogy..

Or when you are trying railroad your coach in and now are under a timeline to maintain control.

yep, Perfect!!!

I really thought I had stumped you. Are you Will Hunting?

Exactly. What would we do with the info anyway? It is equivalent to giving a bunch of rednecks a truckload of C-4. We'd blow stuff up, but probably none of us would live to tell about it.

If there is damning info and it is in the right hands, there's really nothing left for us to do at this point in that regard but to let it play out.

We can still make calls, send emails, etc. and try to get DavenCurrie out.

 

[Vol737]

ONLY if Haslam goes down. If he manages to wriggle out of it, nothing changes. He has not been indicted yet. Still could be, but it may be too late for it to benefit UT. The longer it takes, the more he can maneuver and pull strings and levers and get his people in place to do his bidding if/when he has to step away.

We may not have to wait for an indictment. The evidence that came out today in court, in a federal trial looks to be so damming that I see this could be low hanging fruit now for the other boosters. Everyone now knows, including his inner circle (boosters, admin, etc.) that he cannot be trusted and exercises poor judgment. This creates an opportunity to move him out of the way.

 

[RagingOrange]

I wish like h*** I knew something because you can believe me when I say I would be in here spilling. My. Guts.

Same in relation to the press.

Where is Hargis? He went dead quiet.

Sure he would love to take all the booster info air it out.

 

[tastycar]

I am still hurt you called me a "bad penny" :cray:

I needed a laugh today! Thank you!

For realz

It wasn't a revelation. It was mentioned in the FBI affadavits leading to indictments quite a while back. This is the first time jurors have heard it in court in this trial.

 

[MaTaLa]

Dude we get it and appreciate what you bring to the board. However, if it's as big as you are making it out to be, the right people clearly don't know. Time to elevate.

Easy for you to say

 

[FacelessArya]

No one is talking about hurting Gundy. Last I saw, he recently got a nice extension at OSU. This is entirely about FIRE BEFORE HIRE.

Dude. That’s what I’m saying. We are running out of time!!! Gundy is thinking about it. He could decide in mere hours to take this job.

Please don’t take this as me being rude, but I don’t trust that the boosters other than Haslam have any real power. They didn’t keep Hamilton, Hart or Currie out. They didn’t get Gruden in 2012, and we’re supposed to believe they have been working for 5 years to get Gruden and they were still bested by Haslam. And Haslam has won Peyton to the dark side.

It’s up to us to fight this. But you have to give us the goods.
