Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIV

[tastycar]

Long or Short version?

I'll take any version. I wasn't here last night after 10 or so and hardly much today.

 

[supersmo18]

well, i'm lost.
long day at work, too much to get caught up on (although i tried).

sounds like currie/haslam is gonna hire somebody before they can be ousted.
knuck's throwing up somewhere. somebody knows something to take down haslam.

what's going on? summary please.

Pretty much been that all day.

 

[rdavis007]

What's the latest from AV? It has been awful quite from those in power. What's the priority of those that can influence the university? Gundy, Petersen, Patterson, Frost? Onlyrics seen one of those names approached since the weekend.

 

[ButchPlz]

He said he wasn’t putting it out! Why can that not be good enough for some of you. GO to your safe place. This is ours.

Because blindly following along to stuff has burned us repeatedly, maybe?

 

[Grand Vol]

I have always heard his wife is the motivating factor for him to stay in OK...any insight into that?

If Momma's happy, everyone's happy.

We'll leave it at that.

 

[FacelessArya]

Okay, something I'm not getting. Dots aren't connecting.

Allegedly Peyton called Gundy last week and talked up the Vols. This is according to ESPN which I'm not sure I believe. I think somewhere just above supermarket tabloids is their domain at the moment. However, if true...

If Currie had his man Schiano, why would or how come Peyton is calling another coach to gauge interest when he was all but signed?

Separate paths?

We’re gonna hire Mike Gundy and it’s gonna be the most fun in Knoxville since 98

I’m just an old peckerwood who lives in the hills with to many guns.

 

[VolNate]

So everyone keeps telling me what to do, but keeps ignoring me when I say that THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO DO SOMETHING HAVE THE INFO.

Maybe I need to bold it too.

THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO DO SOMETHING HAVE THE INFO.

I'm finished for now. Y'all email or tweet or argue about a coach or how stupid people are who bring info to boards. I will keep trying to push FIRE BEFORE HIRE. Y'all do whatever. :hi:

Exile, some get what you’re doing and some never will. I for one thank you.

 

[LAVol1]

I specifically said what I thought people could be doing. It was either ignored or not what people wanted to hear.

I posted Fire before Hire on 247. There seems to be little interest in mobilizing to fire Currie. Some think he is toast but we are better off not firing him before we make a hire, saying it will make a hire more difficult.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

What I'm finding off is how the whole Schiano deal was quiet. Literally, no one saw that coming until the Sunday news reports started leaking. Up until then, we had no clue who was and who wasn't being considered. Now, all of a sudden, we're hearing everyone that's being talked too. This tells me one of three things: 1) Currie and Haslam knew no one would be happy with the Schiano hire so they did it behind our back, 2) we're now leaking everyone we're talking to in order to provide cover for someone bigger (my hopeful pipe dream), or 3) they screwed up royally and now want us to see they're actually "meaning business" this time around (probably the more realistic). Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but can someone please explain how this crook is still our AD??

 

[Grand Vol]

I have always heard his wife is the motivating factor for him to stay in OK...any insight into that?

And I will say she's a very nice, down to earth lady the few times I've run into her.

 

[Behr]

Long version. Don’t want to miss the key points lol

Good to the first post in this thread. Read until you get your answer. It's there in detail.

:hi:

 

[Sstterry]

Disgusting is a pretty strong word to describe something that's bad.

And really bad if it disgusted Knucklehead

 

[vol9799]

Speculation: The governor came out and said unequivocally on the record that he had no involvement in the Schiano hire and neither did his brother Jimmy. Someone somewhere has incontrovertible proof that this is a lie. Maybe the governor wasn't involved and maybe Jimmy lied to him. Either way, it's not good.

As I've said before, a good investigative journalist could turn this into a Watergate level windfall for themselves. Bill Haslam had no part in Sunday, but the idea that Jimmy is innocent is laughable. He has crossed lines that would even make Bob Woodward wet his pants.

 

[UTVolinExile]

Exile...I wish you had not said anything...I know why you did....please dont let these guys get to you...I would hate for you to disappear...we need you and Knuck here!

Not disappearing. I said what I said because it wasn't fair to knuck that people were calling him out. Now they can call me out instead.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

THats why you have to make your own decisions to who and what you want to believe or stand by.

 

[Coastypop]

I have to agree with Tasty on this. Exile and Knuck clearly need attention. The 100% done deal with Gruden attention is gone, but instantly they have huge inside information that is too huge to share. So big that they can't even share it behind a screen name. I would imagine one of them has the inside scoop on what happened with JFK, and the location of Bigfoot. Sorry insiders, but you deserve a hard time because you either don't have a source or have bad sources.

Wait a dad gum minute.... I know where Big foot it....

Good point.
Haslam ran Peyton's name through the dirt..that seems desperate.

No one is going to believe that Peyton was a Schiano promoter. Desperate, indeed.

You just gave one.

 

[UTSuave’]

2% chance it happens. It would be a miracle with the current team in place.

I hope this team that's working to remove them is in their ass deeper than George Michaels, get his ass Beaver

 

[Grand Vol]

They slapped Peyton’s name in there to try to salvage it. That’s why EVERYBODY is reporting his talks with Gundy now. To make it clear Peyton wasn’t the one pushing Schiano.

This is certainly plausible.

I can't believe I fell for that. I am a dullard.

Seconded

Peyton sure has a slander lawsuit building. Or he’s really a PFL.
