Official Jon Gruden Thread XLV

[Volsfan458]

I think you are a wise man, Poppa.

So your source has an NDA but shared it with you?

Poppa may very well be a wise man, but you didn’t answer my question.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

I don't agree with the hire if it goes through, but this is funny and I actually like the guy for this:

Twitter

OK. That just changed my mind. I'm all in now. :rock:

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

I’m intrigued by the “blacking out of windows” comments.

Normal with the Governor in the room.

 

[Poppa T]

I think you are a wise man, Poppa.

Not so much, just been around the block a time or two. But thanks for the compliment.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

I wish people would stop doing this. Many of us are at work and social media is not allowed. Just post the dang thing.

It's a video.

I'd reckon no one expected Haslam to be such an idiot as to actually try and hire someone without their support. The boosters had to threaten to withdraw funding to make sure Schiano was fired, and now they're potentially left without that option to get Currie fired.

I don't think anyone could have game-theoried Haslam going straight Sherman on the coaching search. You can't plan for that kind of stupid. Haslam straight up destroyed any kind of trust the fan base had in the administration just for his own power or out of complete ignorance.

I thought, from what I've read here, that was pretty much what he did with Butch and Currie?

 

[Volontario]

Last time I say it.

I had a private conversation with knuck. He referenced his reaction to our conversation in a post here. People started calling him out over it, and I did not think that was fair. So I asked people to lay off of knuck for something that I had discussed with him. I did not bring the info on this board, and I will not.

The end.

You know what I mean. You also know why people are responding to it

 

[superdave1984]

The worst betrayal is Currie's.JMO.

You mean Haslam, right? Currie was just the messenger. He's just the guy doing the job. He's still a weak man though and should be removed from his position.

 

[SHOWOFF]

I wish people would stop doing this. Many of us are at work and social media is not allowed. Just post the dang thing.

Next time before I post, I will make sure to consult with all the people at work to see if this format is appropriate before I post.

Its a video of Jeff Brohm in the XFL, showing his toughness of a QB.

 

[Wild @s a Mink]

But he shared info with Knuck...unless Knuck is a client?

You really need to take a step back. Don’t be that guy. If VolinExile has already answered these questions numerous times then why answer for the 400th time.

Are you the guy chasing Currie around screaming Gruden?

 

[Vol_TCB]

Just the guy on here saying it was going on around 10-11 this morning. Someone asked Beaver on twitter and he didn't really confirm. Just said that if there were guards, then that meant the governor was there.

Governor aka Chairman of the BOT so yeah, probably so.

 

[DuckRiverVol]

Related to the post you commented on. Beaver repeatedly stated that "these guys never miss" and that they had 5 years to prepare for this. Then - if reports are to be believed - Haslam pulls the same thing he did in the past, used his placed people to go behind the backs of others to hire who he wants. If this group of powerful people was so prepared, how were they not prepared for the same tactic used in the past?

On top of that - if there was an agreement with Gruden that Currie did not follow up on (have seen this alleged) - why wouldn't the powerful boosters have been aware of this and done something about it.

In hindsight - some things aren't adding up.

Gruden is the next coach until you see someone else on the podium.

They knew what card Haslam would play.

We (the fans) were the smokescreen Sunday.

 

[rmh1104]

Rumor there is a clause in Brohm's contract allowing him to leave for Tennessee. More Sexton pecking order BS?

False,

I've read it.

[UTVolinExile]

Before you close the book forever. I hear you when you say you will not bring the info here.

But lets just play a hypothetical. If we do end up hiring some google coach. And Currie stays in office. We get on the suck train next year and are no better off than now.

1. Would you then share it on VolNation?
2. Would you regret not sharing it on VolNation sooner?

FYP, and can answer:
1. No.
2. No.

This is prime Hollywood material. Somebody get on this screenplay ASAP. Like a football version of "The Sting"

 

[UTVolinExile]

That's actually struck me as an overly dramatic flourish. But who knows.

 

[BubbaWms]

I’m intrigued by the “blacking out of windows” comments.

same here IF true....no pics shown yet from at least one student or someone in Knox reading this taking one for the team ??

 

[Devo182]

Brohm has been hired!!!

 

[volinSmyrna]

So, based off Beaver’s tweets, the meeting didn’t go well. See you guys in 3 years...Grumors 2020

 

[Poppa T]

So your source has an NDA but shared it with you?

Poppa may very well be a wise man, but you didn’t answer my question.

He can't, or won't. However you want to look at it. Buried back in the very early threads is your answer.

And if it were me, I would probably have deleted that answer.

Nope not that guy.

I’m just tired of cryptic responses and rumors. We are in the worst era of UT athletics, and the time to fix it is now. I’m not the only one who feels this way on this site.

 

[25801VOL]

I don't understand why there are all these conspiracy theories regarding The Beaver and Gruden.

I don't think Gruden was ever a realistic candidate.

Why can't we all just admit that we hung on beavers every post. We took vague statements and built all these scenarios that we wanted to be true.

The man is a troll. He put on a show and we fell for it. Now he's still championing his "save the University" cause, how can anyone truly take him for anything more than what he is? He's one of us.

 

[superdave1984]

Brohm has been hired!!!

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

Brohm has been hired!!!

Source?

Interesting.
