Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVI

[Squints]

Is that the same knife that Phil used on Johnny?

Just stop. John Majors was given more than ample time and chances. Majors has no one to blame but himself. He forged the knife that ousted his career.

 

[tvolsfan]

I believe Haslam is about to pull his last gambit.

They are going to try to sell you on Tee as HC.

They hope this will make you cheer and accept a Haslam Hire.

If Tee is hired by this administration, they will remain in power.

They will do their utmost to destroy Tee if he accepts.

If he accepts and fails, they will crow that it was "all the fans fault."

And the cycle will continue.

DO NOT FALL FOR IT.

There is nothing that will cause the fan base to stop loving the idea of Tee as coach, no matter how crazy.

 

[Poppa T]

62 yrs. old. Hasn't coached in years. NO way.

Vol Colonel qualified it saying it was just speculation. Said he heard Arky had approached him and he declined, but showed intererest.

Fact..get to twitter

I thought I spotted Currie in friendsville next to my moms house. I'm good friends with our coach down here. He was adamant he has no desire to leave our middle school team for any amount of money. School is renegotiating his contract.

You may not be wrong. I have been hearing a lot of chatter about Tee over the last few hours and not from VFL's...

 

[Leximax]

First. Gruden is a coward

Have I been here long enough to say it...


GTFO

If Tee, a VFL, turns us down it will be on like donkey kong.

 

[Sara Clark]

Sara, have you gotten the word out on Twitter about the protest?

Yes, I looked at the statistics and it had reached over 3,000 people. I'm going to send another tweet out in the morning, again tomorrow evening.

I’m sure the same thing has been said about Peyton but they are turning on him awful fast

How can this be stopped if true? Half the fanbase was asking for Tee after the Schianimo...

If only there was someone who knew Tee personally, and might be able to talk him into not accepting anything.

If a VFL wants to come back to try to save this program I'll get behind him. Sorry, but I will. I'll still send emails, but there's no way in hell I'll do anything to make Tee look bad publicly.

I'll do the same right now

okay, couple three things:
1) the majority of fan base will eat this up
2) if bev and dipietro veto, it doesn't matter
3) boosters gotta get it done ...

you are right ... one last hail mary (as it were)

oh, and one last thing ... would Tee take it, if he knew he was going to be Gruden's OC?

 

[Squints]

No we weren't.

 

[Orange&White]

We have had a good run, but I honestly do not see how we would or could boycott a Tee hire. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase would accept that hire, and rightfully so. I think that's where the boosters opposing Haslam would need to step in and do their part. We have seen all these cryptic statements and "sources," yet what have the people with real influence done to help this cause? And I do not mean rejecting the Schiano deal, but to overthrow Haslam and Currie. The only way to do that is when people with real power and money within the University take a stand.

No HC should have to work for this AD and Haslam..

Not Tee or anyone else!

 

[Dudleys87]

There is nothing that will cause the fan base to stop loving the idea of Tee as coach, no matter how crazy.

I don’t think he will regardless.

It’s been said before that Tee is a rockstar legend in Knoxville. Why would he risk coming back and putting it on the line. If things go bad he’s hated forever

 

[VOLFAN_MTSUALUM]

If he is talking to Tee, and Tee was rumored to OC/HCIW for Gruden, wouldn't he turn it down let Currie get fired? He could then take that position once Blackburn and then Gruden is hired?

 

[Squints]

You won't have to.

Same could be said about Gruden.

Groupies now?

It looks like 13 of them

So how to fight this? Definitely do NOT want Vol Twitter railing/turning on Tee. He is a VFL and deserves a shot, but only if Haslam is out.

There have been some asinine comments in these threads but this one takes the cake. If a VFL who gave his blood sweat and tears to this program and brought us a national title wants to coach here then by God I’m going to support him and hope he wins every game.
