Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVI

[CS_VFL_7]

Come on folks. We hire a pirate at a school with the "Vol Navy"? With his quirky personality? Pure f'ing marketing gold. He's the anti-Butch.

I will keep the Banquet Beer in the fridge at all times in case Mike wants to come aboard my vessel before games. I expect he'll embrace our tradition like no other coach before him.

I wanted Gruden badly but Leach is a fine plan 'B'. His teams will be fun to watch and Neyland will be packed.

The Currie/Haslam siutauon is still a problem. For now, though, all go to sleep tonight a little more hopeful than the last 3-4 nights.

we don't need a pirate with a quirky personality that likes banquet beer

I, like many others would like to see more wins than 7 or 8 and contend for the east every year, instead of more complacency

are we hiring a coach to watch his after game press conference and giggle? pretty sure Saban wasn't hired for quirkyness or dumba** press conferences that often leave you dumber than you were before it even started

And throw players in a dark room

Oh you mean the player who had a concussion? Don't you think maybe he was trying to help the kid?

Plus it was Craig James and his kid, no telling how truthful their story really was.

Fun fact, Craig James killed five hookers while at SMU

 

[UTVolinExile]

The speed with which so many people in here have just rolled over is astounding and sad. Ya'll are just lumps of clay in the puppeteer's hands as the master plan is working again: If the powers that be just wait long enough, ya'll will smile as you're molded into whatever the hell the HOH decrees. It's pathetic...

I haven't stopped fighting. Just very troubled by what I'm hearing of the people supposedly fighting for us at the higher elevations.

 

[volgr]

ESPN reporting a deal, at this time, is not imminent.

 

[wildorange]

Leach's record SUCKS! Don't fall for this BS!

 

[wbailey7]

Leach is 68-67 in 6 years at Washington State. That not points scored it's WINS and LOSSES. That isn't solid it's mediocre! Them are the facts, it all comes down to wins and losses. Don't tell me he is solid, if he is 500 in the pac in 6 years what makes anyone think he will succeed at UT in the SEC. I don't do twitter but someone post the FACTS!. JUST FIRE CURRIE!!!!!

68-67 in 6 years? Dang. How many games do they play a year out west?

You sir are FAKE NEWS!!!

Read that wrong almost shat my pants. Eyes are so tired..

And what are you hearing Exile?

Have they given up or been bought off?

The fans are doing their part

Folks that twitter and E-Mail need to post his record at Wash St, that's what it comes down too and his is not good. Not at all folks.:rock:

Go away fake news.

 

[UTSuave’]

1. You apparently don’t know that entire story. 2. Taking people out of direct light is what you are suppose to do to people who get concussions.

Try again

Talk to Craig James then I know nothing I guess.point is he has a bad rep at Texas tech and with the players that were there

 

[Arpitpatel86]

Mike Leach of Washington State met with Tennessee athletic director to discuss coaching vacancy

38-37 corrected. STILL mediocre don't ya think, typo but still the FACT remains it's AVERAGE and that is not fake news!.:rock:

And I suppose you was with him while he was killing the hookers?!! Don't answer that I don't care and please tell me why his son would lie about something like that or as to why he was even in a dark room?! There are many of other ways to deal with a concussion protocol he got in trouble for it for a reason

No they aren’t. They haven’t said anything

Edit: I stand corrected

 

[zydane47]

38-37 corrected. STILL mediocre don't ya think.:rock:

Question how did you feel about Brohm possibly being hired?

 

[Bluegrass Vol]

Boom! 3rd shift pour on more steam!

 

[wildorange]

Go away fake news.

38-37 in 6 years at Wash St, look it up. Nothing fake about it at all. I edited didn't mean to hit the 6, but just quit with your fake news.:rock:

 

[UTVolinExile]

And what are you hearing Exile?

Have they given up or been bought off?

I'm concerned that the people who were fighting against Haslam influence at higher levels may have agreed to Leach.

Currie is still AD.

Agreeing to a coach, any coach, while Currie is employed at UT is absolutely a win for Haslam as far as I am concerned. If someone, anyone, would care to come in and argue that it would be anything other than a Haslam win, I will hear you out.

Good luck with that.

exactly what I was thinking, every other time its been: email email tweet tweet

now it's like oh it's Leach, he'll be a pirate in the vol navy

I guess no more post after post of "fire Currie!!" "we can't let this happen!!"

It's a running joke dude, calm down

Also if you read the articles about it, it appeared that James's son was mad cause he was demoted, Craig found out and then hell broke loose

Craig and his son basically tried to blackmail TT for $60k, wanted a written apology from Leach, Leach maintained he did nothing wrong and so TT fired him

It was a bigger mess in their AD than ours has ever done

 

[JawjaVol]

I know you haven’t, and I hope you didn’t think I was aiming my comment at you. Just so many others that are so quick to settle, and then rationalize how it’s not settling.

Well that sucks, so the fans pretty much were made to look stupid after all is said and done?

I agree this most likely a Haslam win, just can't see why if the others boosters were that pissed, that they would just settle like that

Spineless, the lot of them
