Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVI

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Leach wouldn’t be a bad hire. But the pattern of Schiano to Gundy to Brohm to Doeren to Sumlin makes zero sense. Think he’s throwing a dart at a list of coaches? Honestly. It’s madness.

Stalling for MNF season to end.

 

[SoKnoxVol]

I suspect the same scenario that we saw with Gundy when it comes to Leach. He’s gonna get a raise and a little extension and that’ll be that.

On a tin foil hat crazy note....Deerhunter!! I believe!!

 

[tennvols77]

I posted the other day that by not doing anything for this university monetarily and seeing the sh** show and being reminded of why I haven't donated for quite some time because honestly, I've viewed the entire UT administration and it's incompetence spread to the Athletic side, that right now reminds me of just why it is important t get and be involved, same as politics.

I'm embarrassed ashamed, pissed, let down, tired, and just down right disgusted with what perception this University has allowed itself to be exposed as.

Yesterday, I had 241 people help, they never laughed, feigned, paused, or hesitated to help with my request.

241 emails sent, to 6 emails @ utk
241 tweets, followed tweets
194 calls to at least 1 number
241 facebook posts, at least once

Of the 241, multiple of each were done multiple times by 185

Yes, I spent last night calling and texting and emailing all of them! Thanking them!

My thoughts exactly! It’s like Currie has his assistants picking random numbers on his coaching list and that’s who they interview next. It makes 0 sense that you offer Schiano before Gundy and Doeren before Leach.

These people come from all walks of life, from childhood and college and neighbors and friends and business associates.

They did what they did because they know UT means something to me, I was born by the grace of God in UT hospital, I was raised with orange because my dad got a few degrees from UT.

I attended UT with some childhood friends who unbeknownst to me were at UT! I bleed orange, and love what UT is to me. I got to see the glory years and the national championship while at UT, and football is the extension of this university nationally.

I guess that just on this board we are the freaks of the UT community. We are the die hard weirdo's, and whether on the /Gruden train or not, we represent the most loyal of the UT crazies.

I resemble these remarks 😄

 

[tennvols77]

This board has people from all walks of life, but, we all love UT with a passion almost only equal to military serviceman and women and that community.

I pray that we are lifted from this sideshow and into the the main stage and the nation can see a little of what we do, when were are winning and the crowds are uncontrollable and the people are 100% emotion and fire.

We desreve better! We deserve to be proud! We deserve to have that feeling that we once did, and God help us, we are giving back that by this administration!

You mother f****** on the Hill better get this done and get it done right! We the fans, deserve it!

Walking out the door for work and had to check the mood in here before I left. This can't be the end to our 30 for 30....we did all of this to eventually get Leach. Don't think he's a terrible coach, but it's bigger than him, it's about coming out of the oppression the administration has keep us in for so long. Seems like we were making progress, now, Mike freaking Leach?!? Everybody has to keep focused on what we are doing here, this is about the future of our program, not the here and now. If we don't fix it now, we will just continue to spin out of control with the out of touch powers that be on the hill. #firecurrietoday

It just means...more.

The Orange .. The River.. Rocky Top .. He loves that Song...It ...just ..means .....More..

[Sara Clark]

Start sending Mike Leach tweets encouraging him to run from the Currie/Haslam Hell!

 

[Behr]

Why stop when you're about to bayonet your enemy in the heart? I'm confused and need some clarity. This will need spelled out to me in black and white, no cloak and dagger sh**.

I can't answer, but I agree.

Reminds me of a line in the movie Young Guns.

You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan?

This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game." I shall finish the game, Doc.

When you've lost all credibility and are a laughing stock the pertinent thing to do is to hire a comedian. How far we have fallen. Dark days man. Spurrier is laughing soooo hard I bet.

Do you know why Spurrier wears a visor?

To hide the circumscision mark. lol:

No.

It’s early but you’ve got my vote for best post of the day!

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

So, is Leach our guy or are we going to get left standing at the altar again?

 

[EastTN]

I thought last night Deerhunter said it was Gruden? And all these names were being thrown out to buy a few more days time? Or did he get busted to be a troll? I missed the night shift

 

[Kodak VFL]

If I understand correctly (which is unlikely), we don't want to get "married" until Currie is gone. Once he is gone, many coaches who have said "no", would be more than willing.

 

[Wild @s a Mink]

I think standing at the altar. Don’t see Bev putting this thing through.

But I still wanna know WHY Currie is being allowed to head this search.

I told him that if his prediction comes true I'll send him a nice Christmas gift. We'll see.

I'll give him a little leeway with the timing, but, we'll see.

Don't know. I hope he turns us down. Wish he would tell Currie that no one will go to Tennessee until they pull their heads outta Haslam's butt.

This is the attitude we need from the big donors.

I couldn't agree more. There is no rhyme or reason to Currie's approach to this thing at all. Such a poorly executed cluster ___.

 

[Bigworm87]

Just think...if it's leach, no more robotic press conferences. That alone eases my mind a little.
