[VFL2098]

Haven’t been here all day. Instead of going back 100 pages. Can someone give me cliff notes version of any grumors?

Fulmer was in Atl. Then in Cincy. No way possible.
Then we realized they have things called airplanes.
Gruden had dinner at a steakhouse that was closed.
Actually had pictures to confirm it.
Then we hired Les Miles.
J.T said everything looks good with Gruden and will update us in the morning.

Gruden is coming!!

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Not Willy's his are good too but way overpriced. I'm on Northshore.

Cool. Have to try you out. Whats the name of the store?


Edit: is it the B&B one?

We know Gruden was at a steakhouse in Cincinnati for dinner. Someone from UT may or may not have been there. Knucklehead and others seem to think there was a meeting today. Who the heck knows

 

[Deerhunter47]

I still believe, Damnit!!! I'm still guaranteeing Gruden!!!! I'll be sure and talk to my main source tomorrow. I'm sure the vols are still "Bowl CUT Eligible" (edited for maximum obviousness)

But just wanted to check back here to see if anybody had any news on the little blonde bowl cut's imminent move to the hill.

I had a dream it was Gruden, with Tee as OC, Chavis at DC, Reggie Cobb was the running backs coach. Peyton was QB coach AL Wilson was linebackers coach. Reggie White was DL coach. Chad Clifton OL coach Dale Carter was coaching the secondary. and Carl Pickens was WR coach.

Ridiculous, I know. but a man can dream can't he?

EDIT: and yeah I know where the guy in my avatar played college ball. I still respect the guarantee. the avatar serves my needs here. I need the magic of broadway joe.

John "Thunder" Thornton

How made money: Residential development. Started out selling knockoff rugs, eventually selling to Mohawk Industries in 1993 for $34 million.
How much donated: N/A
School song/cheer: "Rocky Top"
Braggin' Rights: Sits on the University of Tennessee board of trustees, which oversee the state's major colleges. ... Longtime football coach Phillip Fulmer counts him among his best friends. Thornton is also tight with Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt. ... Behind-the-scenes player in Fulmer's bid to uncover dirt on Alabama football program.
The Buzz: After selling his rug company, "Thunder" gave $1 million to Tennessee for the chance to run with the football team through the "Power T" formed by the marching band during a game at Neyland Stadium. Money went toward an athletic student life center -- the Thornton Center. ... His Chattanooga home, a log-style Wyoming lodge design, is so massive it's called "Thunderdome."

Worked on that house many times inside and out. Put alot of treatment on those logs. Met Thunder several times.

Too late in the game for cryptology. Either share proof or we’re going to assume you’re trolling.

Geez. Some people are so ungrateful.

Was it showcased on one of the Log homes shows on HGTV or somewhere ? I’m pretty sure I remember it????

Pretty much. Exile and knuck do believe there was a meeting between PF and JG. No word on how it went ( if it went )

Lost all credibility with your assurance that UT is bowl eligible. 🤦🏼

Look at my past posts. I don’t troll and I don’t need e-cred. All I want is Gruden and I so happen to be fornate enough to go to UT and know several VFLs in which I call close friends, several influenciatial people, and some in the media. I’m just a working guy wanting UT back. Do as you wish With the info.

 

[BIGORANGEFISH]

Well he played for Belicheck for awhile. Its weird i know because we are Vol fans, but some coaches actually make their players better than what they were??? Strange i know.

What are those coaches like? We just pay our coaches 4.5 mil to make them "Life Champions"

 

[VeeOhElEsYes]

Thanks Sounds like another day of nothing lol

Gruden eating steak in a closed restaurant doesn’t pique your interest?

 

[volger]

Chavis > Steele

He is why he got three head coaches fired in 10 years. Let that sink in.

Some people get worked up over nothing. Some of us know these things take time and you just can’t come on here and spill all the beans at once. Thanks for your info!

Give me rundown on that ?

 

[Dtj64]

Can't believe that dude made it to the league.

He didn't do much here. He looked average at best. Good coaching made the difference I guess

 

[Deerhunter47]

it's a joke. 'bowl eligible" meaning "bowl cut eligible" meaning Gruden is in play

 

[Volfan76]

Exactly. They have the money.

wow...talk about a bad ROI

 

[Bluegrass Vol]

Well I was holding out for an update from Beaver or even Atlanta Vol....yeah I know Atlanta hasn't been here since the Schianimo, but I was hoping anyway.

Grude night!

Gruden to the Hill!

Soon!

He was talking about Jon's haircut. It was clever.
