Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIX

[1hunnit]

Elephant = Pruitt
Metal = Steele
Golf = Gruden
Bulldog = Tucker
Tiger = Tee
Clubhouse = Reference to Golf (aka Gruden)
The Jungle = Home (for the Tiger)

The clubhouse is Gruden’s coaching staff. He’s looking to fill positions. Pruitt is now the leader for DC, but Tucker wants the job and is still in the mix. Steele is out for DC. Tee is a done deal for OC.

this would force me to move to Knoxville and live outside the stadium if it came to fruit.

No way. If players had been told who the coach is, we'd all know by now. You can't get 20-year-olds with cell phones to keep a secret.

Believe what you want like I said. A player text somebody I know and said we have our coach. Then a couple more did. They would not giveup the name. Im not sure how many know.

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Fulmer has talked to Pruitt twice now.

Like we didn't already know?

 

[Orange Maniac]

John harbaugh. He trying to steal players from ole miss because their on probation. Everyone is there

Why would the Baltimore Ravens coach be trying to steal players? Jim, maybe.

 

[Vol-in-Bham]

My feelings as I grab a St. Bernardus Abt 12...

If we hire another joke coach, I can't spend my Saturdays watching garbage.

 

[Volgirl4u]

Ok so we know there would be a lot of leaks and rumors today. Some true and some not. I just retweeted someone saying the same thing. I think we just have to hold the line until we see who steps up to the podium. If it is a mediocre, more of the same hire, then we starting hitting them where it hurts ($$$) and raising caine. I’m over us being such a laughingstock in the SEC and ready to be great again. Let’s just chill and see what happens. GRUDEN TIL it ain’t!!!!

 

[ButchPlz]

I'm having a New Belgium 1554 tonight.

What's everyone else enjoying? May as well have a nice beverage rather than watch my beloved alma mater implode.

We will see how this Tennessee hire goes down in the next 18 hours, looks as though the Vols are leaning towards making a DC the next HC for Vols. Will say Fulmer has had plenty of candidates to interview in NYC & other spots over last few days.

thats his way of saying he doesnt know nothing..

I swear, it’s “the next 18 hours” every single freakin day, and it’s the same thing...nothing

 

[Grayvol4life]

Signing off. Its been a fun ride! SOON

 

[crparker21]

Any idea who?

I think it's Pruitt, but that is opinion.

 

[1hunnit]

no problem, we are in the "shootem when you see the whites of their eyes" mentality

understood

 

[VFL2098]

I was so excited earlier. I just knew at any moment we was going to hear some valid leaks about Gruden being our next coach. Now I’m just sick. If we don’t get him I feel like I have wasted so much time and money supporting this university that I love. My dad always says, you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to help themselves

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Venables

Yes, thanks SmokinBob!

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Preds up 4 to 0 over Dallas

With 7 mins to go in the second

 

[ButchPlz]

All this whole saga proves is that, as much as we want to believe, a lot of insiders and reporters are full of crap.

 

[supersmo18]

I’m out. Just ready for this to stop. Night y’all.

 

[865dude]

I like Pruitt, and I agree I don’t see why Tee would come here to be his assistant. He’s in a good situation at USC.

 

[SoKnoxVol]

Guys...no way the players are told while Phil is in NY. That’s one of the goofiest ones I’ve heard.

John was rumored for a brief moment some time back. Rumor was that he was the one that reached out to us.

Of course he would not be 'crutin players from anywhere at this point.

 

[DownTheField]

everything is stupid

 

[SLICKYINC]

It’s Pruitt

 

[10ecVol]

Fulmer has talked to Pruitt twice now.

Are you hearing this outside regular media? Excuse the questioning, but my understanding is that you have contacts.

 

[lifeVol]

Believe what you want like I said. A player text somebody I know and said we have our coach. Then a couple more did. They would not giveup the name. Im not sure how many know.

You just said earlier the players know ... do you think they'd just dole this info out to a select few players and not the team ? BS

 

[otis72]

everyone said not to long ago it was dan muffin to..
