Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIX

[Sara Clark]

I don't see him saying anything about another coach during the introduction presser for the new one he just hired.

To me that would be disrespectdul to whoever it is.

I don't think there will be a peep spoken about Gruden from anyone until some time passes by.

Nor do I think he would do a stupid thing like that during a presser. It would have to be done well ahead.... in the media to get the fan base behind a low level hire. That's why I think it will be a pleasant surprise if not Gruden.

 

[84Volfan]

Got a question. Do yall still think that the haslams are still pulling the strings? I mean how are we looking at coordinators now.

They will be pulling the strings until the family dies off.

Personally, my temper got much harder to lose after this debacle of a season and complete FUBAR coaching search.

I just can't stand that type of mentality. It's like a little kid.

I'm a grown ass man. You want to go preach to someone go yak at your kids. They may have to take it, I don't.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Not anymore my friend. A new day has arrived! Patience - hard work and Tennessee will be back where it belongs!

We've been USC East, watered bamboo, and laid bricks. The fans are tired of working. Just hire us a decent coach who can at least win the division by year 2.

 

[Coastypop]

You can lead a horse to water...

That was my early argument as well :hi:

I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. From what everyone is saying the presser could be today or tomorrow. Not much time if he is going to.

As quietly as he has kept this i bet he doesn't say a word.

I'm really curious who the mystery candidate that has been mentioned by several people is. I think Trey Wallace and some Celina person are two of the bigger "insiders" that have alluded to it.

Yet, just like many others they allude to it but have no real names to associate with it.

Hey guys and gals,I know this may not be the place but I sure could use ya'lls prayers this morning. My beautiful Grandmother passed this morning. She was 94 and the biggest Lady Vol fan that has ever been. I'm just numb right now

 

[Coastypop]

I bear no I'll will towards anyone that brought info.

Some will lose their minds, blame and point fingers. Like kids pitching a fit.

If people want to troll that's their business. The only thing I'm responsible for is me, what I choose to believe, and how I react to it.

Trust me, I have a temper but I choose to save it for things that mean something in my life, not what someone tells me on a message board.

Not that some idiot coming in and telling all of us how delusional we are can't get me going. 😉😉

I have zero tolerance for a busy body or an "I told you so." Worry about yourself. I'll be just fine.

I agree.... I don't have any ill will toward any that brought their information and gave their honest opinion.. and I alone am responsibly for what I choose to buy into and choose to believe.

The only problem I ever had was when someone (not anyone in particular but in general) acted arrogant and got angry when a question was asked, whether positive or negative Gruden.

Prayers sent, friend.

I agree, they are shooting for clicks, follows, etc but Trey Wallace saying it caused a small blip on my radar.

Sorry for your loss.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I think that a lot of the administrative people believe the Gruden is such a pipe dream that for them to even address it undermines their professional credibility. Just like professors in the anthropology department aren't going to have serious press conferences about sasquatches and unicorns.

I am so sorry to hear, you and your family will certainly remain in my prayers

Prayers. Lost my grandmother a little over a month ago.

Prayers friend, there has been a lot a bad news such as this in this particular thread the past few days. Puts things in perspective...

The news of a "no" from Gruden would only take a couple of hours to sink in with the fan base and get them mentally prepared.

 

[sdvolunteer]

We need positivity

 

[Sara Clark]

Sorry to hear your news this morning. Grandparents are special, nothing can replace them...prayers!

 

[buckfama]

I don't think they say a word. Not even Gruden.

We will see.

I'm like you though. It would be nice to know they definitely tried.

 

[IN Jed]

Do we get the official shoot down at 7:05 this morning by Gruden on Mike and Golic?

 

[VolNate]

My biggest concern. He does well at UT. Saban retires. And we have another Lane Kiffin.

Agreed. When Momma calls.....
