Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIX

[volinjackson]

Recruiting, won a 3 nattys as a coordinator for 2 different schools. Great scheme D. Saban taught. Regardless of your hate towards Saban and Alabama, thy have the keys to winning lately. I’d like someone groomed by him.

Dooley was "groomed" by Saban also. That worked out fantastic. :loco:

 

[reecetn]

Pruitt with Tee...Ok. Pruitt without Tee...Ehh. I don’t see Tee coming if Pruitt comes. But I know nothing.

This!!!

 

[Chilmonty]

Grude morning campers.

It's 3rd down let's go
It's 3rd down let's go
It's 3rd down let's go

Whatever.

Gruden all day.

Third Down....for What?? :blink::blink:

[Vol-in-Bham]

Curious- I can't find his tweet saying that. Did he erase?
Like to see a screenshot from someone if so.

Screenshot from last night before he deleted it

 

[Weezer]

Waiting on an official announcement, it feels like I'm waiting to get kicked square in the nuts. I apologize in advance to those in West Knoxville that may hear my loud cursing and screaming and crying and lots and lots of cursing.

 

[Coastypop]

Bill battle was a successful coach for the vols... There's no way that general Neyland would have disapproved of his work.

Either your memory is failing or your facts .... Battle tore down what Doug Dickey had built here ...

Had Dickey stayed as coach here instead of going to Fla it is would have been a dynasty like unto what Saban built at Bama

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Freak, in an all day meeting. Email alerts on? Please!

 

[Dudleys87]

Starting to really think that the HOH team were happy to have the Gruden rumor mill flying without offering a rebuttal. They could just sneak whoever the f*** they wanted in then and shrug off the fan base.

Imo they won again

 

[otis72]

just like yesterday..people hear fulmer reach out to some coach's ...next thing u know there leading to be the HC at Tennessee....first Steel,Tucker,now Puritt...so the truth is no one at this point knows...maybe we all find out today..but right now its just rumors,,,and i like Grumors better..SOON

You know he could just be a Dallas Stars fan...I wouldn't read too much into that

 

[ForkedDeerVol]

I have no idea what has happened since the weekend. I was told that Gruden was on the list. This did not come from a booster but from a dear friend of CPF. They talk almost daily. I do not have access to my source because of their job but I will find out the truth eventually . That's all I want . Gruden till it ain't

He groomed Dooley too. You had someone groomed by him. Which years was he a DC that won the national championship?

I get it that you want to convince yourself but don't embellish.

 

[Orange4Prez]

You must be the only one that watched him add them in real time.
This link shows CLows tweet from 8hrs ago state today would be Pruitts 2nd interview (1st tweet)

Chris Low (@ClowESPN) on Twitter

Lol ok. Believe what you want. Just passing along what I’m sure to be the case and what I’ve seen with my own eyes. Obviously anything can happen. Just temper your expectations is all.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Ok folks, everyone take your Xanax this morning and CHILL. I am not an insider but I do have common sense. I’m all in for Gruden and here’s why. I am not looking at a single piece of info but rather the collective info as a whole. If you don’t feel the same, then so be it. None of this makes sense to me unless I look at it collectively:
1) Grudens own statements along the way. Rocky Top song reference, never say never to nothing, awkward MNF thing, and NO public denial. Folks, IMO he may be a huge publicity seeking diva but his son goes to UT. We all saw the video of the obnoxious fan following Currie and tell me what parent sets their child up for that when a public denial could curtail some of that.
2). This group of boosters effectively mobilized Volnation and got the Shiano hire stopped. That had something to do with the boosters not wanting it,but WE were the voices that stopped it. These same folks who organized that whole deal, now are so inept that they can’t land a big name? Sorry, not buying it. I personally like MIT Beaver but I believe he was part of the plan to cause change in TN AD department. That whole plan was pretty dang complicated and well thought out in my mind.
3). How many times has the media told us we were close to a deal or had signed someone only for us to find out they were full of poop? Some of these coaches were not even offered deals but the media had a hayday. I think Fulmer and above mentioned boosters are throwing out all kinds of stuff as part of the plan. Now let’s move onto UTPaulVol and our beloved AtlVol. Folks, I think if UT was about to hire someone, AtlVol would be here to tell us that it wasn’t happening. He knows how we feel about our team and I just don’t see him letting us get a shock like that without a warning. Then UTPaulVol and his Gif gifts yesterday. I think that’s about telling GRUDEN to poop or get off the pot and then the suit is saying done deal and time to suit up. Paulvol did tell us couple days ago to put on our seatbelts and helmets and get ready cause it was going to get wild.
4) Fulmer loves this university and it has to have killed him to see it tank in the last few years. He can’t think that taking on another unproven promotion basically is going to get it done.

I think Gruden is involved in this and fully on the table. I don’t think he will take over until around Christmas. You may be looking at his staff being interviewed IMO

Only thing that bothers me with your synopsis here is that last line. They would not want to wait until Christmas when early signing day is in 13 days. That would be utter suicide. Of course they could also be thinking "hey early signing day is screwed for us so why not wait?" Hell I just don't even know anymore...

I love this girl, if anything else her brain.

 

[Squints]

Saw this on Twitter

Thanks for bringing it. I brought this up last night and said Pruitt was notoriously hated by UGA.

The love affair with subpar candidates needs to stop! With that said, should we end up with an underwhelming, uninspiring coach, I won't blame Fulmer. Anyone who does, apparently hasn't paid attention to the last ten years, and ultimately, the last 10 days. We did our part and it had to be done. I'm as proud as ever to call myself a Vol and to have been an active participant in the overthrow, but with a narrative driven power monger (and his stooge) laying waste, here's what you get. Everything Haslam has touched has turned to s***, Pilot Flying J, an NFL franchise and the Tennessee "doo doo" Browns.

 

[Dudleys87]

twitter has not changed, MIT_Beav here no additions nor any UT PaulVol late gifs....where ??

Curious- I can't find his tweet saying that. Did he erase?
Like to see a screenshot from someone if so.

It was erase almost immediately after it was posted

 

[volinjackson]

I think I may actually start supporting Memphis.
They seem to take winning more seriously than UT and I live closer anyway.
Bleh.

I enjoy watching Memphis play also and they are closer to home.

 

[Leximax]

Yes! Maybe in the pub or the endzone. I don't do the Facegrams or the Snapbooks either. I made a twitter just for this past week, but I don't plan to utilize it much.

Same. I don’t think I can start a thread yet. I nominate you to start the Charlotte group!

 

[Vol-in-Bham]

[SaEve81]

Some of these negative cats in here are living rent-free in the rest of y'alls minds. They're spreading false info and betting that you won't fact check it. Have a Google page open to check, at least, before you lose all hope! Please.

[Voluntarist]

Let’s say in a crazy, crazy world Gruden was still a chance... do we think our meltdowns about it while smoke is everywhere are helping to finalize the deal? Calmates...

Well as a Vol you should be use to it

It’s fair to say at this point Currie was a 5M dollar sacrificial lamb
