Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIX

[slobberknocker]

What if they do wait until after the playoffs? Remember Gruden did say he has the utmost respect for other coaches. Is he wanting to allow them to get through the season before we drop the hammer?

Sounds super legit at this juncture.

Get the **** out of here lol if they do that it's a wrap I'm done I would still go with less miles

 

[Grand Vol]

I personally don't think he would deny that (I'll ultimately let him speak for himself). I have noticed where he gives the fans tremendous credit for what happened.

About time you showed back up.

 

[VFLnSFD]

Have you talked to your Homie? I miss seeing him on here!

He misses y'all too.

So much for that whole "Fulmer interviewing assistants theory"

Were gonna be a Bama bastard child

Lol. My 9 year old son had as much say in this search as you. You have a self importance deficiency. I feel sorry for you. Shame on you. MIT my ass. More like University of Phoenix Beaver.

Calm your Tits, Nancy

Unfortunately he's about to hire his buddy Kevin freaking Steele just because he's a UT grad! Worst hire we could make-Phil is already failing as new AD.

He can’t hire Steele. That would really lose the fans.

Exactly. These are 3 year olds that their mom tells them they are going to Wal-Mart to buy the Turbo Man doll. His mom has the money to buy Turbo Man and the willingness to do it. They get to the store and there are NO Turbo Man dolls. Instead of being angry with the producer and/or supplier of Turbo Man, these kids get angry and yell at their mom for not buying them one.

Mom should say, "If they have the product, and are willing to sell it for a price I am willing to spend, then we will get it."
Not: "It is a done deal."

 

[Grand Vol]

I give a lionshare of the credit to Volnation. You will never hear me say otherwise. I am speaking specifically towards that one poster.

Good.

Now that I have your attention, care to answer the question I posed the other day?

You can DM me if you like.

 

[revjayp]

🙄 Who...please

He said he got a text from someone that said we were interviewing a canidate with NFL ties... I guessed Kacy Rodgers because they were still in NYC, he’s a TN guy and he was mentioned early on.

Now wait a minute. Why has Fulmer been running everywhere acting like he is putting together a staff?

Lmao

I think we are all rather disappointed, but let’s keep it civil. Ultimately we can either get on board with Pruitt or take our loyalty and money elsewhere. I haven’t decided what I’ll do yet. I’m still holding onto a tiny shred of hope that perhaps we will be pleasantly surprised.

You wannabe troll slayers just take up space on the board with your fixations.

For those that really think Beaver/wormburner did us some great justice and became our social media warrior, you don’t really understand how Twitter works. Most of his tweets to start were protected lol. He was only visible to those who followed him! Please stop falling for trolls like this guy, he prays on your hope and BVS.

If you don't understand how media/strategy works, then it probably doesn't make sense. This is a closed universe of players. By keeping his posts protected, he made his twitter a commodity. By building desire, he built a following. Think about it this way, I made a twitter for the sole purpose of messaging him. I now have 50+ followers, purely because I was followed by him. I've never tweeted, or anything. Like it or not, he did build brand image, and did so in a very informed and strategic way.

His message was widely shared, he got plenty of views, and he became a talking point in the discussion. Believe him or not, you have accept those facts.

Additionally, its all about framing. Did he "pray" on hopes, or did he use our hopes as fuel for raising consumer expectations? Did he troll us, or did he take some inside information and leverage it towards an objective?

This "b'b'b'but beav, you proooomised us Gruden." sentiment is childish and ignorant. You are a d*mn adult. It is not anyone's fault but your own if you buy into hype and it doesn't come to fruition. Stop blaming other people because your hopes didn't become reality.

Beaver talking to us didn't make Gruden an impossibility or any less likely. Him posting here didn't directly make any big name coach unwilling to come here.

Had Currie not tried to shove Schiano/Doeren down our throats, we would have gladly turned our Gruden optimism into delight for a competent coach.

 

[bray2milton]

Please tell me where the “grown folks” are. All I see is you acting like a 3 year old that didn’t get the toy (Gruden) at Wal-Mart you thought you were promised. Now you’re just lashing out.

Hey slick. I wanted Gruden but had the foresight to know it wasn’t actually a possibility. I am asking the king troll why he was trolling. Mind your own interactions.

There is a chance of that. If it was Pruitt, you would think that it already would be announced.

Well McAdoo just got fired. He's in NY.

 

[TruVolGritt]

That's that car wreck you see coming and can't not watch except GV decided to have popcorn watching it 🤣🤣🤣

 

[HearForGrumors]

About time you showed back up.

Haven't left, just didn't have anything to add. I only jump in when I feel like I have something to contribute.

 

[wildorange]

Manning to the HILL! He's getting his assistants for him. Heck may as well through it out there, every other name has been. LOL!

 

[jakez4ut]

have we seen behr yet? i mean good grief.

 

[Kid Deezy]

You wannabe troll slayers just take up space on the board with your fixations.

Are you not doing the same thing? :birgits_giggle:

 

[Sudden Impact]

I can get on board with that. He's not Orange, but would be open to Orange staff members. I've bee. Saying for days/ weeks, that he is the most highly qualified guy out there based on resume.

I wish I knew what had happened there.

Can you speculate as to what happened with Miles...only speculate...Miles my 2nd choice...

Been here for a long time, 1st live game as a child was Syracuse vs Vols...been a fan since.

 

[bray2milton]

You are looking awfully desperate. If you don't like Beaver and what he brought, don't read it. Simple fix.

I am asking legit questions about statements he made that not only I but other people want answered. He is a poser.
