Everyone please take your pills.

Good to hear from you Boro! Whats your thoughts on the radio reports

 

[VinnyWho]

Not one bit!

 

[patrick]

Hey Carter. Are you saying that Hart was supposed to be meeting with Gruden today?

And did that meeting occur? or do you know whether the meeting actually took place?

Thanks.

 

[angrypug]

Will someone call Janet and get this mess sorted out? Maybe we can become friends with every Janet on facebook til we find the right one?

 

[bignewt]

I dont see Golden being able to recruit worth a darn. Prove me wrong.

 

['Boro-vol]

Here is the thing. All you have ever said is that its Gruden 100% give some reasons why. You can't just expect to have everyone come up to you on their knee's and think everything you say is the gospel without giving any reason. Especially now when everything you say is being challenged. See reputable people are telling things that are happening not just saying "just wait" and you expect everyone to just chill out cause you said "Chill out people, its gonna happen"

If you were here early on, you know what I posted. I have never attempted to convince anyone or sway opinion. I don't really care what you think if whether you chill out or not.

If the information I've brought ends up being wrong, and we end up hiring another coach Ill be here. At that time you'll be free to flame and gloat. I stopped my day to post because people were calling for the OG's to address the latest rumor. Nothing has changed from my source. I have nothing to post.

 

[volatil]

And if He gets Gruden then....
He is the man. And a legend...it's his résumé he's working on here people. Chilllllll.

He has to get him now. My point is, he has pretty much set himself up for failure if he doesn't come.

 

[RagingOrange]

I can't understand yall sometimes. Hyams is FOS when he says we're not talking to Gruden. Basically says that it's not happening and he has no sources. Now he says his sources tell him a meeting was canceled and his sources are legit. SMH.

This.

 

[865dude]

Pure speculation on my part, but who's to say meeting was cancelled because no other details to be worked out and Hart and Gruden want it spun as a negative for a few more days?

Why would they want it to be spun negative for a few more days lol! If it was a done deal it would be announced already!

 

[salutethehill]

You guys that say that, if we hire so-and-so, you're "done" - how is that even possible?

 

[MWAVolfan]

You know the trolls are here when half of the posters on a page are on ignore.

How do you know that? Just curious?

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

His post smells of rich mahogany!

And scotch.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

If we find out hart is meeting with other candidates it means Gruden said, "no thanks!"

No it doesn't. Means we have a back up plan.

 

[VolFan32]

who's to say there was ever a meeting planned to begin with?

This, too. But I believe Carter when he said he got word of one.

 

[Volholic]

VN is in total meltdown and it is all because of Hyams. Hilarious.

Remember when we were mad that no one was reporting anything about Gruden? And that media steam would start to pick up leading up to Friday? Now we get media steam picking up -- now admitting we are going after him -- and everyone loses it.

Fact: Hart fired Dooley before Kentucky game. If we didn't have our guy, why not trot him out against KY while you continue your search? Yea fans would be mad, but it doesn't really matter because you're not going to a bowl either way.

Fact: We have $18 million back from no longer donating to University. This mysteriously happens a few days after firing Dooley. Do you need $18 million to hire anyone else?

Fact: Neither UT nor Gruden have officially squashed the rumor. One of the two had the perfect opportunity to do so. The other one either has the worst PR department in the entire NCAA by not squashing it, or knows something is up and has been told not to talk.

Fact: Hart has been spotted at sporting events like Lady Vols Soccer, Men's Basketball, etc... instead of doing his most important job, the hire that drives the Athletic Department? Illogical.

Fact: Hyams has been a day late and a dollar short several times. See: Kiffin hire.

Fact: Hyams works for the radio station most closely associated with UT.

Fact: We have (publicly) been on the coaching search for well over a week. We're just now interviewing? Illogical.

Fact: Saban and Meyer both denied involvement with their universities 4 days before accepting.

Fact: Nothing has leaked from AD this entire time. First leak is a negative to get off back of Gruden. Why would you leak that? Illogical unless to get pressure off Gruden, set up Hart as the AD who "rescued" the deal.

Fact: Gruden has been waiting to get every last penny from Tampa Bay firing. Unknown when that last check hits, but could be reason to make a delay happen.

Fact: Ownership changes in NFL require NFL Owner's approval. No one offered anyone a $100 million stake in the Browns. Gruden can easily deny this, but note how quickly he moved on.

Smoke, all of it.

No inside info, just my two cents.

Hasn't Hubbs squashed it now... Just after reporting positively this morning?

 

[MFL]

Everything is a 'smokescreen'.

Amen brother....but a smokescreen for what purpose just to keep VOLNATION's thread count up and Tennessee football in the dumps

 

[CWGvol]

Really does look like a deflection in wake of this mornings interview with Gruden and news out of Memphis. Hyams has had jack$hit and all of a sudden today he has news that a meeting was cancelled....what???

This!....... Is all this over what Hyams is saying? It just proves he lied either then or now.

 

[RagingOrange]

Everyone please take your pills.

Dammit Boro, where is the new Gruden hiding place...sheeeit!!

You said "take your pills". Your posts ARE our pills. thanks for coming on and posting

 

[865dude]

You want to chase off a potential coach? Try this....

Dumbest fan base on earth no wonder why they believe everything they read online!

 

[tomq_123]

IF, and I mean IF there is truth to this, Gary Patterson is one of the few names that would keep me giving a **** about UT football. Sorry I enjoy UT football, no other sports except outdoors stuff. I can only honestly say I would maintain my enthusiasm and contributions with very few hires outside Gruden. Patterson is one of them.

I totally agree. Possibly Tressel or Petrino if we don't get Gruden. But none of this Fisher, Golden, Strong, etc....

 

[SmokinBob]

Turncoat!

I am working in the pensacola surrounded by FL, AL, MS, LA fans and still hold my Tennessee regalia proudly!

I workeace2: in the Niceville, Crestview, Destin, 30A area and hold my Tennessee regalia proudly as well! GBO VFL!

 

[alexconner]

Pure speculation on my part, but who's to say meeting was cancelled because no other details to be worked out and Hart and Gruden want it spun as a negative for a few more days?

If is a "done deal"...What if Hart wants to help Jimbo leverage UT job to make gains for contract ext, $ at FSU. And/or Auburn job. Especially if Gruden is contractually bound by Tampa severance pay till mid Dec.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

It is uncanny how smack dab right on BORO has been on this....man hope this happens soon, suspense is killing me!

Yes, it is...I think that is why we can continue to trust him and the other OGs of what the final outcome will be....GRUDEN!!!! :dance2::rock::loco:

 

[RagingOrange]

i'll be here. Will you be when he is hired little man?
