Official Jon Gruden Thread XIII

[ChicBleedsOrange]

Love it! I'm doing this very thing. The carlton!

From my perch, this is all somewhat strange. So I'll just tell you what I have been through the last two hours and see what you think.

1. At 10p, I got two simultaneous, unsolicited texts from a primary source (booster side) telling me the deal was off. No details. Nothing. I've still got nothing else from that end. But I held off because of crap like this.

2. TFP publishes article saying legit offer was on table for Gruden, directly quoting sources close to the deal.

3. At 12a, Babyvol says "It's done!"

4. At 12:30a Someone points me to a discussion on TOS where John Brice insinuates Hart may not stick around if Gruden is hired, and that he wants to go another direction.

You tell me?

Hart........bye.

 

[JCP201]

Cannot believe this ish is breaking at 1am

I know. We have to work!!

 

[Yay4Bray]

I told you guys. This was all part of the plan. Now hart will swoop in and save the day. I e said it all along. Jayvol can vouch for me.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

In regard to the speculation that Hart would leave if Gruden is forced on him....

There are 100 qualified candidates to replace Hart tomorrow. There is only one Chucky.

 

[SickEmSmokey14]

Weren't you the kid that was trying to walk on?

If so how is everything going for you?

PREFERRED walk-on lol jk. Yeah man, that's me. Things are looking good. Focusing on grades and can't wait to get to Knoxville!!!

 

[UTodd01]

Exactly. Who benefits from this? Gruden's camp if they're truly interested in the job does. Read the story it's obvious.

This would lead you to believe it's been the money and Gruden the whole time.

The final plan?

Make Dave Hart have no choice.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

no need. I is here.

We got this shizz covered.

 

[Velo Vol]

From my perch, this is all somewhat strange.

I'm with you on this.

 

[SagginVawls]

Doesn't it feel great? To know that Tennessee will be respected once again?

To no longer saying "Well we have that tough team coming up and it will probably get ugly"

No. Not anymore. Finally Tennessee will be that tough team coming up. T

In Gruden's opening statement he should simply say . . . . NOW no one is going to have Tennessee to kick around anymore!

[Unknown Muppet]

I can tell ya this. If I meet an OG somewhere, a beer is in their future.

 

[WallyBalls]

Is that twice you and I have unwittingly collaborated?

Seems to be.

Cheers.

If all points are indeed fact, I think in the end, V'sFL overrode the bama boy.

Wag the Dog

 

[Orange_Scooter]

What is this?

I am not 100% sure but isn't that the old report from earlier today? The one from Channel 3 in Memphis? If so, it's behind the newer details.

 

[Bluetick Believer]

Guys on nationally syndicated fox sports radio about to talk about "Gruden and the scandal in Knoxville" sorry I do not know their names. But I am in Cookeville and it is on 106.1 the eagle....ill re cap after I lisyen

Tuned it in. Was just a recap of the Chat. Report. That and them doggin Grude but what do they know.

 

[VOLMEB]

J. Brice is saying Hart may quit over this hiring.

Don't break character NOW!

 

[SmokinBob]

My information is never 100% guy. Just telling you like it is. I just know a couple of behind the scenes media people.

If you want the concrete stuff go to the other OG's with money or personal ties.

I got the media dish.

I didn't mean to shout - was trying to make the "for now" tiny! 'Preciate you and your info!:salute:

 

[crazyguy]

Make Dave Hart have no choice.

exactly, you let Hart imply it's money and then you put up the money. At that point it's put up or shut up and that may have been what happened.

 

[JimVol]

PREFERRED walk-on lol jk. Yeah man, that's me. Things are looking good. Focusing on grades and can't wait to get to Knoxville!!!

Rooting for ya!

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Holy S%it folks, looks like this is indeed happening!!!!

Vols, Bi^ch!!!

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I can tell ya this. If I meet an OG somewhere, a beer is in their future.

I might spontaneously hump the leg of the first OG I meet.


No homo.

 

[NMVol]

I am assuming Blackburn is still in the AD at present?
