Official Gruden Thread 39

Have we considered the possibility that the upcoming stadium renovation is something that Gruden requested in his contract?

Yeah,
They bumped up the cost to pay his salary.

And the vote was all I's

Hargis? There is no Hargis. Hargis doesn’t exist.

Just reviewed his Twitter...nothing about the coaching search since he went on all the shows last week. Just went quiet on it.

Pretty sure that has been in the UT Master Plan for a few years

Dear... LORD... Let this be true!

I would be an ecstatic teenage girl if this were true.

Curious what it says. I know that the two boosters I had dinner with Friday said that they were meeting up with a few people at the game. Sounded more like a fairly informal "meeting of the minds" to me so I thought nothing of it.

Also, flight N700UT is now going to PORTSMOUTH, NH (Chip Kelly). Seems way too on the nose so I would assume the owner is trolling the fanbase.

Anyone going there needs to avoid the ol Portsmouth circle Rotary..it ill kill ya

Question if we didn't already have a coach locked up, do you honestly think Currie would be in the Bahamas? Think about it.

 

[Coastypop]

The conspiracy side of me thinks he got too close to the truth and someone at a high level asked him to sit on it.

I have actually been toying with these type thoughts in the past few days...... but I am to much of a realist

I really think Gruden was at Calhouns but UTAD got wind that this picture was floating around. Called up Calhouns and basically told them to squash it.

No he wasn't. My best friend and his wife are both servers there. They were both working that night when it was posted on thread 36 maybe (idk I work 70 plus hours a week, my wife has GBM brain cancer and I'm continually reading these Gruden threads so my brain isn't very sharp). But I called him as soon as I read the post that JG was claimed to be there (even though not one picture surfaced). Just not true

 

[LoudOrange]

Who does more commercials PM or Gruden?

 

[ACvol3]

Kevin Nash ?

Yeah man

I think they are having a weeklong celebration.

 

[aaronvol]

They are drinking Corona!!!!

Dillito Dillito!

We've been thinking about it since early this morning.

 

[DougVol]

Awesome. Have any pictures??

My dads uncles jumped into Normandy as Parhfinders on DDay, but I grew up around aircraft and have always loved WW2 aviation history.

I recommend three books.

1) “The Big Show” by Pierre Clostermann. It’s basically his diary as an RAF pilot of Spitfires and Tempests.

2) “Fighter Pilot” by Robin Olds. Dude flew the P-38, P-51 and later the F-4. Was an Ace in WW2 and Nam.

3) “Lords of the Sky” by Dan Hampton. It’s an amazing history.

Pictures? Good lord yes. I drive my wife crazy youtubing me-109 flybys!!! Lol

Which would confirm a done deal imo

 

[Batman1948]

And why are they just having a fund raising meeting with boosters? I thought that occurred a while back and the boosters had the money pledged already?

Bingo-----all of that was mentioned in the boosters meeting in Tampa. IIRC

[ChiefTKE]

It's all true. Gruden's airplane just got delivered. We got a deal...came with free delivery.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Pete Carroll is chewing the hell out of that gum. Lol

 

[SweetDaddy]

Just to show Im not in the bull****ting business no Im not Kevin Nash.

There are ways of even shutting a reporter up for a limited time.

Exclusive one on one and/or first interview. Things like that. I don't follow Hargis that much, but he does seem like the type of reporter to get his facts straight before going to the papers. If he has/had info, he would sit on it for that kind of access.

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

Also just keep an eye out, controlled leaks are coming.

 

[G8rh8r]

Diesel?

Diesel was my favorite.

 

[MtnCityVol]

Also just keep an eye out, controlled leaks are coming.

What’s an example of a controlled leak?

Stay in the thread. It will be much more enjoyable to see and hear your reaction when Gruden is announced if you are here for the duration. (fingers crossed) I was a 2012 Gruden lurker and firm believer. It's been comforting to find out over time that it actually did almost happen and that we were not just delusional and gullible.

I'm still here just will not post anything about other coaching options in the Gruden thread. Don't mistake my doubt for my not wanting him lol.
