Official Jon Gruden thread 32.

[Poppa T]

Because he stayed in knox

Thinking they were making Butch a farewell cake.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

FYI on Skeeter. His last post before today (which was January by the way) he mentioned that he is “out of the loop now.” Makes sense why he wouldn’t have heard Grudens name. Keep the faith :rock:

This

 

[Boston Vol]

This is our only hope

 

[tennvols77]

This post Reminds me of the Tupac song hit em up, ha.

I hope you do know T and I hope you have been truthful, if not F you too!

Joking but just a little, I hope you have been honest as it adds some semblance of comfort in believing this is about to be over with a happy ending.

Heard from a very very very reliable source that Peerless Price does not believe and has not believed in Butch Jones. I’m no insider but i truly believe it.

 

[goinuponatuesday]

Chill out. Back away from the ledge.

All is Groooood.

But what if gruden is at the bottom with his arms wide open ready to catch us???

 

[revjayp]

Everyone is running in here looking for hope. Just relax.

The Comb is one of my favorite posters on VN. Insiders are around, it has been a very interesting past 2 days. The Kendrick’s issue is a big deal (both in the health of that kid and on the implications it has on Butch).

For the game theory nerds, whoever can correctly summarize the implications this has on Currie and the boosters will win a a couple free scotch drinks on me at a home game next year.

Pressure, will lead to Currie letting Butch go.

I sware if Mullen is hired, I’ll be totally bummed out.

same here , he is not a home run hire...not even close

Common sense doesnt work in pandemonium.

Lol

Look at it this way. If Mullen is hired, then we know for sure that Butch has been fired.

 

[Coastypop]

I fully expect one of two things to happen in the next 24 hours.

News leaks tomorrow that Butch has been relieved of his duties and who will serve as interim

Or

Full on press conference tomorrow or Monday saying he will finish the season and be done at that point and that the search is on for the next HC at UT.

Either of these scenarios might put a spark in the players and we can at least see an effort these next two games. I see no possible way it is business as usual. Its weird when none of my friends that are close are responding to our usual game texts since the first quarter of the game. I will be baffled if by noon tomorrow news doesn't start to leak. I think Jones knows it's over and he had a strange look of almost relief at the end of the game.

He is a good man but has failed. It sucks for us as fans but remember there is a family and real people involved. Forget the money, I know a lot of people's worries in life revolve around money but not everyone's. Failing is not easy but is a reality in any profession. I do appreciate what he has done here to steer the program in the right direction. Hopefully the next head coach of the University of Tennessee is the right fit whether it is Gruden or not.

And before I could post this I got a text saying simply "It's over" from someone I trust would know. Tifwiw not trying to be all insider. I asked if tomorrow or Monday and I got a "I think so". I think they know they have to say something but are unsure whether they want to announce and let him finish or go with interim.

Butch is Done after this game tonight.... have not heard from my usual source... but he is DONE... has to be

I hope Gruden is willing to come to Tennessee this time...remember I said I HOPE

[DownTheField]

is the presser available live at utsports?

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

For those of you saying “Butch is a good guy.” That’s generous, but he’s not a good guy - not even close.

 

[goinuponatuesday]

Joking but just a little, I hope you have been honest as it adds some semblance of comfort in believing this is about to be over with a happy ending.

Hahahahaha. At the end of hit em up, he said f u to everyone. That made me laugh. Yes I have been honest

 

[2EastTnVols]

butch accuses odom of bullying and abuse...oh the irony

??? He said that?

 

[Bms4880]

There hasn't been a Butch Jones postgame show on the Vol Network yet. Kesling came on and gave a brief game summary, and the network seems in disarray.

Does the Jones postgame interview usually come before Tim's locker room report?

 

[CladInOrange]

Ok Clad, not to be that guy, but here goes, you say you left at half time, just got back to the room, but all this was stated at least about 30 minutes ago. Said you were staying in St. Louis. Columbia to St. Louis is appx 125 miles...so something with your story does not jive...based purely on stated timelines, no way you left at half time, got to room in st.louis and posted about 30 minutes ago regarding your activities. Also, sometimes too much detail with a story lends a story to likely being embellished. Maybe you are legit, but something just not adding up with your​ timeline as reported. But maybe I am wrong.🤔

When did I say I️ was in my room? Just on way back to St Louis.

 

[vols72]

I've never been this calm after a loss. Has to be a sign

Good for nothing
