Official Jon Gruden thread 32.

[TennVols423]

Did your 8-4 include our two best LBs out, two best WRs out, four freshmen OL playing and 3rd string QB starting?

Didn't think so.

All teams deal with these same problems, just saying.

Even our backups were higher rated recruits than what Mizzou has starting

Year 5 and it’s just more excuses from Lyle

Getting Mullen after wanting Gruden wood be like having a winning lotto ticket o lying to find out the payout is $3.50.

Yea 68-45 sounds a whole lot worse then 0-0

 

[Volzonya]

I don't wanna **** someone else's life up.

Ape? Quit being a dumbass when you are smart enough not to be! We are all a collection of decisions when we meet our maker. Start making good decisions and listen to your inner voice bro! You are worth it!

 

[apevol]

So talk to a professional.

I know, I know, but they don't get dragged in.

Take care of yourself. This is painful.

Wait, what?

 

[KnoxSkiVol]

It'd basically be her whole life.

Then just keep drinking and call one of the others over.

 

[MBVolFan]

Yes. A couple others too. One that has yet to say Butch is gone and he just thinks the same as everyone. Currie has been in the job a short time and this is a career defining moment. He may have been overly cautions for some tastes (mine included) but it is not something he can wait any longer to do or there could be irreparable damage setting us back years. This recruiting class is about to fold like a cheap chair if nothing happens. These top recruits are used to winning and you can only sell "you can play immediately" for so long without posting results.

I wish it would have worked out for him and us but it didn't. I hope the best for him and his family going forward. He did pull us from the cellar and make us relevant again but folded and failed to make several key decisions correctly which will define his time here.

This!

Thanks for bringing what you are able. Im cool as a cucumber about all this. Dont hate Butch but he was a stepping stone. Time to make history.

 

[Vols_Life]

Please don't delete mods. We need this tonight. It helps the hurt just a little bit. :hi:

Spoiler

Oh my goodness...there she is...😁😁

 

[NorCalVol67]

What in the hell. Glad I decided to go to the Warriors game rather than watching that s*** show.

Please let tomorrow be Grudeday.

 

[bcartervol98]

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

I have only been in a social setting with him a few times but am great friends with people that know him well and I would respectfully disagree.

Good coach fit for UT, not at all. No need to disparage him personally imo

 

[windrider]

Definitely better than keeping what we have...is this the worst TN team in your lifetime?

I would not say its the worst team, because I always support our players. Having said that, I would have to say its perhaps the WORST COACHED TEAM that I have ever seen. Have to consider that this team is missing lots of pieces due to injuries.

This is solid advice.

 

[CladInOrange]

Nope, post at 9:55 pm

Yup, he’s right. That post was referring to the hotel we were tailgating at and where I️ was parked for the game. Left from there to go back to St. Louis. If you all really think I’m making up being at the game, that’s crazy.

 

[goinuponatuesday]

Wait, what?

I don't know the back story of what's going on, I figured u were joking. Sorry if there is a serious situation, if not.... the song marvins room by drake is a perfect in your feels, I miss my girl, drinking song.

 

[esarmstrong]

I'M not 100% sure but it appears that he does not comprehend the importance of decisive decision making with the early signing period and it's extremely concerning that he is botching the big boy decisions to the point his hand had to be forced by the boosters.

Currie is not ready for prime time...

Actually put that song on regardless and just drink up

Currie has surrounded himself with very poor people if he’s not hearing at every end to dump butch. Should have after UGA.

Currie is 0-1 so far.. and I’ve lost confidence he will make the right hire. If he does, it will be because he was pressured to do so.

I sat next to you for 3 hours at mouse's ear, dude. dont be ashamed.

That's saying a lot, pops. I know it's the worst coached team in my lifetime.

 

[LittleDTO]

There is one last hurdle to get through. This week will be critical in landing Gruden.

 

[License2killgo4]

Not trying to be the bearer of bad news, just putting this out. She works for UT in a high level position. Just pulled all MOU's up and nothing from AD, Gruden, Currie, or anything else she searched for. This doesn't mean it's not in works, just not in system. She is checking everyday.

Elaborate

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Yea 68-45 sounds a whole lot worse then 0-0

32-38 against the SEC is just wonderful.

The Rock has been updated...

This is solid advice.

That advice has saved me more times than I should admit.
