Here they come to snuff the Grumors

Grumors never die

#2 I personally know a VFL who has been contacted for a position on the Defensive side. Don’t ask, I will not elaborate any further.

Not asking and you don't have to reply, but PLEASE let it be Terry Fair!!!!

 

[CourtJester]

Did you actually "talk" to someone or are just referencing a post from another site?

There is a big difference is saying "my source told me" and "I read a post on another website and wanted to share".

One implies a whole lot more than the other.

At best it's misleading, at worst its dishonest.

All very true, and the interesting thing is he carries lots of nuggets from here over there as well, but always prefaces them "From VN" etc. But when he brings the OM posts over here he says it's from his "source" or "I was told" such and such. Probably because OM has a lot less traffic and he figures people won't know. Not cool.

Yes!

1. You don’t forget how to coach
2. A group of badasses
3. No

Perfect response, especially number 2.

It’s not gonna happen. But hey if it makes you feel better just keep on, keeping on. I’ll make sure to check back in on this thread once the head coach at Tennessee has been named. Hint for you........it won’t be a Gruden.

And you look just as stupid as anyone else here for speaking in absolute terms on a subject you know nothing of.

 

[AmoebaVol]

What would the significance be?

Maybe none. But it wasn’t ESPN. If you believe in backroom deals and whatnot, you might think we’d funnel info to ESPN if it’s Gruden. Pure speculation of course. Just thought it was curious that SI broke it.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Is there anyone here that can detail what went down to bring Majors back to UT as coach? I see a parallel with Gruden because I think it is critical that we hire someone with some true orange blooded ties.

A guy named Jack Daniels was instrumental in bringing Johnny home.

 

[Coastypop]

New coach will have to be announced soon for recruiting imo.

Maybe I am over reacting but I believe it is imperative that this gets done quickly.... we can't afford to lose out on a year of good solid recruits in the SEC

 

[White Bread]

I do and it’s a little crazy. Grown men setting themselves up for colossal disappointment.

Then don’t come in here lol. Grown man coming into a thread to feel high and mighty about something he knows nothing about.

In short, GTFO.

 

[67volbabygirl]

So SI has a NARC at UTAD?

Could have come from the fired side of the deal. I just find it a slap in the face to the local media that they didn’t get first release....I’m guessing that was done by Butch or someone in his camp as a last dig on Knox media.

Dale Jones for linebacker coach

No see you don't and that proves it. Notice how most of us have been having fun in here this season? A season that has been the least amount of fun I can ever remember a Tennessee football season being. You know just as little as the next guy here so oist a source or get the **** out.

 

[tastycar]

I think it's crazier for someone to go out of their way to tell people they are crazy.

Plenty of cautious people in here. They usually just try not to be a d*** about it.

 

[Dudleys87]

Jack was from Kentucky
Jim was from Tennessee
The only one that didn't lie is Jose

They asked him and he immediately said yes

 

[Coastypop]

I think a lot of us are feeling that exact thing. No matter what, these threads have been a welcome diversion through an otherwise miserable season.

I agree :hi:

 

[CamWinfree]

Is this guy credible?

 

[Volbrando]

Ah the Nega-Grudes. Right on time

I do believe one way or another we will hear something quickly.

 

[BubbaWms]

I know many in here do not believe this... but I want to believe this real bad.... just don't want to live through another crash like 2012

suggest making out a Gruden Will....# 1 on the list....do NOT click on any future Official Gruden threads !
I have no desire for third time is a charm if we are on # 2 !

 

[Grand Vol]

Oh GV...I make so very very many stupid jokes. It's my favorite thing to do.

Beaver jokes on the other hand...must be limited to the one. No encores.

We've never seen you joke about anything. Beaver or otherwise.

Not that Beaver is a laughing matter. It's quite serious to some.

 

[Mike4Vols]

I think the fact Currie isn't using a search firm is the most telling part of the conference today. I did a little digging to see if he has a history of performing these searches on his own. We know UT has along history of using search firms for all of their big hires.

As it happens, Currie used a search for the men's basketball hire at KState.

Coaching searches — the hot seat for athletic directors | The Wichita Eagle

Some athletic directors pay big money for search firms. The thought is whenever a third party contacts a coach on a school’s behalf, the coach has deniability.

K-State paid Todd Turner and his firm, Collegiate Sports Associates, $40,000 to assist in the hiring of Weber.

So UT has a history of search firms, Currie has a history of search firms, and now they choose to bypass that option?

They already have their man.

Even if you are right, you are being a jerk about it!!!

You could just let people have their opinions and you can have yours.
