Mr coach kline to the hill!

where's the original post about stalking horse?

No idea. I missed it. Just picked it up from others posts.

 

[revjayp]

Beaver and cooter are the same thing, and if I keep typing these two words I'm gonna get in trouble at work

Ah! You got it. Sorry, I was slow. It does seem like I’m in 8th grade again.

 

[EZE]

He’s calling himself the stalking horse, isn’t he? It’s under his bio. He could have tweeted it, but choose to change his bio to that. Makes me nervous after reading the wiki about it.

Think about it like this:

[Beaver] is a figure that tests a concept [Gruden] with [the fan base and/or administration] and mounts a challenge against [Haslam] on behalf of an anonymous third party [Ergen]. If the idea proves viable or popular, then [Ergen] can then declare his interest and advance the concept with little risk of failure.

Was it Jauan Jennings or the bartender at your hotel?

Haha, it probably is that guy

Bill Duff to the Hill

Hahaha did you ever see his martial arts show called Human Weapon? It was actually badass!!

 

[VFLnSFD]

Someone asked me today how I would choose for Gruden to announce he’s taking the job. He said he wanted him to do it on MNF.

I said I would want him to make an account and post as himself in the Gruden thread. After 30+ threads, hundreds of thousands of posts, and millions of views, to have the man himself come in here and give us the news would have to be the best possible ending.

Was curious if anyone else had a “dream” way for UT or Gruden himself to announce the hire?

Or he could text you and you could post a screenshot.


I'm just teasing you.


See, GV? I make jokes.

Yep

Robert Reese Neyland to the Hill.

Everyday the grudenites gather round their little campfire and feed it rumor and innuendo and wishful thinkin, but no facts. But still, their little fire flames up.

Every day people with rational minds tell the grudenites it aint happinin for you. And everyday those braindead grudenites go like: "You're mean ol trolls for pissin on our campfire".

You basically said we craft Grumors around the fire and then say we’re brain dead. Wut? Creative isn’t brain dead. So that part of your story is stupid anyway.

Craig T Nelson to the hill!

 

[revjayp]

where's the original post about stalking horse?

Beav has it as his description on Twitter. Then Hawk posted the Wikipedia article about it.

 

[Vfl83]

Hurd for coach lol I kid

 

[peerless98]

I hate to be the grammar Nazi, but you ended your question with a period.

🤓

Well, I be damned. You get a like.

Testing Gruden with the fan base is the easiest test of all time.

Craig T Nelson to the hill!

wait...will this be as the guy from Coach or as the dad from Poltergeist? I'll take the latter.

During the LSU game, when we're up 21-9, at half time Currie walks out on the field,"I'd like to introduce the next coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, Jon Gruden".:dance: Neyland would EXPLODE!!!!

 

[Bray_Matter]

Maybe it is the Beaver himself. But, it could fit a lot of things.

Do you have a shot of the Beaver tweet?

So his failure would be limited to here and Twitter?

 

[ChiefTKE]

The name i keep hearing the most is Mullen. That doesnt mean much, but Currie really likes Mullen for some reason. Mullen may have 0 interest in the TN job for all i know.

What does that have to do with this and Gruden though?

Chris Ramseur to the Hill.

Screw that...

Michael "Squints" Palladorous to the Hill.

I think he is, but honestly I don't think that is a problem.

It wouldn't serve his purpose if there was any other coach at the end of the charade. I think, if anything, he has been the stalking horse for the AD (and Currie).

He's vetted Gruden to all parties, demonstrated the wild success that such a hire would bring, and now they have verifiable data to bring to the AD (and the money counters).

 

[Coastypop]

He doesn't know, and hasn't for a couple years now.

I wanted to hear what he had to say about any talks with Gruden.... that would determine imho what he really knows or not
