Official Jon Gruden Thread 33

[goinuponatuesday]

Still plan on hitting up Tee today?

Ya it won't be til very late though.

 

[RockCityVol]

Mike & Mike want ask the Gruden coaching question.... And it will be very telling.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Agents love this time of season ..... They prop up their coaches to get raises. i.e Mullen. Mullen bout to get raise. Watch it happen.

Yep. They making bank right now.

 

[VolForLife83]

Well Tuesday I choose to trust you. You are adamant about knowing Tee, and it seems to me that Gruden is very interested in being our coach. I’ve been on this message board since Dooley, and I know a troll doesn’t stay on a board and say legitimate things like you do. I think you know Tee, I think Tee has told you Gruden wants this Tennessee job, and I think you are right. People question you, but I won’t because I can tell you’re a VFL and you know things that are going on due to a good relationship with Tee. Keep the info flowing.

Remember VFL34?

Just saying

I heard this was a point of emphasis at the booster meeting after the Georgia game. They are tired of 4-5 and out.

Yup yup

Yep...and Sexton is the master. I can't tell you how many times the Carolina Panthers were about to hire Fulmer away from UT...and Hamilton bought it every time.

About Mullen, Miss St. is about to pay their football coach $5.5-$6 mill/ year after all of this settles! That's crazy.

Pants are about to come off. Tennessee Football is about to be back at the top. Neyland will once again be the most intimidating stadium in college football. Coach Gruden is going to lead Tennessee on the field as the next Head Coach. It's Happening!!!!!!

 

[tastycar]

Yup yup

My only problem with you, Tuesday, is I always get ILOVEMAKONNEN stuck in my head when you're on here 😁

 

[ClearwaterVol]

He was a fraud

Cliff notes on how that got figured out. He was on here for a while before it happened wasn't he?

 

[Coastypop]

There is a ten year plan in place. This is why we are hearing vfl names. They want it set up to be for the long haul. When ever gruden steps down they want the next person to step in with the same passion

I totally like this idea

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

put his neck on the line? you underestimate the need to feel important or "in the know"

You also underestimate the bashing he will get if he’s wrong AGAIN. Then nobody will trust him. That’s the point I’m making here.

 

[Sstterry]

I agree in part, but the slide started long before '08, even before '05. It was subtle and inconspicuous in nature, but nonetheless, it began long before the ouster of Fulmer. I won't litigate that here, but think about who was in power at the time, and the movement of the AD from beneath the President to the Chancellor. This, IMO, is where one should look, if they're seeking a timeline.

The slide started in the 2001 Championship game against LSU. Instead of playing for the National Championship, we ended up in the Citrus Bowl and started a slow decline.

Well we got the squad goin up...

 

[newyorkvol]

Yup yup

It’s why I think this hire is more about getting back to Tennessee “roots” and one of the intangibles that rules out some other candidates.

Member of VN.com saw Travis around town one day, thanked him for inspiring us all on VN.com, Travis responded that he doesn't visit that website. So that user came back and outed VFL-34. He promptly disappeared.

That's the short-short version, as I heard it from Butchna.

This. This. This.

I was there. Something broke that night.

 

[Volnbeers]

The SEC is about to be great again

 

[vol.E]

Pants are about to come off. Tennessee Football is about to be back at the top. Neyland will once again be the most intimidating stadium in college football. Coach Gruden is going to lead Tennessee on the field as the next Head Coach. It's Happening!!!!!!

And without pants even!

 

[OrangeGlasses731]

I’m more of a criminal minds kind of girl. I find profiling fascinating. Instead, I became an accountant. :birgits_giggle:

Ha! Me, too!

I believe somebody on the board that actually knew Travis Stephens asked him about being on here and showed him the post and Stephens said that wasn't him
