Official Jon Gruden Thread 35

[OrangeWayOfLife]

We’re seeing he start of ESPN breaking the story. Wouldn’t be surprised to get an ESPN update tonight

 

[SobeVol]

he grips too hard

That’s why he wears those think glasses. His grip has almost made him blind

 

[Batman1948]

I didn't know "bitter old drunk" was an official medical condition.

It is a medical condition and they have meetings and sponsors for it.

 

[UTVolinExile]

Is it a done deal or (lol) are we just on the daily high?

Rolling with done.

 

[EZE]

I refuse to take the bait. Hope you have a good rest of your day my man!

Atta boy.

 

[bigVol007]

Maccallan>>>>just about any other scotch

Had some 25 once in the Philippines. I almost cried when I drank it. That’s how good it was.

We're gonna have to disagree, I'm sure the Macallan 25 is like drinking Gruden's tears, but as far as the lower end stuff I'm Glenlivet all the way

 

[BearCat204]

I'm Brooks, it's Dunn!

So, one of the most interesting things I heard coming from the Hargis interview on PF wasn't the stuff we had already heard throughout the day, or even that he's gone from 33.3% to 50/50. It was.....................

He said.....This might be further along than any of us know. (paraphrasing, but big IMO)

 

[BeachBumTN65]

Why did that plane go from one airport and is scheduled to go to Tampa Intl 6 minutes away after landing at the smaller place? Refueling purposes possibly?

Shows no flight planned after Tampa Intl. Possibly dropped someone at TPF and may be hangered regularly at International, getting maintenenace, etc,

 

[Backwards K]

Hargis seems real accurate on his Finebaum info. Been hearing this a while and tried to say it on here after some people I had talked to and felt it was solid (so did they)unless Gruden changed his mind. People are so quick to shut people down immediately rather than feeling them out. I did make a mistake by saying it was good as done...i guess that was my hope talking. Anyway, Hargis has the scoop and has been siiting on it until he could confirm.
Right on time with the flight tracking reported earlier with Grudens agent home location and return back to knoxville today. Feeling like we may be within a couple of days from hearing something official. Getting the big fish.

I am hopeful, but you better keep your cup on just in case!!

 

[Behr]

he said on finebaum, that he's actually anxious to speak to his source again tonight to find out what, if any, progress may have been made.

intimated that there are things needing worked out on the staff...at all levels, like compliance, etc....and that Gruden knows enough to know he doesn't know everything he'd need to to jump in to a college job like this head first, w/out some really good support.

he's doing his due diligence to ensure he can do the best possible job he can for UT.

and wouldn't seal any deal until he felt like all those i's were dotted and t's crossed.

gave it a 50/50 shot at this point. could have something done over the weekend.

I hope this is all true.

I believe it is.

 

[peelwonder]

I love Bon Secour. I am 5 minutes away from you right now on the Beach Boulevard...

I actually live close to the fisheries.....right off county road 12 and 49.......

 

[MaTaLa]

We have an adopted daughter with autism. I take stuff like that personally too.

Don't, they're self centered fools. Kids are our greatest teachers.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Fade & KB thinks we’re delusional for thinking Gruden will come here.

Can’t wait to see them eat crow when Gruden is announced then go cry about it in the Mullen Thread.

also said the TFP was hesitant at first to come out with this, but he stated that since blackburn was willing to go on record, and his sources were ok with being used as anonymous sources, they felt they could go forward with what they knew to be true, to this point.

nothing is confirmed about anything, but everything hargis said seemed really genuine.

still, we're still talking 'chances' here....but it does appear there's a lot of smoke, and at some level, the ball is in TN's court........so we'll see.

 

[lonelawyer]

O/U 350 for how many of Finebaum's callers work at Walmart?

Most of Finebaum's callers draw a check.

 

[HeadVol77]

Just a thought what if AV is the BOT friend that pill is getting his info from? Could be telling him to post that way it’s not coming from AV

I see where you’re going with that however I don’t believe AV is on the BOT

"This is ESPN game day and yes we are in Knoxville
Tennessee for the 5th time this year. The Chucky thing has really caught
on! Your thoughts on the game Kirk?"

 

[VolnJC]

Bon Secour here.....

I'll be in Fairhope all next week

 

[Switch 625]

Running out of data sucks during a coaching search; especially with the Grumors heating up. I had to connect to an unsecure wifi network named "Won't Hack You." Seems legit. Desperate times...

 

[steve328]

I have been on the edge and I have been up on the top and I rode so far down in the valleys that I thought I was going to be dumped off the ride.... But I had my ticket punched and I am going to finish it

Same here, Coasty. I've gotten used to the highs and lows - now I'm just sitting back and enjoying the ride.

Soon

 

[pualsline]

What's the summary? My first time in the thread today

 

[coffeevol]

It is a medical condition and they have meetings and sponsors for it.

From my understanding, we should show Johnny a little mercy here. His health has been going down and I believe the beginning stages of dementia. Years of drinking didn't help but he was still a legend round these parts.:hi:

 

[BubbaWms]

How insensitive!

The term "idiot" was used to refer to people having an IQ below 30[citation needed][10][11] IQ, or intelligence quotient, was originally determined by dividing a person's mental age, as determined by standardized tests, by their actual age.

You really should consider taking a break from digging that hole....your use of the R word requires nothing more from you than a simple apology and then let it fade !

Wheels Up - Gama Aviation #834 ✈ FlightAware
this is live. going to get our new head coach!!!!!
also notice the name of the aviation company. Wheels up. There was a guy sitting next to gruden in neyland stadium during the USCe game that had a "Wheels up" hat on

https://tennessee.forums.rivals.com...529.jpg&hash=1f4b51c696e5db1173700a8e419dcd87

Disregard if this has already been asked, but has anyone checked to see if "wheels up" plane was in Knoxville on Oct. 14 (usc game)?
