Official Jon Gruden Thread 35

[SandoVOL]

For the people accusing everyone of being trolls... think about what you’re saying... All these people, who have been on VN for years and have well known profiles... Are making all of this up just for their own entertainment? I could understand if it were a bunch of new profiles that had never posted before, which is why so many people doubted MIT at first... UNTIL he was vouched for by another well known poster.

I’m sure there are some trolls in this thread, but these long time members with profiles dating back 5+ years and have 10,000+ posts are obviously not trolls. They may be getting inaccurate information, but they’re not deliberately trying to deceive anyone. They bring the information they get from their sources. It’s entirely possible that their sources are wrong, which they openly acknowledge...

Just because you can’t go verify every word they say doesn’t mean they’re making it up, or that it’s incorrect. Many of the details around this coaching hire will never be made public.. so the information you get here may be all you ever get. It’s not like once Gruden is hired, Currie will write a book detailing every step of the process. We’ll get the announcement and that’s it. Everything that is being speculated now will still be speculation even after Gruden is hired. We will never know for sure how it all went down because none of us were directly involved in the process.

dude this is the internet age. People carry on fake personas all the time, for years lol. Gotta feed the need.

Ok. Somebody had to see Pill's post before he deleted it.

What did it say???

Next monday is the date he was told.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

So Boro, bubba, dto, amd atlanta vol are trolls?

Legendary if true

Nobody has called Atlanta Vol a troll that I know of.

 

[25801VOL]

It's what I was told, but frankly I don't believe it. There's no chance in hell that it will be kept under wraps that long.

I was told that no matter what happened today the AD wanted to give the current staff the LSU game with zero distractions. They've frankly been through hell, and in many ways the LSU game is their interview to the football world. If they can put together a good gameplan and field a team that clearly looks motivated, most of them should land on their feet. With the amount of chatter we're seeing, I can't imagine it won't get leaked/announced before this weekend.

This just sounds fishy. Why would they care? We have been paying them all year for just that.

on Gruden or the trolling lol, you mean '12?

Following the Grumors

 

[BIGORANGEFISH]

Never give up man. I know someone who was diagnosed, told point blank that it would kill them, and they are still here over 18 years later.

I am going to mess up the correct name, but it was called Poly Glioma / Astrocytoma at the time. Some kind of combination tumor. They did surgery, chemo, and radiation. Told afterwards that while it may give them some time, "this will kill you.".

Doctors don't know everything, miracles happen. Praying for your wife.

She had brain surgery 3 months ago to remove brain tumor. They got 60% of it. She has been through chemo radiation for the last 30 days. It has kicked her ass and left her devastated and she is ready to give up hope. I know miracles can happen. I love you all. Gruden to the hill soon! We believe!

So you’re thinking what? Friday?

Tomorrow would work much better for my schedule.

Thirsty Thursday at the local bar could come in real handy.

On Gruden..He claims he was trolled himself by these guys.

 

[txbo]

This was where timeframe came in I think.

You’re on to something. Follow his social media.

 

[m1al]

If you remember how the whole thing went down

CTV is insinuating that the other in that situation where ALL involved and the other two are still doing it since they weren’t called out

I remember but other than the one that confessed the only ones that know for sure if the other two were involved, are the other two themselves.

All the calling out of supposed trolls drags us away from the intent of this novel of a thread. To me that is, no matter who ends up coaching the Vols we can all have a little off season fun while suffering thru a very disappointing season and coaching change.

Dude. You are seriously in my prayers man.

Gruden To The Hill

Real Soon!

Hang in there BIGORANGE and take care of both of you. Thoughts and prayers your way my friend.

 

[JFreak]

The fact of the matter is there are a very select few people who know what is actually going on behind the scenes and they are not posting anything here.

Pretty much this. I do believe there is some smoke behind Gruden and it has a chance of happening. However, no one on this board broke the Butch firing nor the hirings of Kiffin, Dooley, or Butch prior to the mainstream media. Why would this be any different?

I have a blue print reading class tomorrow so that’s a no go. Currie goes off of my schedule. Did you not hear? 😂

I'm guessing that's the date of the introductory presser. I feel like it's going to leak over the weekend.

Fish, I sent you an email, touch base with me sometime.

 

[Orange&whitelover]

Really? What was this? A nice hedge?

I think he is referencing his previous post. he tried to do a .gif and it didn't work.

Hopefully it does. I ordered a shirt that says “Bring Chucky Home.”

Oldvolfan broke butch being fired and said the deal is done with Gruden today. Could've just been throwing crap against the wall, but he's the only one I saw that got the day correct.

Ok Squints, try this wrinkle on for size.

Most agree that Fulmer has been very active behind the scenes in trying to 1) reform the way our football program is run, and 2) get Gruden.

Blackburn resigned at UTC on June 14, 2017. Fulmer was appointed special advisor for athletics on June 20, 2017.

Fulmer stated at time of hire that he had NO animosity for John Currie, and would work well with him. Blackburn said the exact same thing in today's article.

Lots of coinkydinks here, IYAM.

Especially for folks that have been directly opposed to each other at one point in time.

 

[VolsCigarMan]

Agreed, may parts of area are fantastic. Took a route leaving Columbia Restaurant in Ybor one evening that was a bit questionable to say the least. I do enjoy visits to Tampa.

Funny part is the restaurant is called Columbia but it's actually a Cuban restaurant. Very expensive too to be Cuban food. I've been to the one in Clearwater Beach a couple of time. I go to Ybor City only in the daytime to pick up cigars when in Tampa but I don't suggest Ybor City at night. It gets pretty ghetto at night with fights and drunks coming out of the clubs and bars. Plus not a good area close by if you know what I mean.

Still doesn't answer what I proposed. And I'm proposing this under the auspices of Jones having said miracle and no desire of departing. Very irreconcilable.....

 

[robbymoore94]

See Gruden’s quote about caring about other coaches from Mike and Mike today. It kinda makes sense if you stretch it enough.

 

[peerless98]

You are absolutely correct to have your BS meter up and are totally right to call them out for all of this. They don't know anything. Boro, DTO, and most of all Beav. They know nothing. Everything they have said is super vague and unprovable and always leaves an "out" of some sort. It has been hilarious to watch some people here hang on every word they say. The fact of the matter is there are a very select few people who know what is actually going on behind the scenes and they are not posting anything here.

I mean, come on. Venture Capital? 20-30 year plans? If you are going to BS people at least don't be moronic about it.

You forgot about the Scotch and Nantucket.
