no.. Your clarified your stance. Sometimes intent doesn't always come through in a text conversation.

Edit - i do think the wheels were put in motion long before the season started. I think that's why butch wasn't given the extension he requested even after a successful season.

Is it possible that he was being facetious? He spelled Jon as John, I️ am a long time lurker to VN and have known deerpark to be credible in his info.

John Gruden is not coming to the Hill, but Jon Gruden may very well be the next HC.

No, his entire discussion about it was condescending and pretty much **** all over everyone in true DP style.

Alright, before I sign off I do have to know. Which “insiders” are legit?

ATL Vol is the obvious one,

Boro? Orange Pill? Are they good? after the last five hours I’m confused.

Patterson is NOT coming. I've told all that. I know. THAT was one of the smokescreens.

JAV has stated otherwise. He stated there has been communication and it was positive. Nothing beyond that, but basically he is an option. Tifiw.

Lame. Was it determined that dp had ties to an old coaching regime? Or am I️ thinking of another poster?

Was the AD’s office about 7-8 years ago. Not sure anymore

Edit: obviously I’m not here much myself anymore. Made a new account several years back but just pop on to read on occasion. DP has decent info during Dooley years for sure.

ATL is one, but he will be vague till it's over with. Matts40210 is another but he rarely posts, LWS is legit. As far as everybody else there is just no way of knowing, I mean I have two close family members who work directly with the Haslems. If they were to hear something dropped, I promise you I would have it in here so fast it would make your head spin, but they don't really talk UT business in the Pilot office. But you would just have to take my word for it that I would be telling you the truth.

Guess it all depends on if the people he knew are still there? If not, 7-8 years is a long time and it’s doubtful any of his sources would be privy to that info.

Right. None of us know. But the ole E-Cred can carry you a long way on here.

Btw, my assumption. Even if Gruden agreed tonight it’s not announced till after the season. No one but fans want the distraction from the Seniors that have given their all for TN

Fair enough. Thanks, now I’m going to quit cold turkey tonight.

Bet I’ll be seeing this board when I close my eyes though

bump because I still don't know what's happening around here

earlier today, everything was sunshine and lollipops and we had him and all was right with the world.

Now, after a few hours sleep and a few hours work, it's all somber in here and everyone is suspicious of everybody else and there's supposedly solid posters being called trolls and conspiracy theories and Oswald didn't really kill Kennedy and we had CJG but we lost him or we never had him at all........

somebody give me a concise recap of this afternoon/evening and where we slipped off the rails......

Not ATL Vol, but Atlanta Vol. There are variations of that name, but his is spelled out I believe.

Boro has been around a long time. Pill isn't an insider as much as a regular poster who happened to interact with a BOT member with loose lips. He seems genuine.

The reality is that many folks on here have roots at UT and as such, many folks have an opportunity to know hear things at various times and from various places. I wouldn't worry much about who is in or out or right or wrong.

There are some interesting people in here and some great conversations. Worth the price of admission at any rate.

Interesting but I doubt they could keep the secret for that long.

If major boosters are former players are told (big if) then no way it stays silent for two weeks.

But I could be wrong. As Socrates said “all I know is how much I don’t know”

Grudenight for now, prying fingers from keyboard for a bit but cannot promise I will not peek in now and then! This place is always the best during these searches and we have had our share. I hope we can pick some games next year and descend on Neyland - maybe have some kind of button or shirt so we pick others out among the crowd.
Everyone have a Grude night
