Official Jon Gruden Thread 35

[TheFbright]

Man, people really taking the Finebaum in Tyson-McGhee airport to mean something? He is probably just on the way to the SEC Nation game for the week. It means nothing.

Knoxville isn’t a connection city. It’s a destination city. Flights go to & from hubs only. If he’s in Ktown, it’s on purpose.

This Thread should in no way be becoming the Jump off the bridge place it's becoming.

Bcarter said so!

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Finebaum goong to Knoxville is weird. The Sec game day is in Georgia this week so unless he has other business in Knoxville then hmmm...

Wait, I thought you’re Eminem? lol:

I don’t think you’ll be hearing anything anymore from media members or coaches being contacted from here on out. It has come down from the top that any and all information be stopped. I was expecting an update last night from Hargis (family friend) after he followed up with his sources and those sources say they can not tell him or any media any more updates from here on out. After his appearance on Finebaum yesterday and grumors trending on twitter there were several unhappy folks. You won’t see David Blackburn say anything either if he wants a position
within the AD.

On a side note, I ran into a buddy that I’m close with at EMJ (higher up project manager). His boss Jay Jolley (he is a mid level booster) who is also the president of the company has told him that we are going to close the deal on gruden this week (he was told that Monday) and expected an announcement before Vandy. This is now twice I’ve heard that this week from extremely reliable people.

I did not hear the interview but poster in RF says that Gruden on Seattle interview asked not to be asked questions about coaching rumors but brought up Brock Huard doing our game and how Rocky Top was a great song.

(I did not hear said interview)

People like to talk in absolutes, the truth usually lies in-between.

Only a Sith deal in absolutes

I will say it is of no benefit to announce today, tomorrow or Saturday with our team playing 48hrs or so from now. It would be a distraction and a disservice to them. Probably Sunday or early next week they'll announce. However, if they did announce today I would be okay!

I disagree. Today is the perfect day to announce. I think it would get the team fired up. Especially the young guys who will be back next year.

Gruden could make an appearance on campus and meet the team in person. Give them them a pep talk like he did to that tire.

 

[Lulu]

Ditto. I would love to see Aschoff eat crap. He's a douche.

He's also a gator, so yeah. Would love to show him up.

 

[Behr]

Bcarter is clearly full of **** then. I rarely post but know that LWS has limited sources if any anymore. They all would come from the AD side, multiple rungs down, and it has been made clear that nobody but Currie and maybe 1 orher person in the AD knows what is going on, therefore Larry's posts here just like they are on the TOS, are worthless. He is also the most consistently negative person I have seen on these forums because he is still butthurt about the Fulmer stuff and takes every opportunity to put down the AD (even if they do mostly deserve it).

Skeeter bas been proven here that he no longer has much connection either.

So you guys are putting faith in Carter who says he only puts faith in 2 guys, can't comment on the other person, that have proven before your eyes to not have any real inside information anymore. LWS is simply giving you his "educated" opinion and maybe what he gets from people that once were connected but now are much further down the list. It is his goal to pee in cheerios of every vol fan on a daily basis

Add in deerpark as well lol, that guy exposed himself as a fraud on this very board just recently. Carter just destroyed his credibility, imo, by announcing publicly that he only puts faith in people that have been proven to no longer have any credibility.

Thank you for your opinion.

 

[UTSuave’]

Yup, and he actually made some good posts.

All the ones I recall was some type of insight or info that was useful I always looked for him to drop in

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Posting again because I shared info at 2:00am last night once I got the group message:

I am a current student at UT - close friend of mine (already graduated) works full-time in the media (production?) department for the AD at UT here in Knoxville - I wont post the screenshot out of request but...

- to get to the point they were told the AD is being prepared for an event the Tuesday after Vandy game
- told to set up in TBA (where normal press conferences are held)
- wasn't disclosed more information - peculiar according to him

- yesterday: overheard conversation between "one of Currie's guys" and "other guys" walking through the studio and one of them said "This city is going to go nuts when they find out..."

I don't really care about getting dragged through the mud. I only post what I trust - I corroborated the Dale Jones story early on with knowledge from a person who directly knew Dale (long story on how I knew that person) and I literally broke the von pearson assault story a couple years ago and got dragged for it, ended up being completely right. that's all I have and all i'll probably have until the AD media dept hears more.

GBO

Is this guy legit?

This Thread should in no way be becoming the Jump off the bridge place it's becoming.

Need to kick Carter out of the thread is what needs to happen

 

[OldVol]

so we're not a total embarrassment to you anymore?

People should temper their expectations.

What is embarrassing is when the national media makes fun of the Tennessee fan base.

Baby had it right in 2012 but things happened.

Things can still happen.

All of the plane tracking and far out conspiracies just give fuel to the national media if and when things don't go our way. That's hard to deny. Wouldn't you agree.

 

[Vfl83]

Warner Agee saying on the radio the deal has been signed. Not sure how credible he is though

 

[Kurtastrophe]

At least UF hasn't announced Kelly yet.

 

[revjayp]

Don’t have time to read all old posts. Why are people down?

Because they’re all pearl clutchers and have attached themselves to the short hairs of about 5 posters and if those posters don’t give updates every 5 mins their man parts shrivel to the size of mustard seeds and they panic.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Thank you...disregard my second post asking for clarification.

You're a much better man than me.

 

[UTSuave’]

Better not be any of those in Knoxville...

I can be a true volunteer and recycle 😁 Do you think I'll make the Jumbotron

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

Need to kick Carter out of the thread is what needs to happen

Well I'm not gonna say that but he could chill out a bit.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Is this guy legit?

Per other info I woukd say he is. Lines up with someone else's info.

 

['Boro-vol]

You're a much better man than me.

Well...yeah. But that's what I like about you.

 

[Sstterry]

I see we're on a downhill swing now. I knew last night's positivity couldn't last that long.

Let's say hypothetically, a deal was signed yesterday or last night. Let's also say the UTAD planned to announce it on Monday. If that was the case, then you should expect things to be quiet for these few days in between. When things get quiet, people get nervous and negativity grows.

Take it easy and stay away from bridges for a few days. All is well.

This all day long!

 

[superdave1984]

At least UF hasn't announced Kelly yet.

Can't announce what you do not have. And I don't think they have him, nor will they.
