Official Jon Gruden Thread 36

[VEKZY]

We are all here for one reason: to see if Gruden will be the head coach of Tennessee next year. This will only be confirmed by him being officially declared head coach by the AD. If anyone is trolling (any insider, be it Beaver or some random that just posts what he hears from his uncle),
they will be exposed at that moment, and only at that moment.

Here is what we know: AtlantaVol is a good source, he screened Beaver and said Beaver must be connected in some way. If you trust AtlantaVol, trust that Beaver at least has a connection to a source of information.

Once again, everything will come clean ONLY when the official announcement is made. Until then, just use your brain, don't get too invested in what anyone says, and enjoy the ride.

bump because new page.

And people wonder why anyone with legitimate information doesn't like to post here. As soon as any negative spin comes out everyone is at their throat calling them a fraud. With people on Twitter doxxing them and airing their dirty laundry.

This is just your standard misinformation campaign. They don't want to make an announcement until after the LSU game. I will once again say that sometimes silence is magnitudes louder than words.

And yet no one wants to consider this. SMH.

So no Gruden...if so he can go eff himself...but we can move on. We can still get a top coach. One that will beat Florida....and Georgia...and compete and dare I say maybe..just maybe beat Bama once in a while. Things can still swing our way. If Gruden said no I will have an unhealthy hate for him. Doesn't mean I stop respecting his ability or what I know he can bring to a program. I respect Saban the same way...but it doesn't mean I don't despise him.

It's all good. Let's hope for the best.

It ain’t over til the fat lady sings. These threads are constantly On ups and downs, you gotta ride

And what a ride it is. I'm not getting off until the ride is done.

I also think it's incredibly stupid that this kid is throwing out the position his dad holds while he's acting like a complete jack*** for anyone/everyone to see.

He's young, or just spoiled. I'm sure he's lurking

I agree 100%. People will do anything for clout nowadays

Hubbs at the airport tells me that he didn't want Reed to be the only one to break the story, if there was a story to be had. It's journalism 101. Also shows me that Hubbs is just as clueless as the rest of the local talking heads.

Did you watch Reed following Hubbs' every move at the airport? That should tell you who to trust..

 

[Narco_vol]

Once again, I followed the thread ALL DAY, to which I was given much optimism. Come home from a night out and it literally goes to crap. I see the posts about the “trolls”, the “insiders” and the “connected”, but everything is very conflicting!! I know I am new here, but for the love of all things that are sacred, can we not just post the damn facts?!?! I absolutely love this thread!!!

If you guys are nervous about what Starbucks Allbriight says then just take a look at his other claims. He is fake news.

This^ Look up this Allbright guy on Twitter and really research some of his comments. Especially comments about Gruden. First off, he is not much of a Gruden fan. In a somewhat contentious back an forth with his friend little_buddy, he makes the statement "Name me one quarterback Gruden ever developed". Overall Allbright's a hack and if PM is his friend, PM needs better friends.

If I had information I wouldn’t want to share it here with how some of you are treating those who are sharing what they know. If you think someone is trolling then put he/she on ignore and get on with your life. No one in this thread needs you to be our white knight to tell us that we are wrong.

The second you hear from media that something negative happens you want to tear everyone down and claim you know it’s a troll. We are in this thread because we believe Gruden is coming and if you don’t fine, feel free to move along.

Thank you kuck, exile, beav, Bubba, Atlanta, sfd, dto, boro, and anyone else I missed for the information you share with us.


Gruden to the Hill!

I am hoping he wants as many details ironed out about staff as possible. My thinking is JG is going to be handling this like in an NFL team. Organization. He's gonna want great recruiters so he can be the closer and concentrate on X's and O's and developing the QBs. David Blackburn or somebody else is going to be is COO. He's doing his best to make sure he successful.

Damn finally witness some intelligence. You can't always get what you want when you want it. JG isn't gonna worry much about offense because that's an area where he can be flexible with several OC's. Defense is a different story. It seems he's buying time as Orange Pill suggested last night or Wed. nite. Said contracts with some assistants were hindering progress. It's all good, imo if he were to keep Shoop and Hoke. I thought the Missouri stampede was a total disgrace and was my final straw with Shoop. It's gonna happen and for the 4th time K.Steele,Auburns DC would be the perfect fit.

No, I’ve been a member here a LONG time, maybe don’t post everyday but read everything.

I am a member of several message boards, I’m not oblivious to things.

This kid literally said some very very personal things and included names of and including his father who is a CEO of a capital firm.


Come on, man!

I’m curious as to what AV has to say!

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Probably the same amount of times news like this breaks at night.

Lane Kiffin leaving broke at night.

 

[Codaman]

Well, my name is right there on the feed so he shouldn’t surprise anybody

That it is!

 

[HudsonVols]

Hubbs may not tell us everything he knows but he is definitely not clueless. He has plenty of contacts at UTK. Hubbs will announce what he knows when the university tells him to. He will follow the timeline. He makes a lot of money off of Tennessee football and I don't blame him. I doubt that he only went because he was afraid of Jon Reed breaking a story. I may be wrong but we will see SOON.

What's up Brent, has the eagle landed or not?

 

[BigSteve09]

You guys are missing the point that Beav even took the time to respond to the flea on Twitter, and got flustered enough to type like a teenager “out me then. F*** boy”

Come on man

That’s more YMCA Beaver

I can’t buy this character that he and his fans have built up

How is a man that gets into teenager tiffs on twitter gonna be this well connected guy with all the true insider info that’s so ironclad? None of this adds up.

Allbright is a clown!

 

[EZE]

Dude, dial back the anger. Have a drink...or a valium.

Why not both?

 

[allvols1414]

Stayed at Mt McCloud and had Charley’s pizza a couple years ago. Both were fantastic

Oh yes I forgot about Mcloud Mt ate there and it was also amazing and a beautiful view

 

[UTK]

No, you said if i couldn't see that he would be successful at Tennessee I must be blind. So I responded that I couldn't see. Sorry you don't understand sarcasm.

touche'

 

[SaipanVol]

Why do you think these trolls always wait until late at night say all this crap? Because they know the people who can shut them down are asleep.... Let them have their little anti-Gruden party and feel like they've won something for a few more hours. Once the day shift starts back up, they’ll disappear.

this all day long!

 

[EZE]

Honest question here. Seems this term "misinformation campaign" has been thrown around a lot. Where is the proof that UT or any AD has conducted a "misinformation campaign" in the past to delay announcing a decision?

It was called "smokescreen" in 12. It didn't make sense then, and it doesn't make sense now.

 

[TennVols423]

I’m not saying Beaver is some broke troll living in his moms basement.

I think he knows some people that know some people but as far as being right there in the loop, not buying it.

 

[BearCat204]

Yall some bipolar Mfers lol.

 

[MIT_Beaver]

That guy threw out personal things and names? Why would he go THAT far, especially in today’s world where those names could be looked up?

Beaver had no response other than blocking him once he threw names out!

Not that hard to see through it.

Me personally I don’t take stock in it, I’ve always felt Gruden is 50/50 but some people on here are taking his word and have so much hope over him.

Again, I appreciate a good troll on people like Politicians, journalists, etc.....but not on my fellow Volunteers

I am having a hard time keeping up but he was 100% trolling. At first we were having fun trading insults but then I realized he knew nothing. Do I need to ask you permission for what language I can use?
