Official Jon Gruden Thread XI

[wU-Tang Vol]

Whatever helps your ratings I guess. In his view, ratings shoot up when he consistently is inconsistent with his sources, and we still get Gruden. Win win for him

 

[CWGvol]

Good lord what happened? Why is everybody down, what did Ainge say? Or whoever?

 

[volatil]

So no one wants to hire Butch JOnes because he lost to Dooley, but are okay with Butch Davis because he beat Dooley on a technicality?

Do NOT want either.

 

[LazhilUT]

WIVK is and will always be the flagship.

I could see UT doing what UGA does here in Atlanta...

They have one station that broadcasts the games, buth 680 The Fan is the official sports talk radio of the Bulldogs so they get interviews, coaches as guests on their shows, etc. but do not broadcast the games...I think that's what the guy could be talking about.

But again, that's a stretch and I agree. But I do wonder if they are not threatening the press with these tactics to keep this hush.

 

[HDTVDinner]

Some guy called "Conspiracy Theorist" on the Text Box on the TSR App said that all of the TSR guys are holding back because with the Sports Animal being sold to a national company, TSR could be in line to be the official flag ship station of UT...and so they are being told to lay low or they will have their press passes pulled...
He actually challenged them to deny it publicly...

Who knows...

Lol cattleman/small mike/Jim found the text box.

There talking about Butch Davis and Golden keeps coming up I thought we were gonna make this better not worse ugggg This is killing this talk about getting another coach like this common UT is better than Davis or Golden

 

[Elvis68Vol]

People are getting mixed up. Butch Jones Cincy coach. Butch Davis was Miami U,Browns, and UNC coach.

And Butch Johnson was a receiver for the Dallas Cowboys who invented the "California Quake"

 

[MFL]

How can Gruden make 10 million a year and his net worth only be 22.5 million....think people.

I thought it was 5 unless it's growing. These folks keep expensive toys. It's easy to spend it regardless of how much.

 

[MSCE09]

Not the flagship but they will be the only local sports radio therefore if they want insider info they will have to follow the rules.

Its kind of sad if that is true (probably is). The Knoxville media is a little too beholden to doing what they are told and not doing real reporting about UT.

No butches. Lesbian or otherwise.

Agree :lolabove:

 

[MBVolFan]

Good lord what happened? Why is everybody down, what did Ainge say? Or whoever?

Saying NO Gruden......AGAIN.

 

[peelwonder]

Let me get this straight, first Ainge said no chance at Gruden, then Ainge was 100% Gruden, and now he's said no chance at Gruden again?

 

[Wilson27]

Basilio talking the same thing in his blog again today...that UT "found something that bothered them when they talked to the NFL about Gruden". What that he would win?

 

[MFL]

Another retread...They are going to use the savings to take out 40000 seats so they continue to have sellouts. Your listening to Nashville Radio the heart of Doores and Bammers. I live here and 104.5 is all doors at heart.

Simple to me...I just don't listen to them. Would rather read here than listen to Debbie Downers who are obviously out of their minds.

Golden? Are you serious? I cannot believe people still believe that our AD would hire this guy.

 

[I_Bleed_Orange77]

So let me get this straight, EVERY media guy is saying Gruden isn't coming but a few guys on here say he is (and we have no idea who they really are) and everyone believes he is. I just don't understand why media would deliberately make us think it wasn't Gruden. Makes absolutely zero sense to me. Sorry.

Good morning Gman!

 

[thebjd]

Guys on Sports Animal just said Manti Te'o was a small linebacker with a nose for the ball. What is he 6'2" and 255lbs?

 

[volatil]

It's obvious that y'all should just turn his show off because they are just throwing anything against the wall until it sticks.

Not down just agitated over Ainge acting like a teenage girl picking out a prom dress.

The info that Lex provided to kick this thread off is all anyone needs to revert back to. Hart is throwing a smokescreen and Ainge really does know what is going to happen.

But, the days for needing a smokescreen should be coming to a close. What is there to hide at this point?

If it is Gruden's last payment from the Bucs, then I get it. But if Nov. 30 is d-day for that, then this thing should be announced around that time or I don't see it happening.
