Official Jon Gruden Thread XIII

[VeeOhElEsYes]

** NEWSFLASH **

This only seems CRAZY to those of us on this message board (this thread specifically) and listeners to Ainge/Basilio/Hyams radio shows...

To most of the UT fanbase and the rest of the sports world, there is VERY LITTLE going on...

I think we all need to relax and step back off the ledge and let it play out.

I am as full-Grude as anyone, but this is past the point of ridiculous.

So it wouldn't be a good idea to go kick Hart's office door
in?

 

[volgr]

That article is the most disturbing piece yet from the media. Sounded pretty matter of fact, like it came from Hart. Not good imo, but not a fact until it proves true.

I don't think Hart would release such huge information and possibly have it butchered by the media. I think he would release the information himself in a well versed presser or interview.

 

[UTBasketball2]

Guys, give the new coach a chance. You never know, he may lead us to the top.

 

[gardners_51609]

That report from Hubbs is written like a press release and uses quotation marks--IOW it's not just something Hubbs wrote after having a conversation with someone. It's something he sent back and forth or that was sent to him in written form to begin with. Combine that with the source being "someone very close to the search process" and that is the functional equivalent of an official statement. "Very close" is journalistic code for "the guy in charge" or at worst his deputy. They use "familiar with" or "with knowledge of" for people somewhat more removed. Maybe things can change. Maybe it's an intentionally false official statement (though that would seem crazy). But those of you that don't think those words were blessed by Hart are fooling yourselves.

[orange parmejohn]

if the vq report is true, Gruden may want to go ahead and sell that land in east Tn.

 

[jtp2787]

Sure seems more and more, Gruden is not our man. Why not Tony Dungy! We can hire him and 2 years from now when Peyton retires from the NFL, he can become Tony's offensive coordinator and Coach in Waiting.

I will give Gruden a chance, and I do know: He will lead us to the top.

 

[SeanJean]

You guys make pregnant women look even keeled.

Well said Sparty, if the VQ report is true, it is obvious they made a very serious push.

If you believed that a MOU of sorts was agreed upon, then there is no reason to believe the "Gruden left us at the alter" argument.

 

[Vol-in-Bham]

"UT will not wear black jerseys."

"Lane Kiffin will not be hired."

"We are not going after Gruden. 0% chance."

"There was a meeting canceled."

...yet we still listen.

 

[ThePriceofGas]

quit trying to blame Hart and/or boosters if we move on. It's Gruden. He is notorious for this and it appears he has done it again.

Move on to who is next if we have to, and stop wanting to fire someone just because Gruden doesn't want the job.

Agreed. If he strung us along this long I hope he never gets offered another coaching job.

I know it will never happen but it is Christmas time. We can wish right?

My Ignore list is about to be longer than my post count. SMH

 

[CoachClick]

if the vq report is true, Gruden may want to go ahead and sell that land in east Tn.

Why?...because he doesn't think it's the right move for his family at this time? Please.

I want Gruden as much as anyone on this board, but if the guy feels that this move isn't the right one for his family, well...Family>All IMO

It's not to say he doesn't still love TN and TN football.

 

[JCP201]

Seems like Chattanooga and Knoxville are butting heads on their information. Chatt Press seems sure that Gruden is considering, Knoxville shutting it all down.

The ghost of Tony Dungy and giant forehead. Where have I heard this before?

 

[Reynvol5]

Have we ever got a definitive answer on last TB payment? I've heard 29th, 30th, dec. 1st, 4th, 7th, 17th....????

Apparently an illiterate nutjob. I can't read his FB updates. It's hard to believe anything he says when he can't type basic sentences.

 

[RagingOrange]

Even if UT has a press conference saying Gruden is dead, how many will still believe it is Gruden?

Then ******mit do it already...they can and should but they havent...all in until its all out come today or the end of December...and nothing trolling sumbishes gonna say will change that. I expect to see people from both sides eat crow depending the outcome...Ill come eat my crow, guaranteed, but will trolls? Not likely.

Edit to add...same goes for Gruden, he can and should as well...


Enough dicking around...everyday its some new holdup...shat weve talked about already in the first fifty JG threads andtrolls come in here swinging dicks like they have been around through the whole thing and they were just born yesterday....

Been hashed a thousand times already...

 

[eazyTD]

All I know is my last shred of sanity is officially gone.

 

[WestTNVFL]

I honestly don't know what to think anymore. I've aged 10 years because of this incompetent coaching search.

 

[Thrasher865]

What about his UT family? :cray:

 

[Godfatha]

Guys, give the new coach a chance. You never know, he may lead us to the top.

If they trot out Golden, Smart, or some other on the cheap hire, I can't be emotionally invested in this any more. There are other things to do with my time.
