Official Jon Gruden Thread XIX

['Boro-vol]

The more I'm seeing, the more I'm thinking this has been going on since before the season started. If I'm Currie, I sit down at my new desk in Feb, put my favorite pen next to my pad of paper, then call Peyton to ask for his support. My next call is to Gruden's agent. Anyone watching the second half of last season knew it was over. I'd say they were hoping to wait until the end of the season but things have changed.

All of this is true. One individual told me that was one of the main reasons Fulmer was brought in as well.

Amends were made, and it helped put all the power players on the same page.

 

['Boro-vol]

So if its a booster/church buddy then you must go to Cedar Springs, Concord Baptist, Sevier Heights Baptist or Central Baptist? More likely one of the first two, amarite?

No. Wouldn't tell if you were though.

 

['Boro-vol]

There are connected boosters in other parts of the state...

Xactly...but I'm in Knoxville.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Patterson would be good. That's probably the only other splash higher that would satisfy everybody.

I would agree with that

 

[VFL1010]

Ainge just said, he knows Gruden will never come, he knows it will never happen and it's lost its luster.

meh. C'mon man!

 

[B EaZy40]

No. Wouldn't tell if you were though.

I wouldnt either

 

[allvols4life]

No thank you.

I insist

 

[preacherwebb]

No...for real! When the house was burning down yesterday evening your dogged pursuit of these skills caused me many giggles and lowered my blood pressure.

Sweet!!!
Glad I could be of service.

Lol so VolNugs was the one that stated Jon Gruden turned down the job and then came back two hours later stated this:
VOL NUGS @VOLnugs
Big Beefe (Internet) 2/2 : Any reports that Jon turned them down last night are NOT coming from the AD.

Volnugs didn't say that. He just reports what is said on TOS. It was HBomb who said Gruden turned it down.

 

[Vfl2407]

First post, Go VOLS and SOON

I gave you a like as a welcome and also your name.
If you are a Vol that lives in tuscaloser, May theLord be with you, my son. That has to be rough.

Think about who employees Ainge.

 

[84Volfan]

I could see 2 scenarios with the firing/resignation of Butch playing out.

1. After the Bammer game sunday/Monday and let the interim finish season which is the most popular opinion

2. After Kentucky win or lose and let the interim coach his first game against a relatively easier opponent.

Personally I'm leaning more towards 2 but hoping for 1.

 

[KeyVol14]

Volnugs didn't say that. He just reports what is said on TOS. It was HBomb who said Gruden turned it down.

Is he pretty credible? Like I said my optimism is way down but I'm not gonna make a judgement until Boro or DTO comes out with this news

You know what's lost its luster? Erik Ainge. He's so generic in his comments. Makes so many excuses for Butch. I can't listen to him.

 

[Behr]

Yea, I'm gone need to know where you go to church.


Lulz.

It's been posted before, but Vol Nugs isn't a "source." Vol Nugs posts things that are said on here, TOS, and other sites.

 

[LittleDTO]

In all seriousness, if we miss on Gruden and Kelly, who would be left that would satisfy Volnation? I'm not too excited about the remaining options and it sure as hell better not be Mike Bobo

Kelly is going to UCLA. West coast guy and to much personal baggage.

 

[wildorange]

Erik is no Danny that's for sure! LOL! SOON!!!!!

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Ainge just said, he knows Gruden will never come, he knows it will never happen and it's lost its luster.

meh. C'mon man!

Ainge also said yesterday for his listeners to name one coach who would come here better than Butch Jones, the guy can't and shouldn't be taken for real

 

[preacherwebb]

His name is GRUDEN!

EDIT: SNAP. The link thingy didn't work either!

Thanks for clarifying..I don't have a VQ or 247 account so until I hear it coming from somebody credible here I'm gonna wait and see. Still don't like our chances as of rn

The most interesting piece to this, as far as I'm concerned, is the Phil as interim rumor. No way can Phil be named interim without simultaneously announcing Gruden.

 

[steve328]

Finally caught up and still waiting. Waiting for more Grumors knowing I'm not going to hear much until after the bama game. May start hearing something officially after that (hopefully, JMO ). Wild night last night.

Good morning everybody.

I'm sorry, but EA doesn't make excuses for Butch. He is being realistic. He's familiar with this situation. Bash me if you will, but I think he gives a great insight to this process as well as breaking down the games.

GBO!!! :rock:
