Official Jon Gruden Thread XIX

[TN-POSSUM]

Ohh lawd!! I take my wife out for her birthday and come back to a full blown frenzy.

The last pages of the previous thread was like watching sharks in a chum cloud. The one bright spot was “Preacher” discovering the gift of gifs ... Awesome!!

The beauty of the Gruden threads is the overriding optimism of those that want Tennessee to shoot for the Grude. Gruden represents that ultimate mixture of a championship NFL head coach, respected football knowledge, national name recognition, humor, TV presence and deep ties to The University of Tennessee and the State. He represents the best of Johnny Majors, Phillip Fulmer and John Ward. He is the closest and best thing that we think can take us to those good times. Peyton is not going to coach; Tee is building his resume on the West coast; and Jim Bob is doing the same in the NFL.

I have had season tickets and donated for the last 30 years and have contacts in the University and Volunteer Fund; I have a few VFLs that I went to school with; and other VFLs that I have sat with in Neyland for the last 20 years. The point being, even with all that, I don’t have any real insider information. I can get a feel from them what is brewing, but nothing verifiable. Hell, for all I know they get their info from VN.

I don’t post much or follow a specific VN group (FF, RF, PF, Pub or Zone). I will admit that I do get much lulz from the Zoners, so I guess they are my favorites. I don’t personally know DTO, Boro, Slice or Knucklehead or who, or how-well placed, their contacts may be. I do know that they have been on VN for the long haul. I’ve been on here since 2008, lurking until I signed up in 2011. After that many years, you get a feel for those posters that bring solid good information for the most part and to the best of their ability, primarily because they want to share with their VN brothers and sisters. Nobody was more bummed than Boro after the 2012 let down. But dag-nab-it, we had some fun with it.

The one thing I learned in 2012 was … it ain’t over till it’s over, good or bad, so enjoy the ride or GTFO.

IAGL. YBH. Dilly, dilly.

This is absolutely spot on.

Swear people were saying a few pages back that his account was hacked.

They did.

 

[buckfama]

Yep that was me. My offer to buy you lunch is still valid.

Wtheck? No lunch for me? I'll bring Swiss rolls!!!😉😉😉

 

[VolFootballIsLife]

Where did he state that?

Don't know. Read that in here...that's why I had to add the 'I believe' part.

EB4H done got computer savvy after learning how to blur names 😂😂

 

[LittleDTO]

People that don't know anyone, and don't believe you do either.

That’s why I said I’m done posting. We know what we know. I don’t have time for college kids and effeminate adult men, bashing me.

He comes or he doesn’t. Doesn’t change what the truth is when we posted it.

[Crazy Ivan]

They are 😱 scared, because they know if we hire a big fish right now, they are going to get behind. We will be years ahead.😇

Because we have a history of hiring big fishes.

Did you just move to Powell? If so absolutely, especially if you bring dessert.

There's a ton of estrogen flying around in this thread.

 

[ShooterVFL]

Any real news to share tonight fellas?

Can anyone give me a rundown so I ain't gotta read 30 pages

Buyout negotiations are taking place and were initiated by Butch. They are not finalized however as some have said. Gruden has the offer, it will come down to whether or not he really wants to coach again.

Don't let them get to you. They're just jealous because they have no friends.

 

[EezyE]

He claimed he was hacked I believe

According to Ron, the thread is still up on VQ and he thinks if he’d been hacked, the thread would have been deleted.

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

It's all true.

Till it isn't.

Fine! Take your Grumors and go home!

Jk 😂

Long time lurker...I think there are many in this thread that appreciate the info you and boro give. Others are in the wrong place as the thread largely lives on the info provided by you two.

 

[GRN1926]

So now LWS confirms they are talking with Gruden.... Hmmmmm, the plot thickens?

He also says he would put less than 5% chance of it actually happening. Sorry to be negative, I love the grumors but wanted it taken in full context

 

[VolFootballIsLife]

It's all true.

Till it isn't.

Will be a sad day for many

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Preciate the tidbits

According to Ron, the thread is still up on VQ and he thinks if he’d been hacked, the thread would have been deleted.

It's still up. He claims he was hacked earlier but got control back. I doubted he was really hacked. Figured he'd let the genie out nd couldn't get it back in.

 

[Orange defense]

Because we have a history of hiring big fishes.

Yeppers, that we have, and we need to continue this route.

 

[Volwark]

Well, anybody?

Summary of what happened:

-LWS posted, speculating on how soon Gruden could start if Butch was let go

-LWS claims he was hacked

-afterwards, supposedly the real LWS continues to speculate on the chances of Gruden coming here, citing that he believes they are dealing with him and him alone as a candidate. Believes Gruden to be a possibility, but low chance (5%)

Got slapped on the wrist and had to create a story.
