Did those prophecies come to fruition is the question?

They were always true, just no one would believe them.

that's a very good question.

Trey Wallace on Twitter:

2 Tennessee employees I’ve spoken with tonight tell me they’ve been told to “be ready to grind over the next 3 days”. Seems John Currie & Tennessee are close to bringing this search to an end.

As in Gruden’s Grinders. Gruden to the Hill.

Had to...

Stop referring to yourself in 3rd person. Makes you look like an ass.

Jimmy can jump Its Jimmy's shoes Jimy likes Elaine

It's a Catholic University with string academic standards and Bible study. What else needs to be said? Especially when they are playing a left Coast team.

Nice side step...it's a Gruden thread so I'll let it be.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

That's still boom worthy imo. Love Harbor Freight.

Gruden to the Hill

After this is all said and done, I'd like to hear who exactly you are. :birgits_giggle:

 

[TruVolGritt]

You’re correct however he was funny

And we were given BUENOS GRUDOS :rock:

 

[Steelcurtain]

Do what?

Scarabeans

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

so if what you are suggesting turns out to be false will you admit that either you or your sources were full of crap? Not trying to be a jerk , serious question for you or any other so called "insider"

I've already just a few post back admitting that one of my sources gave me false info when he told me a good while back that Gruden was a done deal and happened in Tampa. I found out that was NOT TRUE. Therefore I do not contact him anymore for info. He is within the country music business but it was not who some on here thought it was. He did give me some reliable info but when I found out he was wrong on that. Then I stopped going to him. I've got 3 contacts and that's it. One is kin to C. Brinkly, and the other is a close friends with fulmer.

Exactly what I thought.

Scuttle butt around the club level was make a run at Mullen tonight into tomorrow morning depending on how much Miss State is willing to throw at him, have both Leach and Miles on the hook to choose from if it falls through with a lean towards Miles. That was supposedly where Currie disappeared to during the game.

I hope it's all 100 percent rumors/speculation because I really don't want to stop going to games, at some point you just have to make a line and not cross it. UT is like an addict, they make tons of promises but in the end just want to manipulate you into giving them money.

If it's ANY one of those I'm friggin out.

I'll spend my time in the woods or with family next fall.

I really don’t want any of those. It’s like a poo poo platter of options.

Go Stanford!

I despise Notre Dame nearly as much as I do Bama.

proves nothing...

He, or someone he knows, could be mulling over a transfer. This is reaching

Don't worry about it at all. He later tweeted it was about personal things, not football. Sorry for sharing that.

 

[XVol64]

SIAP just got home from the game... any comments on Kiffin's tweet with 2 VFLs earlier...

I mentioned something about Lane Kiffin's twitter pic earlier and no one responded. I don't know when this pic was taken, but is that his son Knox with him and is hewearing a black and orange Jersey?

 

[spyfish007]

My phone just vibrated an said Big Announcement, and I got fired up; it was a false alarm. Harbor Freight is having a big sale.

That has to suck

 

[peerless98]

Bingo!

Exactly

Also something about his jeans and all of us are peckers

One of the most reliable well-informed connected posters on any Vol website said the Gruden deal was done in 2012--had highly reliable sources, the best sources. Gruden had agreed and the people putting the deal together took it to Hart, signed, sealed, and delivered. But, Hart didn't sign off on it. Exactly why is speculation. Some thought it was Hart not wanting to give up power that Gruden demanded. Some of us think it was because Hart just wanted to show he was in charge. So, was the poster wrong? Did he give bad or misleading info? No. We had Gruden. But, Hart rejected him. So, what you are asking is being a jerk. It's what makes people not share what they are told from "insiders" or "connected" people. JMO. You are entitled to yours. Keep in mind I have been wrong, once, but that was when I thought I was wrong and wasn't.

Who is C. Brinkly?

 

[vol.E]

I really don’t want any of those. It’s like a poo poo platter of options.

At least Leach has some comedy in his routine.

(I’m not advocating a Leach hire, but he’d at least bring entertainment and prolly win at a higher level than we’re giving credit for)

 

[VFL92]

Don't take this the wrong way, but are you not saying it with 100% certainty?

Am I certain of this? Yes. But my point is that there has been so much secrecy, so much mis-information, flights to throw people off, and reporters speculating, that it's going to be near impossible for anyone to make sense of it all.

Would be great for Currie to write a summary of events after the fact. It could make for a blueprint for other ADs on how to handle a coach search. He's been brilliant and one step ahead of everyone. Or 5 steps.

When it's over, he'll be celebrated and we'll all tip our hat. :hi:
