Official Jon Gruden Thread XLII

[buckfama]

They have some amazing deals. I love thumbing through their flyer.

Why lose a $40 crowbar when I can lose a $23 one? Amirite?

This is sort of where I am. Just too many arrows pointing to Gruden. I almost feel like it’s Gruden, or we’re left holding our schlongs like FL.

What does it hurt to believe? It's free, it makes you feel positive, and it just adds up. Worse case I get ribbed by some buddies for a few days....best case...I get to talk sh** for years!!!

Gentlemen and ladies-
What is done is done. We cannot change this crap bucket of a season. The administration knows the fan base demands Gruden. I believe good things come when least expected. However, Gruden is expected and demanded. You thought that the stadium was empty tonight? Trot out mullentard or mcgoogle. Gruden to the Hill.

I understand the media not believing it would be Gruden but why do none of them even entertain the possibility? He has a Tennessee connection - he would seem more believable than Petersen to me. Why do they expect us to scoff at Gruden then swallow that Petersen would be possible? I remember hoping last time but they made it seem like Gruden was never in play so it's hard for me to be all in this time. There's nothing else that even seems believable out there though.

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:

The secrecy is what makes me think it may be Gruden and I'm still 50/50 as I have been all along. Nebraska has already disclosed a possible target, UCLA did, and Florida did. Why do we need to be secret? Are we afraid someone will hire a coach that we are targeting just because we are targeting him?

Welp if Mullen is in town, a lot of you insiders need to go talk to your "sources".

They can’t run the “Gruden was never an option” story this time. We know that to be false at this point.

 

[Volnut]

Christie brinkley.

Wow, I didn't know she was a Tennessee fan!

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

I’d want a pic.

This could be like Calhoun’s. Folks are seeing Gruden everywhere. Why not Mullen too?

 

[buckfama]

I'll be watching from the couch. I don't know that the folks I talked to know any more than you or me. Everyone has a rumor right now. Sadly it seems like a Vols move so it's believable.

Not sure what would make me feel worse, Les Miles or Google State.

Here is the crappy part.. with the history of the last 3 hires it wouldn't be a shock to any of us.

That's a sad testament to the leadership of our beloved Vols.

But I'm all in for Gruden until it aint..

They are going to have to prove to me again that they don't care.

 

[crparker21]

Please tell me it’s just because he wants to see a glimpse of Grudens presser.

Wow, really?

 

[NorCalVol67]

I'm glad Notre Dame lost to a West Coast team. Does that mean I am going to hell?

 

[EweTVol]

Good grief if mullen

 

[MarkVols]

WTC! We freaking have prophecy and you guys want to run with a hotel worker that is trolling.

 

[Volzonya]

I had to dial things back a bit.

Yeah. When the line gets blurry and you're pullin a 2.5 it's easy to cross it.

This is the definition of being a Grudenite.

Mississippi State DB.

Edit: This does not involve football, he later tweeted it was about personal decisions.

He is contemplating the NFL.

 

[93TNVol]

Yeah it's great seeing a Christian school with strong values lose...

Especially when the mighty Vols did it. WGAS if they are a Xtian school or not...I don't.

 

[BlueTick Vol]

While I believe Mullen is an incredible upgrade over our past two coaches, I don't see the AD and BOT sinking $340 million into Neyland and then putting Mullen in the stadium. I think he'd win here, but seems like that fits a Gruden or Peterson storyline.

Same place Kiff is staying at too. He was in the bar an hour ago.
