Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVI

[VFL2098]

There is a reason that no other school has offered him. Plenty of other SEC schools had openings this year, plus all the openings in other places previous years. Usually that means there something well known wrong with him. The “taboo” that he got from being fired at LSU should have worn off by now.

I agree. I do think the old dude can coach though and has the record to prove it. But....I’m still all in with Gruden!

i picture currie 6 months from now, when he's long since fired, at the asylum walking around in pjs interviewing other patients.

I like Mike Leach... from afar. Funny to listen to and a good coach. I honestly think given enough stress, he would snap at some point though.

If you're a white male you're racist by default to a sizable portion of the population.

I am and I know. But not all in my immediate family is, so I don't play that ish.

 

[Behr]

I think so too, but I just don't want ANYONE to mistake me for being racist or coming off like it.

Can't speak for him or anyone else, but I didn't get that. At. All.

Pretty sure you good!

 

[TJunky]

I have an idea. Why don't the boosters on our side pay some popular people on twitter to float #firecurrie.

Make it a d*mn meme and let it explode.

He's not dubbed the Mad Scientist for nothing. Maybe he and Witch Doctor can brew up a cauldron for Haslam.

Witchy will give him some Majik herb and he'll really go mad scientist!
Witchy knows football BNL

You don't have to make Tee look bad. We just have to DEMAND that Currie is fired first.

Good grief how much more does it take for UT to see the light! Dadgum it seems they are trying to sabotage us from within. It's pathetic. No way Currie should ever be allowed to make this hire. If he does it's their funeral.:rock:

 

[Mike4Vols]

So does anyone think they don’t try with Miles? Would he be the last offer? According to folks on Twitter he says he’d take the job

That's exactly why they don't interview him. Because he would take the job.

Something fishy is going on here.

The fact that he’s 64 is the biggest deterrent. There is no longevity there. You get him for a couple years then he retires.

 

[VolEngineer]

Currie will have an interview leaked with someone on the west coast to get that guy a raise like the others. Make it look like he's looking so that when Gruden and his OC Tee get announced Saturday it won't look like it was the plan since Sunday when Currie went rogue and tried to hire Schiano for Haslam. They want Gruden to look like he was an out of the blue hire and not caught in the Schiano mess. He had to be there guy before Currie went off to Ohio Sunday. There souldnt have been such an uproar if not

Or how about #Grumors? That one would be cool too.

 

[volgr]

I thought Skeeter had the goods on Haslam that he was going to release on Twitter. Still waiting.

 

[goinuponatuesday]

Not bashing him makes us racist?

Reread it please

Have you ever considered this scenario??? Tee wants to get back to Tennessee, he also has goals to become a head coach. In the first scenario he was approached as a package deal with gruden. In the second scenario he has about 9 schools looking for his interest in head coaching vacancies. Now, currie and haslam have had their hand forced, if they reached out to him, vfl's are probably
Pushing him to take it in which tee is listening, his close friends and family are against him
Coming back until the administration is clear. He has always put family first.........

Leach has always reminded me of a drunk Bob Huggins.. The bball coach at West Virginia.. And I think Cincinnati

Just like everyone else letting us down

 

[TJunky]

Normally I enjoy getting jerked off but this is annoying.

They are trying to prove they are right...You don't see it, but you are literally watching a power struggle play out right now. If Currie makes the hire...Haslam remains where he is. If Currie is marginalized, you have the change you have been wanting for at least 8 years.

 

[sptnut]

Watching the Redskins vs Cowboys game right now...Dooley on the sideline wearing Orange...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Dear heavens no!! Our OL still hasn't recovered from him not recruiting.

I promise I took a shower yesterday. I had today off so I thought I would smell like🥃🍺🥃

 

[kyvolsfan]

Tweet VFL's with warnings of Currie & Co If they are in power they will hire and burn Tee down, just to prove a point and remain in power. Maybe they have trusted people to call to see how close Currie is to being done. Cant see anything else we can do, without coming off like we dont want Tee here

 

[TruVolGritt]

Then WTF was our AD doing in California???

He's not our AD he's HOH AD our AD has yet to be hired, that said....WTF is Haslams AD doing on the West coast anyway?

Way fishy. Its almost like it’s crazy not to believe in the Grude plan.

I wonder if this was his way of getting coaches their raises cause Gruden’s cool like that with fellow coaches and it backfired.
