Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVI

[Marinedad]

dammit boom

 

[Vol-in-Bham]

Okay which is it

Option A: Currie fired because Haslam is being put in his place
or
Option B: Currie fired because he finally stood up to Haslam and went after Leach (who would never be controlled like we talked about last night) and thus Haslam still in control

 

[utvfl23]

Question... What is the relationship between blackburn and Fulmer.... good or bad??

 

[Jfoley89]

It's a beautiful morning to see Currie scurry out the door

Kinda paints Phil in a bad light.

If I had to guess Haslam was notified this morning that they were cutting the strings off of his puppet. So of course he decides to Throw more money at the media to get this story out as soon as they named Fulmer interim AD.
Haslam wont go down without swinging and with the family resources and ties to politics he’s well aware of how to use the media to push your agenda, he’s been doing it all week bashing the fans for nixing his hire Schiano.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

He doesn't have any plain answers. That's the long and short of it.

He may not.

If not, he should slink quietly away.

But if he does have answers, I'm more than willing to listen to them and judge them on their merits.

Waiting for his response.

 

[OldTimer]

this is a Gruden thread, right?

Yes congrats.

We just had an AD fired for trying to hire a coach that the majority of the fan base favored....well played

Regardless of the 'puppet master' theory, if this is true it's not something I'd be happy about.

You sound sour if it looked any other way than what you just described then explain to me how you think it's been going over the years

 

[RockyTopSC]

Ok. I am saying this and no more. The reports about Phil will start to circulate he undermined John. So that may eliminate him. David is not a candidate from what I understand as of last night. He is dealing with other “things”. Charles has AD experience is a national sportscaster and is orange to the core. I see him as the only shot to get orange blood in the chair. So do many others so we need the fans to rally around him and see if we can get him home.

Don’t take any of this as short. I can keep up with this place and everything else that going on now. I can’t get off the phone long enough to get a drink.

 

[VFL97]

I obviously know who Charles Davis

However I don’t know enough about his background

Can you share something and are WE 100% sure he would be on the RIGHT side

All I can say is that Charles is super good guy who I met when he was working at Disney in Orlando.

I can't speak to his credentials other than to say I thought he was very good in the broadcast booth.

 

[Ostrich]

Currie gone.. SOON?!

CD would be an excellent choice for AD. Make it happen.

 

[309VFL]

did we really fire currie

 

[HeadVol77]

Then you’re part of the problem

You can thank us when we’re done

Until then................BYE

 

[SmileyVol_c/o_10]

So Leach was a last ditch effort by Currie to save his job?
And who actually fired Currie? Did Haslam fire currie for going against him with leach or did the collective anti Haslam crowd fire currie for offering leach? does leach have anything to do with this? sorry for all the questions

 

[GBO25]

From his FoxSports profile

After retiring from football, Davis performed a variety of different roles during the 1990s. He served as an assistant athletic director at Stanford University, director of the United States Olympic Training Center and also became the first African-American tournament director in PGA Tour history when he ran the Disney Golf Classic from 1998-2000. Aside from his duties as a game analyst for FOX, he stays connected to the sport year-round, intensifying his study of players who are eligible for the annual NFL Draft at the conclusion of each college football season. With a regular place on the NFL Network’s draft lead-up programming, Davis has gained notoriety and positive reviews for his depth of familiarity with prospects across all ranges of the draft. He has staffed each of the last eight Senior Bowls and NFL Combines, and has also been a part of NFLN’s live draft weekend coverage since 2007.

Oh not to worry I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

And I'll never thank someone for something they have no clarity into the end game of.
