Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVIII

[MaTaLa]

With the HOF thing tomorrow I don't think we'll hear anything definite till after that re: who the next coach will be.

 

[SouthpawTN]

Beaver doesn't know sh$t.

Never has. He knew the name of Ivan the bartender and ever since then people thought he was a prophet. Just a troll with a rich dad most likely.

Per a couple folks tonight n NYC: Venables & Morris names pop up a lot for #Vols. Pruitt “killed it” (very well) Monday n Dallas w/ Fulmer & Co. Miles, Steele remain in play. Lotsa talk to “bring Tee home, groom for (hc) job.” Told “Peterson talk wasn’t too promising again.”

 

[VFL2098]

I have to say I hope more than anything that it’s Gruden but I’m so ready to be over this. I haven’t been worth nothing for a week now at work for trying to keep up. I hope this ends tomorrow!

 

[SoKnoxVol]

I think Steele has been gauges for his interest in a coordinator position. I think Hubbs is guessing after hearing his name.

 

[KB5252]

I completely agree.

Let's be honest, he is an attention whore. I can see him doing that.

With that said we need him.

Here's the whole convo that just occurred on MNF:

Jon -- There's Cameron Sutton in coverage; Cameron Sutton out of the University of Tennessee replacing blah blah who is stuggling -- There's Sutton a 3rd round pick.

Long pause

Jon: They (Steelers) need a stop
Sean: His Alma Mater needs a coach
Jon: Sure do
Sean: University of Tennessee
Jon: Hopefully be a matter of time; Been a long while since they've solved that
Sean: Yes. (Next play starts) Well if you had just answered the call, you could've saved them an awful lot of trouble there on Rocky Top.

Sean goes on to finish the next play call and brings up Mixon's injury causing depth problems at RB, so would've been awkward for Jon to interject and say anything else about UT.

It really almost sounds like Sean was calling gruden rocky top cause I never heard him say “on” Rocky Top

Beaver doesn't know sh$t.

Bout done with his shizz too.

He might have been right before Curries sellout, but grasping at straws since.

Dont worry, I wasnt counting on an invite to the VIP party anyway. Lol

 

[KPT_VFL]

Bev at the donor party

Would.

 

[TJunky]

Miles isn’t reaching for the stars.

[Orange&White]

I don’t know how much more I can take of all this uncertainty.

Agreed. This has consumed my life. And it's not like we have a list of great candidates to choose from or hope to be our next HC. Instead, it is the possibility of a great hire with a lot of mediocre candidates being thrown around too. So either we are going to be pleasantly surprised or enraged/underwhelmed by this hire.

 

[Orange&White]

Bev at the donor party

I see Gruden....

 

[lifeVol]

Hubbs is talking the Steele

Protest again if Steele is announced??

I would find it difficult to believe, but given what has transpired anything's possible I suppose, that the booster money behind Philip would settle for Steele ... DC sure, HC don't believe it ... jmo

One thing wrong with this...Pruitt killed it

 

[LAVol1]

I understand....no harm, no foul.

It's funny...I'm damned when I know something, and damned when I don't.

That's the life of a message board icon.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Lol. Fun isn't it?

 

[AmoebaVol]

Bev at the donor party

Hey, I see a brother back there! Alright!

 

[Hawkpilot]

I'll just say if Gruden is not our next HC, he is dead to me. Sorry but it's gotten to that point with me. Respect my decision.

Same. Starting to seem like a prima donna.

 

[preacherwebb]

There it was.

That was it?

but what was it?

 

[chrrinma]

What pisses me off are the ones who come in here and are disrespectful and act like we are morons for believing it was a possibility. I am also realistic, but after the last 10 years you can't fault anybody for wanting to believe that we will be great again. For me, it's bigger than Gruden..... i'm fighting against apathy.

Never once was I disrespectful, nor did I say people were morons for believing the gruden hype. I fell for the gruden hype as well. And I still reach for every grumor that I can find, but it is idiotic to not talk other coaches and only focus in on the one coach that is probably the least chance of coming to UT. Believe me, I want it to happen. And I follow this post every night, but it pisses me off as well when people, such as yourself, come in here and scream to the high heavens when someone else even dares to mention another coach not named Jon Gruden. If you think I was being disrespectful, then I sincerely apologize. Snowflake.

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

OK, Gruden or bust.

But why would Steele be even considered over Miles?

[Squints]

Lol.

Lighten up, man. Sometimes, it's hard for people to read me on here, but I don't mean ill-will. I'm as ready for this to be over as everyone else. I've exhausted myself over this and have gotten some looks from my wife that would make Coach Summitt proud.

 

[SandoVOL]

Why didn't we, while we were mass emailing the AD, ask for them to give us an answer on Gruden..?

email phil and beg him to put it in the ground if its all just conjecture. Some of us have already.
