Official Jon Gruden Thread XVI

[Sheath Huler]

In a way, this was bound to happen, not sure why we expected more of this administration. It was fun though.

Just like Doolz, I don't blame Jones for taking the job. Just a terrible, rushed, panic hire IMO.

Awful. 3-4 years with no more than 7 wins and then gone. Apme will say thats the best we can do. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Volgrad98]

Boro, I'm with ya.

I gave Dooley the benefit of the doubt. Not again.

Not saying I agree with this hire, but at least this guy has a winning record. Small consolation I know...

 

[GmanTN]

Until Cheek, Hart and Susan Martin are no longer part of the university, I cannot see UT returning to glory.

 

[volatil]

Thanks guys. This has been fun. Y'all have made this trying time in UT football easier to take.

 

[82_VOL_83]

In here. Pile on. I'm no shirker or excuse maker.

No way bud, I think we really may have had a chance at one point. I think that Gruden got cold feet and started adding on demands that the boosters couldn't handle. We will most likely never know unless someone gets one of them drunk enough to spill the beans. Keep on posting boss. I will read away and as always, take everything with a grain of salt.

 

[vol4life03]

well fellow grudenites it has been a fun run im going to miss this thread

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Bielima just said on mike and mike he talked with Tennessee on Sunday. This board truly didn't know what was going on.

Add insult to injury...Bielema chose Arkansas over Tennessee. UGH!!

 

[voldawgforever]

I can't believe it, just like the rest of you.

Only thing I've heard is that Hart put pretty much did this and made it happen before the boosters could get in the way of it.

**** sucks. Wow

Alabama is proof that this is NOT TRUE.

 

[Sheath Huler]

Mid-major'd

 

[SmokeyLives]

In here. Pile on. I'm no shirker or excuse maker.

Stand up. You went with what you believed to be true, and made it known without looking for credit. Thanks for going out on a limb.

Plus, that is a killer avatar. I see Greg Amsley has one similar on TOS.

:good!::good!::good!::good!::good!:

 

[tennvols77]

I bet you cheered Strong declining. See Ya. I'm not happy, but never believed the smokescreen theory.

The process and the outcome are the problem, we look beyond pathetic and second rate, you happy about that?
The coach is a moot point.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

At least with strong, you could get behind that name and he could recruit. Butch ****ing Jones. None of us will be able to talk up our university for some time to come. We shouldve just kept Dooley and fired sal. Bc hart is the Dumb ass to hire sal

 

['Boro-vol]

You have no reason to point fingers or call anyone a sheep.

Sure I do. Groupthink and blind acceptance of mediocrity git us here.

I've been out here sticking to my guns. I may have been sorely mistaken, but a sheep I am not.

 

[cjbongoinstructor]

Did babyvol or whatever that guys name was get his lifetime ban yet?

 

[InVOLuntary]

And the division of a fanbase continues....

Oh I think the majority of the fan base is united.... against this hire and the administration that thinks they can sell this shiz.

 

[AV_12]

A sheep says "Baaahhh". I'm not a sheep.

You helped divide the fanbase with booster BS, so this is not funny to me. But I'm sure your sheep will continue to like your post. At least you have that going for you

 

[Orangejello]

This sucks. The direction sucks. The azz whipping we are headed for sucks. People who claimed to have inside info suck. Anyone who said "Just wait" in the last 2 weeks sucks. Hart, Cheek, Haslam and whoever else sucks.

Oh, and anyone who pretends to be in the know as to how we ended up with Jones instead of anyone else....sucks.

 

[Elvis68Vol]

This hire has answered the question as to whether Bray, CP, and Hunter will return.

Next year, we will have an offense that matches this year's defense.

 

[1725gatorhater]

How many will be eager to go watch vols at Neyland next year? I bet the average attendance will be around 65,000

 

[UTodd01]

Oh I think the majority of the fan base is united.... against this hire and the administration that thinks they can sell this shiz.

The Doorights are behind it 100%.

No surprise there.

 

[1world1love]

I have enjoyed hanging out with all of you fine people over the past months.

A rare bit of enjoyment as a UT fan.

OGs, you have nothing to be ashamed of. You brought a little hope to all of us.

Thank you.

I wish you all well. See you in 3 years.

1 out. peace.

 

[FalcoVol]

Sure I do. Groupthink and blind acceptance of mediocrity git us here.

I've been out here sticking to my guns. I may have been sorely mistaken, but a sheep I am not.

Groupthink? Really?

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Skeeter has proven to be the most reliable again. Sorry I doubted u

 

[865dude]

Gruden is going to come out in the middle of Jones' press conference and choke slam him. Hart stands up and yells, "psyche, smokescreen!"

 

[LameLefty]

Well MTSU just changed conferences. Perhaps there's an opening in the one they just vacated? Ugh. There's only one solution. I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
