Official Jon Gruden Thread XVII

[Volzonya]

As I smoke the days last cigarette cursing my foul weakness with foul breathe, Gruden is sitting up in bed next to his sleeping wife with his readers on drawing up plays based on South Carolina film study in Tennessee. Life is Grud!

 

[Catbone]

Mike Leach is a no brainier right? Got humiliated by a mediocre team tonight. He doesn't want any part of the SEC.

Still prolly an upgrade from what we have

Yes but that isn't saying much.

 

[Ibracadabra]

I'm drankin. I think I need to hide my phone from myself...in a different spot than where I hid my Jameson from myself.

Seconded on the Jameson. Hahaha.

 

[Volzonya]

Seconded on the Jameson. Hahaha.

Word! Jameson is devilishly grud!

 

[STL0611]

Cutcliffe played at Alabama until injuries forced him out.

I didn't take time to read this BS thread! No use, Jon Gruden has always said he will never coach College Football! Get off this BS and support the coach you have now. Yes alot of doubts and negative comments. You ALL Negavols are killing our recruiting! Man Up! Yes I have peers in this program. Dont you think Butch, Players, Recruits see this BS? I know for a fact they are! We've done lost one and another has opened up his recruitment (Local talent). Keepit up we want have sh**!

As I sit here buzzed in Nashville, drinking Rowan’s Creek (friend is master distiller and family started Willett Distillery, humble brag), I am hopeful for good news in the coming weeks. I may not support Butch Jones, but I will always support the players. With that being said, I’m torn. I want to win but at the same time, I want the head man outta here. I was a lurker in 2012 during the many Gruden threads and I believed! Now that we’re in much better shape in terms of the roster and in much better financial standing, I truly believe we have a better opportunity to land Gruden than we did in 2012. If we don’t land him (I’ll believe it when I see it), here are my top 5.

1. Gruden - for obvious reasons
2. Kelly - spare me the show cause, the NCAA said he had nothing to do with what happened but punished him anyway bc he was the HC, this guy will win
2b: Patterson - wins on a consistent basis while having recruiting classes outside the top 25
4. Dan Mullen - guy does a lot with a team who never recruits in the top 25 and competed every year in the country’s toughest division
5. Jeff Brohm (I’m a WKU grad)

Wild card - 85 year old Tom Osbourn (again, I’m sipping on that craft bourbon so please forgive me)

His face set in concerted angles of self fullfiment and ego, Saban wads up the parchment containing another half drawn play and absently tosses it in the waist bin.

Driven off pure id, his monochramatic primal instincts for domination compelling him, Saban will not rest. The plays and plans must be completed.

Saban picks up the pencil and begins diagramming the zone bump assignments. His joyless existence anchoring his discipline as he works away into the night.

Arghh... Now irrate Saban shreds the latest parchment. Befuddled by strange feelings of doubt and uncertainty "that might not work either" he bemoans to himself.

The creases on his forhead multiply as his perpetual scowl intensifies. Saban observes the pencil shaking in his hand.

Saban reflects to himself;
' He succeeded in the NFL. If he mentors QB's 1-1 it might out-do my work with DB's. He does that weird thing called smiling and seems to enjoy life. People like him. His recruiting could easily rival mine. What if he has a soul?.....'

Saban blankly stares at the blank parchment. The palpable beating of his heart inundates his thoughts. His hand visibly shaking. Saban has a very rare moment of self awareness.

"So this is what it means to be afraid" he says into the empty office.

Saban has heard the Grumors.

Grudens coming.

Is he flying to Knoxville to meet Gruden?

 

[tnvols72]

Butch is proud enough of his 500 Mercedes for everyone to know about it. GRUDEN is gonna pull up in a bugatti painted VOLS Orange and toss the keys to Butch and say...

[OrangSunburst]

well it is 4 AM. ready for a big day. Gruden is likely already standing at mid-field in Neyland waiting to watch the sunrise in his new temple.

as he watches the night sky spill off the horizon to give way to the smooth orange hue peeking from the east, he will stand at full salute to the new morning, for he knows what this day means to his legacy and to all those that bleed orange.

AND ALL GRUDEN’S PEOPLE SAID AMEN 🤘🏼🍊

 

[Run-da-ball-vol]

AMEN.....soon.

 

[Volbrando]

Quick someone paint the rock asking gruden to be our next coach before the game

This!!!!! Hopefully someone thought of that. I can't believe nobody has brought that up!

 

[Vfl2407]

Yes.
We all should be forming a Great Grude greeting line.
:worship::worship::worship:

 

[Vfl2407]

It shouldn’t be mean though.
I suggest:
“Thanks, Butch. But, it’s now Gruden time.”

I agree. Perfect

Almost 5000 posts for the great "grudini" who will wave his hand and make botch disappear...

 

[VFLnSFD]

After two full days of continuing education seminars, this is really good for me. I feel like my brain is unfolding.

I agree.

I dunno, it doesn't sit well with me to actively root for UT to lose.

I'm more along the lines of "it won't bother me if we lose" or "I will be kinda relieved if we lose".

At the beginning of the season I told my brothers that I was ready to get started so that we could start the process of firing Butch and getting a new coach. Kind of like picking up the first box in the garage when you go to clean it out.

I don't actively want Tennessee to lose, I want to clean things out so we can really win again.
