Official Jon Gruden Thread XVIII

[ER Vol]

Shut it down, funniest post of the day. No one else even needs to try. Thanks for sharing!

Where is Dooley when you need some etiquette taught??

 

['Boro-vol]

lol I didn't know what to think when I first saw this, I'm actually speechless on this matter.

Yeah...are there no sororities anymore?

 

[Vol2B]

I've never, not once, predicted Gruden. All my original information, dating from Georgia weekend, was simply that Butch is gone, and that the replacement would be a big time hire...no more project coaches. All of the obstacles to that happening were eliminated. All Grumor-fun aside I've taken a very wait-and-see approach.

Since then I've heard whispers from people that don't normally speak of such things about interest from the one we want.

What I was told yesterday was from a very personal connection to the party in question. It coincided with some other things going around, and has pegged my meter at this point.

Let it be so. Totally Grudetastic man!

And right there is the reason Mr. Currie has slow played this.

And you also get a

The man is playing Chess while Butch continues playing Chutes and Ladders.

I take back everything bad I said about him when we didn't get Blackburn.

No way Butch coaches against Bama. Even if he’s willing, Currie ain’t allowing a checked out coach to represent UT.

 

[Volbrando]

This is working out really well for everyone. Now if we can just land gruden

Smart of Butch to negotiate buyout as well so he can move on and coach again

 

[mrmax86]

So now the buyout will be smaller. Smart.

This is what they get for suspending sex week IMO JMO IMHO

I've not believed it before today...if this news is true I totally agree.

 

[VFLnSFD]

Butch's lawyers and agent negotiating with Currie for his buyout. Apparently, Butch and family have decided Knoxville is too toxic. He wants out now.

I'd call this "The Neyland Effect."

 

[Hawkpilot]

I don't know Currie AT ALL. However, I am pretty good at reading people. He seems like a steely eyed poker player and a business man who will play the long game if he needs to. He holds all the cards. Make Butch flinch and save some $$.

Accurate

 

[LittleDTO]

Any truth to what Basilio is putting out this morning?

I live in Nashville. Don't listen to Knox radio. What is being said by him?

Yea he played it very well. I thought it was done last night. But we'll see. Could last another few days.

I’m afraid to get my hopes up.

 

[OrngeChkrboardVFL]

Too toxic?? I really really hope that people aren't being straight a**holes to the Jones family. This is football which is emotional and all that, but they haven't done anything to warrant disrespect.

Butch is nasi ally resigning and they are currently working on his buyout who h should be reduced. I have no idea exactly what Bassilio is saying but something similar from the other thread.

 

[Boston Vol]

Accurate

That’s so great

Great news!

I'm off to the beach, hold down the fort.

Oh, you know it's happening. For every hundred kind-hearted fans, there is 1...tail-hole.

Wonder if Butch enjoyed having Gruden at practice and in the stands. Fans treating him like a rock star all around Knoxville.
