Official Jon Gruden Thread XXII

[butchna]

Why - on Earth - would Butch Jones agree to a lower buyout? The charts suggest otherwise.

Soon.

Cash up front? Some like a lump sum when you’re talking lottery numbers.

 

[FacelessArya]

If no butch and they are next to mine, bid on them, i'll take them

It ends tomorrow and I'll be back down there im time for the end of the auction. I think I'm gonna bid on them.

Is Y6, row 53 an upper or lower section?

 

[VFLnSFD]

Where do you work? I work at Jackson-General

I have a cousin there now. Word is that y'all have taken excellent care of him.

1. He's miserable.
2. He's angry.
3. All of the negative media makes him look bad.
4. Negative media hurts his ability to sell himself at another big job.
5. At the end of the season he'll have to compete with other, more successful coaches for job openings.
6. He wanted to leave last year.
7. Gruden is coming and hell is coming with him.

Yes to all. Jimmy Sexton can only do so much. Butch's reputation is becoming a national joke, not just a conference joke.

Plus...is there any law that says he can't have a vacation home? I think he can afford it.

That's a damn nice vacation home.

Lower. Good seats

So, I'm working at another healthcare facility today than my usual, and they are having a silent auction for Alzheimer's. I'm browsing the various baskets and the only one that doesn't have bids is the Tennessee basket with 2 tickets to the Homecoming game and various Tennessee things. Starting bid is $25, so far no takers. So sad.

Butch is now affecting fundraising for charity.

I would bid on it, were I there. Great cause. I see all to often, as I'm sure you do as well, the crippling effect of this horrible disease on both the patients and their families.

 

[FacelessArya]

Lower. Good seats

Thanks. I'm gonna do it.

 

[Skizer41]

Just pointing this out, because I think Hyams is always late with news, but I think that is because he likes to make sure he is right. But:

If you remember correctly about two weeks ago Hyams said Jones is here THROUGH the UK.

What are the chances he knows something but will not report it in fear he won't have as much access with the next administration.

Not really earth shattering. Just trying to look at the big picture.

Absolutely. Thank you.

People don’t fall for this. If he loses then yes we could all see him gone but if he wins he ain’t going anywhere yet.

 

[VolsFanJC]

Same here, what dept. are you in?

ICU team builder. I work with MRT from time to time.

[MiramarVol]

why is everyone believing DocVol??? Have I missed who this is somewhere?

Just can't help help it can you? Well, Bless your heart.

 

[mrmax86]

Best case scenario... but no way he wins on Saturday then is fired.

Now if he does some sort of resignation, I could see that. Leave on somewhat of a positive note for his reputation, and of course, UT would be happy.

Based on all I've been reading on here, a resignation is the way he's getting out, right? Accept a lower buyout and leave on good terms?

At least, I'd hope that's it.

Also, Fulmer left after a win over Kentucky, so it'd be poetic.

 

[VolsFanJC]

Is he recovering well? What floor?

 

[utmafia81]

Information Systems dept

Posted yesterday about a family member on the admin side of the AD. Told me Butch is out after Kentucky following whatever they were waiting on (still not certain what it was....buyout....structure....new coach...???)--he's still not sure and probably wouldn't have that info anyway in his position.

I didn't get to ask him yesterday about what happens if Tennessee wins on Saturday.

But I did today. "He's out either way."

Whatever they were waiting on finally came to fruition evidently and both parties finally agreed to the details.

I want to believe...

 

[apevol]

am I dead?

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

The gif/meme quality in this thread is consistently high, and for that I thank you. :hi:

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Work in Jackson and live in Selmer...

Howdy neighbor.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

am I dead?

No! He is still our coach

 

[Volwark]

am I dead?

Yes. Apparently you had drunk sex with DTO last night. Afterwards the Lord was displeased he sent you straight to hell.

 

[VFLnSFD]

So I get off my conference call (I was the one leading it, so no multi-screen multi-tasking for me) and see that both OV and the good doctor have brought the goods!! Excellent!

 

[mrmax86]

I love this one.
