Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIII

[Harvester]

Guys and gals I'm going to dispel some rumors. I 'm about to break a promise I made that I wouldn't post on here about this but I'm going to even knowing many of you won't believe or choose not to believe but here goes...And no I'm not looking for e-cred or anything else unless u want to send money

The decision to fire Butch Jones HAS NOT been made. As a matter of fact, Currie has made it clear he still supports Butch and if he doesn't have any embarrassing incidents and at least makes a mid tier bowl he may be retained. The buyout HAS NOT been negotiated as many are saying...that's quite obvious since the decision to fire Butch hasn't been made. So no, the Haslams haven't agreed to pay the buyout.

Now, here's the biggie on Gruden

Jon Gruden as of 10-27-17 has told all people close to him and the boosters who have reached out to him that he has NO DESIRE to coach in Knoxville. He does however intend the move to Knoxville after the ESPN cutbacks and MNF gets scrapped by ESPN. He has said he wouldn't mind being a consultant of some sort but coaching isn't something he wants to do at the college level. Now I know many of you are wanting the man so bad that what I've said isn't going to set well with you but that is indeed fact. I seriously doubt Currie is going to sway him to coach the Vols. He does as of now intend to attend the Southern Miss game so I can only imagine that the so called insiders on this forum are gonna get fired up with him there. It means nothing. One last tidbit..Currie HAS NOT reached out to ANY coach as of today because Butch Jones is his coach and may very well be his coach next year if he finishes 8-4 or 7-5 or doesn't get blown out by KY or any other team which he considers embarrassing.

That's all the facts I know. I have opinions but I'll keep them to myself so opinions don't get confused with facts. So there you go Volnation...theres the TRUTH as of today.

I'm not saying you are wrong. I'd just like to point out that you appear to be the legendary unicorn that has connections on both sides that knows exactly what is going on.

How much stock do you own in Pilot and Direct TV?

 

[ButchBettaBeGone]

What the hell school is going to hire Botch Jones? Dudes horrible

Butch is a good car salesman...im sure SOME school will take a chance....maybe....we can hope right??

Gruden or not, this is pretty inflammatory and damning of the football program. You better hope you are wrong.

Well, this doesn't agree with much of ANYTHING we've heard from LWS, Carter or, on the other side, DTO, Boro, Atl Vol, MIT, yada yada.

 

[Squints]

So let’s get this straight
•Gruden has never been a head coach of a college team
•Gruden has never recruited one player
•Gruden has a mediocre at best NFL record
•Gruden doesn’t even really wanna coach college. Only reason he would is he’s getting laid off (proved that in 2012)
•Basically what it boils down to is Gruden is the star of NFL Monday Night Football, he knows how to talk QB lingo on TV, he won a Super Bowl with someone else’s team, and he went to UT 100 years ago.

Why do we want this guy, and more importantly why are we willing to break the bank to do it?

Blaspheme!!! He didn't attend UT, rather, his wife did. That said, he was a GA under Majors in the late '80s.

 

[Volstate]

Thanks but you were more correct leaving it in the Hymans thread....you speak no truth and that's not a flame !

You're right by GOD!

I choose not to believe you, but ty for swinging by!

Go vols

When the dust settles we will see if what I've said is fact or fiction. If I were you I'd lean more towards fact...

 

[Volzonya]

If this is true, I will root for Bama.

Butches chances of not embarrassing the UT program? 0%

 

[bevman]

ya don't say.
i ain't at there in a while now.
good rice, with steak and gravy on the buffet.

where bouts you at?

I live in Columbia... Sell groceries to independent restutants all over the Carolinas.

Mainly Beverages... bevman

 

[jp1]

This sounds about right. UT is showing us that it does not care about the football program. All they care about is $$$$....

They better come off some money, or there will be a bunch of empty seats next year.

This right here tells me all I need to know about your so-called "facts."

Since I have your permission, I choose not to believe you. Have a Grude day!

 

[VFLnSFD]

Currie would lose the fan base if Butch is still here next year. If I was Butch I wouldn't even want to be in Knoxville any longer.

He'll lose the fan base if Butch is here next week.

 

[MIT_Beaver]

They contained info that could be used in an attempt to ID MIT.

Can you please add me to Twitter and let me know what was said @VolsScotchGolf? I came back because the doxing stopped but will have to leave again if people are trying to find me.

You understand that saying he went to the SB with someone else's players is a good thing right. That means their coach sucked and was fired and he was good enough to take the same players to the super bowl.

 

[VFL92]

Long time lurker of the Gruden threads 2012 to Now... I’m over on TOS most of the time but came back here because you can’t beat this entertainment. I actually have info that can confirm the Butch accepting a buyout story. My neighbor’s Grandfather passed away who was a high up at Central Michigan and he went up for the funeral and went to the CMU/Toledo game. He sat with many of his grandfathers friends who were also higher ups at CMU. Apparently butch had reached out to people he considers friends/mentors to ask whether or not he should accept UT’s offer of a lump sum buyout and just resign to save face. So everyone just hold on we are so close.... SOON!

I love this place. All it takes is a neighbor's grandpa talking football at a funeral in Michigan to shut down even the slightest negaGrude tidbit.

well, if currie keeps butch like that guy just posted, we can pull for the gamecocks.

No one is trying to dox you. Did you see us earlier trying to convince everyone you weren't an owner of an offshore betting site?

 

[vols72]

If this is true, I will root for Bama.

Well let's not get to crazy now

I read some of your posts. No offense - seriously- but Anyone that uses the phrase “Cool Story, Bro” most likely doesn’t have inside access to Currie’s train of thought. Just my opinion.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

This thread needs a shot in the arm..

SOON, my fellow Grudenites..

As much as I don’t like it either, this is what I think is really the case. I hope I’m wrong.

Your facts could not be more wrong. The decision to fire Butch was made several weeks ago.

 

[tnhunter 10]

He'll lose the fan base if Butch is here next week.

Very true, I was done with Butch after the SC game last year.

 

[andywilson001]

Gruden odds just dropped to (+250)

😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

 

[DownTheField]

The notion that PM would have any involvement whatsoever in a coaching search before there was an official opening should have been enough for any one to immediately call bs.

Problems with this line of thinking:

All the Gruden aside lets only look at the Currie wants to keep Butch thing. The pressure from fans, alumni and boosters will not allow for this sham of a coach to continue. He doesn't know how to develop talent, his offensive scheme is crap in the SEC and he blames it on the players. Our recruiting is tanking before our eyes and you think Currie wants to show off an empty 102455 every Saturday. Get your mind right. Butch coach next year
