tifwiw:

Rumor going that butch was just fired.

I heard this from a source not in the know.

we can dream.

[BJWeeks]

If Butch is fired tonight it has more to do with pressure that McElwain was fired and not that Gruden is ready to go IMO

 

[daj2576]

If Gruden does come, I can’t wait to see what all the naysayers out in the Twittersphere who are saying Tennessee fans are delusional have to say about it.

They’ll say he sucks. Fired from three jobs. Has erectile dysfunction. Etc. etc. etc.

The best part is we get to take our tinfoil hats off soon!

Mine is going to the Smithsonian.

 

[rocketskates]

As disappointed that I was that butch was still here this morning I can always rely on you guys to brighten my day. Gruden is happening?????

 

[peerless98]

If Butch is actually let go, it seals the gruden deal for me. There is literally zero reason to let him go now unless Gruden is locked up. South Carolina, Bama, uga?? Why now? And why would CJG come to 2 regular season Vol games...

It's Gruden time!

Unless the Florida move moved our timeline up meaning we are competing for same candidates.

Serious question: Simply out of nerd curiosity- when looking at this situation what do you find is the most difficult variable(s)/confounders to account for assessing the situation?

Human nature. It is always the most variable and most unpredictable.

Also, my favorite part to study and find patterns. People will almost always tell you who they are if only you pay attention.

 

[VolsFanJC]

All of a sudden there will be thousands who knew it all along.

Yep! Like a bunch of band wagon Bama fans, the I knew it all along folks will flood this thread. I hope that we have enough crow for all of these pies we are going to have to prepare...lol

Wow I just seen on the ethernet that Florida done fired Mackleswan.

Not so fast my friend...

 

[Volwark]

I agree. Paying Gruden $10M is not fiscally responsible. What happens if it doesn't work out. We will be handcuffed with a huge buyout for years.

 

[JAEvans24]

could you guys see a scenario playing out where gruden comes for a couple years and bringing a guy like kiffin as OC and coach in waiting?

Kiffin seems weirdly infatuated with being back at UT

What makes you say that?

 

[volfannbama]

He could be talking about Florida. I’d say he’s in play there too

If he is it shows what a poc he is, taking about gis current school like that.

 

[Godfatha]

This news has me like

Lol love the transformers gifs

 

[VFLnSFD]

i got home from church and was about 50 pages behind.

so i started reading every other page. works well because if anything substantial happened on the page i skipped, somebody quotes it. speeds up the process a little.

then, when i got about 10 pages out, i read every page.
didn't think i'd ever get caught back up at that rate.

about 5-6 more made the list, about that time the "HE GONE" news broke, and here I am!

bad news is, when i leave to go to church tonight, i'll be 100 pages behind.

y'all will kindly give me a recap, won't you?

:hi:
:good!:
:dance2:

Of course!

 

[BearCat204]

I think Florida Firing Jim McELwin today Spearheaded Tennessee AD department to do something. Now we need haslam to fire up the jet and go get Gruden .

Or it was always the plan, but people were so impatient for it to happen before the team got back to Knoxville.

If true, we need to hope UF hires Chip Kelly.

 

[midtnvol2]

I live in West Knox...I would love to get a group together and talk all Gruden things.

Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad earlier this year, and been helping my mom thru a lot of transitions since then. Prayers to you and your family.

Were you being an ass earlier?

 

[Sstterry]

This is what I do.

I have extreme logic in even the most harrowing circumstances.

We can tell by the way you cook those wings

 

[Kvol87]

Come home Chucky, come home......

CHILL BUMPS........soon.

Serious question: Simply out of nerd curiosity- when looking at this situation what do you find is the most difficult variable(s)/confounders to account for assessing the situation?

You didn't ask me, but for me there was only one. MIT.
