Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIII

[engineerVOL]

How do we not have student sleeper cells at our disposal for reconnoissance??? Plant them everywhere, Freak.

It’s 2017 for gosh sake.

 

[amazingGRACE]

Sooo I'm supposed to believe the AD that is supposedly so secretive & stealthy has Jon Gruden walking around in our football complex?

Dilly dilly!

Agreed.

I volunteer to start recruiting in the sororities. No need to thank me.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Jeez Bass..smh 🤢 I hope you stock up on Dramamine

I’m a fisherman. I don’t get seasick. I’m prepared for this!

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Just caught up. I am hopeful for Gruden, but I will believe it when I see it. As for Patterson, I'm on board, but y'all do realize he is a 4-2-5 guy through and through.

Hard Knocks: Playing Defense With TCU’s Gary Patterson <<

I know some here would hate that.

Pretty much the defense we've been running for awhile now.

 

[Rishvol]

You starting with that one that accepts trans?

 

[AAVFL]

So who are you? (Not being mean just want to know your connection)

He's a troll

 

[Skizer41]

Those who have been here for years know Catbone. I believe him. Gruden is/was on campus today.

I 100% believe Catbone

Exactly what I posted hours ago.

I can believe he was in Knoxville today. Shoot he has a home here but I ain't buying he was in complex

 

[Volwark]

Unlike Currie, I will allow that to be handled by a search committee.

Spoiler

You're on said comittee.

 

[UTJoe]

Doesn't he live in Tampa?

[/sarcasm]


(my bad)

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

-Sitting power 5 HC with a winning record
-SEC and National championships as an OC
-9 years of HC experience in the SEC
-Coached 3 of the 5 SEC QB's to have 30 TD's passing and 30 TD's rushing in the last 20 years
-2 very impressive DC's in his coaching tree
-His program has enjoyed the best 9 years of football since the 1940's

Based purely on resume, this would be a better hire than the latest made by Florida, USC, LSU, and UGA. Nothing meh about it.

Meh..

Sure I'll claim to be trans to get into the sorority. Plenty of sleepovers

 

[Skizer41]

Let's say Gruden is the man and ends up being head coach for 6 or 7 years. How many times do y'all think Tennessee would make the playoff in that time period if at all?

At least 8 or 9 times. Maybe 10!

 

[WarMachine]

If I was lying I'd make up negative news because I'm a negavol lol. I still have no reason to believe we are getting Gruden, but I'm just telling you what I know.

Negative Nancy status confirmed, story passes my BS meter.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

I told you all I have BVS. Saying Gruden is currently at UT out loud just doesn’t sound right.

I’m just venting more than anything, not trying to piss anyone off but at some point and I think I’m there, Gruden isn’t coming IMO

Dennis Dodd, Paul Finebaum, Bruce Feldman, Chris Landry, Ben Albright, Jimmy Hyams and Football Scoop all came out today and said Gruden isn’t interested.

By the way, all of those same people except Hyams have confirmed today that Chip Kelly and UF are very close on a deal.

Again, I’m not trying to be a downer but my common sense tells me it’s not happening.

 

[SergeantVol]

Sarge, find me proof that Gruden was on campus today/tonight and you have my vote for Mod.

I trust Catbone.

Of those, I think only Feldman might have any inkling of what's actually going on.

The rest are having a knee-jerk reaction to the idea of Jon Gruden lowering himself to coach the "toxic" program that is the hapless Tennessee Volunteers.

 

[volsohard99]

I was a believer in 2012.......obviously didn't work out.

Then, just for ****s and giggles, I texted a few of my friends who have connections to Gruden and I won't say exactly what they said, but they definitely didn't make me feel stupid for asking. Apparently, negotiations are ongoing. Which is incredibly surprising to me.

Won't say how I know people who know Gruden but I'm definitely thinking there's a 10% chance he ends up our coach.

 

[SergeantVol]

it needs to be 1st hand too. so sarge, get your ass to Knox and play pretend law and order. go.

Wtf, I’m 8 1/2 hours away from Knoxville. But if you need proof, I had a vision. I’m a gypsy so this stuff really happens to me. If you don’t believe that than you are a bigot and insensitive to my people’s culture.

Checkmate.

 

[theutvolunteers]

I trust Catbone.

Me too.

Until someone else gets up at the press conference there is always a chance.

Ok, then Carbone for Mod!

Dilly dilly

Hey guys, do not go to FF. They really think Jon Gruden is going to be our next... Oh wait!!!
