Official Jon Gruden Thread 37

[jakez4ut]

100% you are correct. These media outlets have been known to use “insider” info that isn’t verified before. It could easily be OrangePill’s message being “telephoned” around and then seeming like what he said was a prediction, when really it’s the source of the rumor.

eh, that's kind of dangerous for the legitimate media to do. Hargis even mentioned it as much on his interview with finebaum. the TFP was heistant on whether or not to go public with their story, because of that.

hyams has been steadfast in his sources, as has Ramey/brice and Wallace. to the point, i think we can all safely assume those sources are probably well past the "informed insider".......

 

[VolPenn]

Absolutely

I don't think so. And it's not because of the bad news, he just is up and down alway too often to have a truly reliable source. He hears something on Twitter that may or may not be true and switches on a dime, just to come back around in a couple hours.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Swain knows more the he let's on

I don’t believe you

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

It’s a lady. Probably hot and smart too.

Lol forgot that. Sorry Mrs. or Miss Pill. :hi:

 

[Squints]

Swain is the personification of this board.

 

[TNJOKER]

It's been said on several threads on Twitter. That the announcement could be made after this game? Or the candy game. There might be a thread on Reddit as well.

Ok so I have a question, someone on here mentioned before that the media was a week behind on information, then not to long ago it was mentioned that the first off was a no go but a second was “agreed” to, so the Swain tweets fit the narrative about a lag in information? Gruden to the hill.

 

[MarkVols]

Never been in a forum with so many Venture Capitalists all at once.

 

[Herman Hickman]

Fosho.... I like Swain, especially being from here, but he has swings just like most on this board.

That is what I appreciate the most about him. He's a passionate fan desperate to see the program he played at live up to expecations.

When you have that level of love in your heart, you are going to hit the ups and downs in an obvious fashion. He lives Tennessee and you can hear the pain in his voice over the course of this season.

The work he does is merely a job for some people. It just means a whole helluva lot more to Swain.

 

[barrylee]

If Gruden is named coach do any of u think he wouldn't be involved in bowl prep? Not likely we make a bowl but he would not be sitting idly by..

 

[chetsteadman87]

Humorous...yet accurate.

To be fair, Swain has been FOS long before this coaching search. He can be entertaining on occasion, but there are others I would lean on for real info tbh

 

[TNJOKER]

He’s probably bolted after all the crap people were giving him. This is why we can’t have nice things.

There is always that 1 dumbass kid.

I agree that the media has better connected “insiders” or sources. I’m saying with the way social media is now and how quickly things spread, a good source to the media could be influenced by social media / message boards. Everything is very convoluted.

Either way, I think Currie is running this as tight as possible, and I doubt people with true first hand knowledge of what’s happening are making any leaks. Everyone is clueless until the announcement.

Just my take on everything.

The morning is always the worst time for this thread. Must be when the trolls are hungriest.

Late at night when everyone is asleep is the worst.

Swain knows about as much as we all do..
Media in Knoxville is a complete joke.
They get 75% of their information from this board.
Till you hear it from the AD, or Gruden’s agent...
Don’t belive sh*t

 

[tbones0711]

On an unrelated note, my purple hurricanes were eleminated from the playoffs last night. Sure wish Trevor was going to UT!!

He hasn't signed yet.

Who's trolling who?

 

[coffeevol]

Coach Doug Matthews just said to expect an announcement around the 10th of December

 

[Hawkpilot]

Interesting..he's very careful with what he puts out to protect his sources.....wonder if he's helping with natrative until the announcement.

yeah, i agree. we're on the same page. i've seen and read things this week that have raised any eyebrow, sure.

i'm very wary to believe any of it.

 

[jp1]

You realize Gruden's first gig was GA at UT right?

That's so widely known and talked about that it's where the whole "Coming Home" thing comes from.

My bad I didn't realise that (were you even alive in the 80s when he was here?). Thanks.

What does my statement have to do with that? Because Gruden "coming home" means all assistants will be ex-players/coaches?

 

[TNJOKER]

Swain says it's over

Swain also said Tennessee didn't have a chance

No one will be named coach until after Vandy. Fact.

That's when it's best cause then you get the low down on all the best burger joints to hit up

 

[jdogvol]

Notable concern but honestly his name will do most of the work. I imagine he will only be in on the real big fish and leave the grunt work to his staff. Does not really bother me. I think players will trip over each other for the opportunity to play for someone who knows what it takes to win at the highest level.

Recruiting is why Saban is so successful.

How is Alabama'''s Nick Saban so successful on the recruiting trail? | SI.com

Our next guy needs to be an ace recruiter PLUS a good developer of talent. Hope like hell it's Gruden.
