Official Jon Gruden Thread 37

Unless, of course, he or she was instructed to do so.

I sincerely doubt that.

I sincerely doubt that.

Okay. Well, if you doubt it there is no way it could be true.

From VQ poster in response to pills post:

I responded to this on RF.

If that guy IS a Florida lawyer he's really really REALLY close to getting in trouble with the Florida Bar. I say this as a member of said Bar. His supervising partners as well.

I don't see a lawyer posting company business on a chat forum, even if being ambiguous.

Man, I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Then I remembered that story that broke yesterday or the day before about some assistant district attorney who went bonkers on her Uber driver and got fired as a result.

Lawyers are human too, and like to be respected. I could see a young(ish) associate who is working his butt off wanting some popular recognition for the high-profile but close-hold work he's doing.

So I changed my mind; I could see that being a legit post. Far from confident it is, but I think it could be.

Unless, of course, he or she was instructed to do so.

I don't see an Attorney instructing another Attorney to break their oath and break the client privilege.

Needs a fat cat and beaver, imo

Okay. Well, if you doubt it there is no way it could be true.

SFD, it is true that the client could authorize what this guy said. However, he could still easily be reported to the bar, and the firm would have to raise that defense after an inquiry from the bar.

It's too complicated and potentially hazardous to leak info this way, IMO. If I was the supervising partner, I would beg my client to let me leak info in some way that doesn't call my firm's credibility into question.

Don't forget to feed and water him.

I'm water boarding them both until an agreement is signed.

Tl:dr

But I try so hard to please you, Behr. *sigh*

What did he divulge that could get him in trouble? Serious question.

Maybe it’s to the point where it’s going to be announced soon so no worries for them?

The attorney has serious ethical obligations. In fact, if married, he or she cannot even discuss confidential client information with their spouse.

This is Ethics 101.

Yah, but even Wallace got played the last couple of days. Or intentionally joined the smokescreen, which for a journalist is just as damning.

Either he isn't very good at it, or he's intentionally misleading his audience. So, yeah, I've fallen off the Trey Wallace fan club bandwagon these past 48 hours.

I haven't been able to keep up the last couple of days so I hadn't seen anything on wallace.

The thing about journalist is they are all susceptible to being manipulated.

Hate to hear that. I thought be was doing a good job.

Was it said that Gruden is flying into Seattle today? As such, considering I am stationed right outside Seattle with the navy, is it my VFL duty to go wait at the Seattle Airport and get eyes on him?

Good work. That's a lot of posts

Fellow Gruden Believers:

I have an extra ticket for today's game. Anybody looking for 1?

 

[Boca Vol]

As great as Auburn's field looked last week it's pretty safe to say their grounds-crew spent all week on the Gruden forums!

Yes, yes it is

That's the way most if us are.

I think Currie is smart enough to realise that a good portion of this fan base is on the ledge and ready to jump off if he doesn't get a great hire.

He was here for the Fulmer years so he knows what we are historically as program.

I think that's a plus for us.

I had my doubts about Currie in the beginning. But from the way he has controlled info coming out, that shows me he is competant in managing his people.

He has also been able to secure $340 in donations for stadium renovations during one of the worst periods in Tennessee football history. Do you honestly think there weren't promises made about a change in coaches and the culture of the program to secure that?

To me, this hire is bigger for Currie than just hiring a coach. His ass is on the line. This will define him as an AD. With this hire his legacy can be he was the savior of Tennessee football or another failure and the fanbase slipping farther and farther away.

Currie was at UT in its most recent football hey day so, like you, I feel that he knows this hire is important. UT needs a guy who has proven to be able to develop talent.

I am very skeptical. Having been an associate at a large law firm in the South early in my career, I can tell you that if this is true, this associate is using extremely poor judgment. And they would be fired if this got back to the partnership (which wouldn't be that hard for somebody to figure out if they saw that post).

It's hilarious how this thread has morphed during this coaching search as if it were written by Tom Clancy then Ian Fleming and now John Grisham. It's what makes it great and keeps me coming back!

Okay. Well, if you doubt it there is no way it could be true.

I know you are a smart person because you have an engineering degree. But you are very naïve when it comes to legal issues.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

He may very well be trolling, but to have so many details, and to have them structured the way he did, I believe pills. Just hope I don’t get burnt.

 

[revjayp]

Good work. That's a lost of posts

What’s he trying to do? I missed it.

 

[bigduke6]

I'm a law student who has taken ethics. If that poster on VQ is a lawyer, then he is guilty of a very serious violation of the TN ethics rules. I highly doubt any attorney would jeopardize their career to post on a college football message board.

Clearly.
