Official Jon Gruden Thread 37

[Squints]

Not only are we addicts, but we're inflicted with ADHD...... oh, look, a puppy.

This place is great!

From VQ poster in response to pills post:

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

They’re awful.

Just hold on loosely, buddy...

 

[Dustin4Vols]

We need a coach that not only can identify talent,but Can develope as well. This has been our Achilles heel.

 

[VFLnSFD]

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

Thank you for your concern about my ability to understand legal issues. You would likely be very surprised at how well versed I am on those topics.

 

[Jxn Vol]

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?

Make sure you munch on Wendy’s, and stand by the chain linked fence for crying out loud.

 

[VolInNorthCack]

So are we 'To Grude?' or 'Not To Grude?'

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.

Take a risk versus reward approach to this. What are the risks of a lawyer leaking information? What is there to gain? The risks far outweigh any tangible reward.

 

[TrapVol]

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

And that doesn't even address the possibility that there is a confidentiality agreement where both sides have agreed to keep the negotiations quiet. I cannot see any plausible scenario where this associate can defend themself.

 

[Behr]

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

Haha, how you doing JP?

Finally got around to watching John Wick 2 last night. Wish Jason Statham (sp) was John Wick. Keana sucks.

 

[SmokeyLives]

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!

The attorneys could be a smokescreen, hid under the guise of no provable affiliations with the story/narrative.

Just playing both sides of the ball.....

That's an awful thing to say

 

[FacelessArya]

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

This. I’m not understanding. Are ya’ll saying just cause he confirmed pills post, he could be in trouble even though he really didn’t say anything?

 

[EZE]

I can tell.

 

[revjayp]

I can tell.

I’m not. So help me understand what he said that could get him in trouble. I’m curious.

 

[tim]

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.

Lol. Lawyers and ethics. Mmmmkay

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

Was it some random poster on VQ who brought that info? Or a known repected poster?

 

[VFL-82-JP]

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

What if it's under instruction from the client?

No violation of ethics rules then, right?

Not saying that's what's happening here, not at all, just clarifying.

 

[Behr]

That's an awful thing to say

Stick around.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Lawyers are human

Evidence, or cannot confirm.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

What’s he trying to do? I missed it.

He was just posting the total # of posts from Gruden 2017 threads.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Needs a fat cat and beaver, imo

Don't we all.

 

[buckfama]

Almost all of them are flying blind right now. They have no solid information, and certainly not confirmable information.

So, the legitimate guys report nothing, because there is no flow of information and they have nothing factual to report.

However, the other guys are more than happy to report every rumor they hear. And that is why you get Swain changing every hour. He hears a different rumor, and he puts it out there.

The guys in the first group are real journalists. Those in the second group have a different agenda.

You can get a feel for those real journalist too.

You didn't hear anything from Hargis until recently and then he lowered the boom.

The rest have been spouting opinion and rumor as fact for weeks.
