Official Jon Gruden Thread 37

I went shooting today with my family member who has the connection to the BOT member John Foy. I showed him what OrangePill posted and he said if that is true then he must have the highest of high connections. He said Foy told him that the board supported the hiring of Gruden which included allocating a massive amount of money for he and has his staff. Outside of that he said Foy didn’t have near that info or he was holding out but he doubted it. His assumption was Pill was either close to Haslam or one of Haslams right hand men.

After sharing this info with others who have given me second and third hand info they couldn’t say pill was wrong or trolling. I believe Pill is connected.

If you read the statement carefully, he at no time claims that his firm is involved in THOSE negotiations.

Devil's in the details.

He also said his day ended around 2:00 , what if he is an associate to a partner as in ....
I clean his office when he goes home ?

Jk .. I’m reaching way out there
 
From Swain....


Sigh... get it together.

GRUDEN HAS TOLD PPL HES NOT COMING AND SAID NO.

TENNESSEE SHOUKD KEEP TRYING. SABAN SAID NO TOO.

AGAIN, IM MOVING ON. If i get new info I’ll share. This not hard to understand

Swain just reads the message boards. He read what Jav said and used that has his "source" imo.

Use logic people, if Gruden was coming, would they tell Jav, Hyams, or anyone else?

Let's just wait and see what happens.

I am just going based off No search firm and decision to speed up renovation to Neyland rather than "sources".

I take info from them with grain of salt.

But has he? I mean, since 2013. I haven't seen that.
 
Now that most people seem to have cooled off, I feel like this is a post I have to make.

A lot of people here think I'm a troll, and honestly I understand. I've posted a lot of information this week and we've been burned here far too many times to count. When I made my initial post about the Tampa meeting I was scared. I was told information by a business associate who happened to be on the BOT, and wanted to share it. I was afraid it could be traced back to that person, or possibly ruin business relations with the company I work for. I eventually decided to go ahead and post the info, and thankfully all seemed to go well. Not only was it well received, but parts of it were corroborated by national media that day.

Following that post I heard absolutely nothing for 2 days. No new info came my way except for a text comfirming the deal was done. Fast forward to last night when I was suddenly being given info from multiple directions. Two people who I do not work particularly close with but trust gave me the majority of the info I posted today.

Honestly, I believe that everything I posted Tuesday and Wednesday was factual, and I'm mostly sure that what I posted today was as well. After seeing some of the reaction and thinking back on the conversations I had last night, I at least think there's a possibility I'm now being used. If my BOT contact or the AD realized that I leaked the information they gave me and that it received a lot of traction both here and elsewhere, It may have been decided to use me as a pawn. It's possible that I was purposely fed information last night. For what purpose I am not sure.

If this is the case then I am truly sorry. I genuinely hope that this is not what has happened, but if it is then I would never forgive myself for falling for that. I know that I would be crucified here, but just know that I would be twice as hard on myself. In light of that possibility you will not be receiving any more info from me and I won't post beyond today. There's no way I could trust anything I'm told at this point. It may be paranoia, but it's how I feel. If I've been found out then I also feel lile it would be best if I stop posting for personal and business interests.

If Gruden does end up being announced then I'll gladly come back and celebrate with you all. My hope is that everything I've been told is on the up and up.


Why would the AD use you to release the details of the deal that are pro Gruden? How would anyone receive that as bad?

If Tuesday backs your intial information as fact..
I thinks it’s done..
Haven’t seen him on here since yesterday afternoon.
Unless Atlanta comes on here and says something completely different.

It has been. I wouldn't be AT ALL surprised to learn that an associate at a law firm where a significant partner is a TN grad has been asked to post such a thing.

I'm with EZE on this though. I highly doubt the senior partner would, no matter how huge a fan, ever tell an associate to leak it. Keeping sensitive client matters safe and secure is one of the most important things you have to do. You break that trust, no new clients are going to trust you to keep their secrets and sensitive information.

If that poster is telling truth, he's going rogue. And the client, if they ever caught wind of what he posted would have legal remedies against the firm. The firm would never risk their reputation of being able to be secure with client info if they wanted to stay in business.

Would you ever use an attorney again if he told details of your estate, or divorce, or lawsuit that you wanted to remain quiet?
 
My Latest Daily Diet consists of:

1 Bowl of Grumers
2 Silly Reports from TYS
3 New Worthless VN Threads on CJG
4 Pills for my Ulcer
5 Possible Gruden Sightings at Dollar General in Farragut
6 Aspirin due to lack of speed reading skills on Official Gruden Thread #4,328,390

What I'd give for ANY real news that is confirmed and positive about our next Coach, Jon Gruden

Again, when you read it carefully the poster doesn't connect his firm to the negotiations. This would be leaking something that isn't your's.
 
Swain just reads the message boards. He read what Jav said and used that has his "source" imo.

Use logic people, if Gruden was coming, would they tell Jav, Hyams, or anyone else?

WHAt did JAV say?

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?

Florida Rule of Professional Conduct 4-1.6(a) Consent Required to Reveal Information. A lawyer must not reveal information relating to representation of a client except as stated in subdivisions (b), (c), and (d), unless the client gives informed consent.

So yes, the client CAN authorize release of information. But in this case, if that's what happened, the lawyer has done it in such a way as to make his firm look like it breached confidentiality.

And yes, this rule is very broad. "Information relating to representation of a client" could definitely encompass what this guy posted.

Please explain how Pills info is bad for pro Gruden. Many of us have a public school education. Lol

I think he's trying to say that the info he posted today--not the previous stuff--was possibly misinformation given to him putatively b/c he leaked the good info and now he's being fed bad stuff so as to discredit him. Some will see this as backpedal #3.

I've tried to keep an open mind with the info you've been posting (even if some of it seems highly unlikely), but it just seems like you're trying to give yourself a way out now.
