Official Jon Gruden Thread XIII

[Jonboy]

Dave Hart Steps up to the mike:

"At this time I would like to introduce the next head coach of the University of Tennessee that has the most passion boosters, fans, and players. Jon Gruden........."

Gruden
"Hey volnation....It's good to be back home....lets get to work....!!!

Then he throws down the mic like only Gruden can and just walks out. :rock:

 

[FEARinSEC]

I am currently addicted to VN. I cannot go longer than a couple of hours without checking for Gruden updates. I am really, really hopeful; but all the contradictions from sources, the smokescreen talk, and the media disinformation sound too conspiratorial to me.

I wasn't addicted to VN when Randy Shannon, Peyton to Titans, etc went down.

A question for the others who witnessed all of that. Did these past rumors initially play out like we are witnessing with Gruden?

Was there this much corroboration in sources and rumors?

Are the Knox media acting now as they did back then?

Basically, are the current rumors and speculations similar to rumors and speculations from the past?

Thanks for the insight.

Man, you're good! It's more like every 2 seconds with me!

The locker room being set up means an announcement is impending, but sadly doesnt provide a clue as to what the announcement is

:crossfingers: :crossfingers: :crossfingers: :crossfingers:

 

[SHOWOFF]

Or it could be a test run for when a new coach is hired.

And just like that, you make me hit bottom again....

 

[X2row34]

I really have never heard of them doing a presser in the locker room. The media center is 20 yards down the hall.

 

[Elvis68Vol]

I believe the media room is where Kiffin resigned and did not take questions. Just awkwardly left.

Maybe we can loan it out to Kiffin when USC fires him mid-season next year

 

[BigOrangeD]

Thx D!

You bet

 

[bcartervol98]

When the press conference happens, how much notice is given out to the press to assemble?

A couple hours or so usually

 

[CountVolcula]

premature that night, too?

:cray:

Or actually when ... just sooner rather than later.

 

[Dust10]

Carter, think we can get a follow up pic when the room changes further from your buddy? Or he worried about making another appearance?

 

[Virgil Cain]

They have the VN Gruden thread in the picture in the background

[Scotty's Flat Top]

FWIW and feel free to delete, but all it is a damn tripod set up in a dark room. Stop being so crazy people. If that is setting up for a press conference I got some beachfront property in Kansas I'll sell ya. Cheap.

 

[zjcvols]

When the press conference happens, how much notice is given out to the press to assemble?

Hyams/Rucker says they get 2-3 hours notice.

Dooley was announced in locker room, at that same spot, watch his announcement video.

Ever heard of Derek Dooley? He was introduced in the same spot. Maybe they should move it a little, just for luck.

Larger crowd expected?

 

[Elvis68Vol]

Or it could be a test run for when a new coach is hired.

So this is what Dave Hart has been working on since Dooley was fired instead of looking for a coach. Interior decorations?

 

[mrredskin]

Or it could be a test run for when a new coach is hired.

surely we've got enough experience with THAT, by now

 

[Eddie Vol Halen]

I really have never heard of them doing a presser in the locker room. The media center is 20 yards down the hall.

Didn't Hambone introduce Derek and his (falling) Dominoes in the locker room?

 

[Dudleys87]

Ugh, Butch Jones

 

[phowell23]

Hyams/Rucker says they get 2-3 hours notice.

Maybe they'll "forget" to send Hyams notice.

 

[warrior]

Ouch

It was over 500 years ago, no biggie.
