Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIII

[John Wick]

If all this is true, as impossible as it may be to believe, we have an AD who is worse that Dave Hart and Mike Hamilton...combined.

 

[darkgable]

I've been on this earth 50 years. I was born Orange,i sleep eat and drink Orange. If this hire is made I'm done. Call me names, i don't care. The powers that be have destroyed a once proud program. If Greg Schiano is on that podium my days as a Vol are over. We can do better but we choose not to. It's been a pleasure Vol fans but I'm too tired after ten years to keep doing this. Go Vols.

 

[CoachClick]

Everyone I know has positives and negatives against most all listed on the coaching search except one: Schiano.

NOT ONE POSITIVE statement from anyone about him. ALL negative.

Is this what you are giving Tennessee Currie?

Something no one wants?

I am almost thinking he is purposely trying to end the program.

Well, it looks like I will be making those glass pipes and bongs. Who wants one?

Yes, I'll take one. I'll give you my UPS shipping #. Send one for Behr, too.

To those saying this crap is all a smokescreen.....what is the point of a smokescreen 3 hours before you announce. I just don't see what there is to gain by that. Two weeks before, yes. Hours before, no.

This feels like 2012 all over again. Supposedly we had Gruden until 11:59....then we ended up with Butch Jones.

Three hours before you announce? What are you talking about? Who is announcing? What? When?

 

[midtnvol2]

"Schiano talks broke down" "Currie strikes 11th hour deal" "Jon Gruden 24th HC @UT"

Clean the trolls and unbelivers out. Ill turn the lights off myself.

According to who? Source???

 

[vols72]

Until someone else walks out. It Gruden for me

IF....IF this is true then you have to congratulate JC for not only causing fans to not support a team anymore to actually causing them to root against them. I can give any other coach a chance but I draw the line with someone who covered up for a pedophile. This just cannot be happening. How do you reach a level that Currie has and be this incompetent and stupid?

 

[revjayp]

I refuse to believe it until he’s at the podium. How could Currie go from one bully to another? This just doesn’t pass the smell test. I can’t fathom all the concessions and meetings were to bring in Schiano. Just doesn’t make sense. It’d be the worst hire in TN history.

 

[AMBAVol07]

Grudenites have to keep the faith.

This is Currie’s 15 minutes of fame, legacy hire His career will likely be defined by this. He stated he would hire someone with the highest integrity and character. Schiano does not meet this criteria. I still believe it is Gruden, but if for some reason it isn’t Gruden there is no way he kills his career with a Schiano hire.

Gruden to the Hill!

So Espn shows "USA reported"....kewl but ESPN is not reporting !


they are reporting M***** to FL tho

Actually it says ESPN confirms. First reported by USA. You guys can hide in the sand all you want but this is happening. Real cheap season tix for next year.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Guys, VN has been alternately down and super slow for me, so I will keep this short.

It's Gruden.

Props to you for sticking to it until CGS is announced. Good on you

 

[HUD2000]

Guys, VN has been alternately down and super slow for me, so I will keep this short.

It's Gruden.

I like you. I like the words you say.

 

[andywilson001]

All this Schiano talk is stemming from one original tweet. None of the big networks are reporting it as an independent story. They are just repeating the story from Wolken.

 

[VOLARMY]

SIAP
Testimony: Greg Schiano, Tom Bradley knew of Sandusky abuse at Penn State

 

[knucklehead_vol]

We are not hiring Greg S. No way. No how.

Gruden to the Hill

They won't listen.

 

[Volnbeers]

bring back derek dooley

Surprised your still in here. I respect you for that but why should we still believe.

 

[UTN '74]

From Currie's letter announcing Butch's firing on Nov 12:

"Meanwhile, we now turn our attention to an exhaustive search to identify a coach of the highest integrity and character with the skills and vision to return Tennessee football to championship form. Our commitment to doing what it takes to hire the absolute best coach for the University of Tennessee is resolute."

"As I reminded our student-athletes when I met with them earlier today, unless you hear news directly from me, do not assume it to be accurate."

...

This. I cannot believe so many longtime OGs are moving toward the ledge, and how many negaGrudes have taken over this thread! It is Gruden until Currie announces otherwise. It is GRUDEN!

 

[Specks]

Gruden going to come from left field 💯 %

 

[Volwark]

Why would the front page of ESPN.com be that we're about to hire Schiano if we were going to hire Gruden.

You guys need to join us in reality.

Hmm. Is this the same ESPN thats supposed to announce the Gruden hire? Maybe there is another ESPN that we're not aware of.

EXACTLY...and USA Today already has a BS report that was released about Tennessee coaching talks...be interesting to see if it was the same beat writer. If this is the information source, no worries... GRUDE-ON!
