Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIII

[tastycar]

Friend zoned hard, GV.

I disagree, McDad. She seemed genuinely concerned she thought he was leaving the thread.

I think we may have a real eharmony, match.com type situation in play.

I'm having a hard time believing Currie wouldnt see this reaction coming. If he didn't, and this is all real, UT would be better off with me at AD. And thats like saying we should Rob Ford's corpse president.

 

[roycouchjr]

Soon.........

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

i thought there was a plan

 

[bpvol]

Beaver on Twitter:

Bye Currie. I knew you weren’t the sharpest tool in the shed but I didn’t think you would be malicious to UT’s interest.

This whole thing gets stranger and stranger. Was this the plan all along?

 

[0nelilreb]

Didn't vet, grounds for immediate dismissal.

He gone . He couldn’t pull out a unicorn out of his but and announce JG and PM as life time coach at UT and survive this much bad PR

 

[Los-Osis]

IMO we shouldn’t hire a coach untill we have a new AD.

Fulmer is the person to to pull this crowd together.

 

[Grand Vol]

Question as I've been in and out of the loop today, didn't this all stem from a tweet some reporter made several hours ago saying UT was finalizing a deal with GS? Then everyone rolled with it.....

I think the AD may be getting crucified over something he may not of even "smokescreened"..........

Then the AD had better get off it's collective ass and put out a statement right ****ing now these rumors have no merit.

Currie can kiss his $340 million renovations goodbye if he doesn't get this right. There is no way the boosters as a whole are aligned with this. No way.

 

[Volinmem]

Beav and company turned up the heat just like he said they would. I think we know where this story came from. Well done Beav, you got Currie.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

So if all of this was true then there was never any intention of hiring Gruden. This will set us WAY back on hiring a coach. This program is in big big trouble.

 

[UTVolinExile]

All the Mullenites can finally give it a rest. Mullen to the Swamp.

 

[37L1]

Not to make this political but this from the same admin who won’t denounce the child molesting perv running for Senate in AL. Wow, the hipocracy.

Hi, pot. Meet kettle.

You did make it political.

GTFO.

 

[NorCalVol67]

You know, generally the fan base waits until after a head coach has at least a couple of bad seasons before going all in on his dismissal and eternal anguish.

I think this is the first time we've done it in advance

Good for us. If the fan backlash prevents this hire it reflects well on the fanbase.

 

[VFL1010]

What a day, holy shat

 

[dbr25]

I guess it’s safe to say that Beaver and all the “insiders” were FOS.

Been thinking this for a while

 

[Volnut]

Haslam or Currie who's worse?

Yep, Currie will fall on the sword, but Haslam will continue his power play over UT.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

We need a new hero

 

[volzfanz]

I do not feel he will survive this to make the hire. The entire state legislature is now involved in scorning him.

That’s what is stopping this deal in the first place. It was never a smokescreen or a diversion or any other stupid analogy. It was the only guy he thought he could get. Period. How’s that damn bahama VACATION look now.

 

[vol445]

David Blackburn come on down you’re the next contestant on who wants to be Ut ad

 

[utvolpj]

Beav and company turned up the heat just like he said they would. I think we know where this story came from. Well done Beav, you got Currie.

Please tell me you aren't serious

 

[StoneColdStunner]

Thanks, man, you always come through. Is he mentioning anything about the coaching vacancy or nah?

Nothing. He has no clue what's going on.

 

[TNJOKER]

Lol!

I really wish I could "like" this.

You can. Like.

Not as effective but it works.

[Lovesomebigorange]

Was this Beavers plan all along to plant Gruden as a done deal, get us riled up as a strong voice of opposition to force the admin, including Currie, for change? To expose the Haslams to the public outside of this forum?

 

[alaVOL]

I think we need a new AD and a new target. The Gruden interest was always just one sided or so it seems and is hurting Tennessee instead of helping. Jon or the University should have put a stop to the hope of Gruden when he said no thanks. Jon Gruden should have said I love Tennessee but I'm not coaching college football.

 

[TruVolGritt]

You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Phil Fulmer is the greatest man in Vol history. Anyone that says otherwise, clearly doesn’t know the man. He’s a true Saint!

When he left he left a " bare copboard" I know what I'm talking about talent level at an all time low, no disipline maybe he has his head out of his a$$ now but leading to his firing he was worried about everything but football...read between the lines.
