Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIII

[MaTaLa]

proves hes a nobody by some standards, lurks VN and then posts rebuttles on twitter with a locked acct only a few can read...

That is out-of-the-butt-rhetoric

 

[peerless98]

You are the only poster that has been right about anything in this thread.

100% on everything.

 

[TennGirl0723]

Oh?

Hey lady, we still on for that drink?

I have not put anyone in any zone. Wth....and I'm always happy when someone buys me a drink!

I say we still have a VN party and everyone that wants to go can go. We can wear name tags with our posting name and if we want to give out more personal info at that time, we can.

someone needs to plan this - but where? hmmm

 

[UT PaulVol]

I certainly believe Fulmer is a good guy ... have talked with him several times and always struck me as such.... I wonder what he and PM think of all this

I can’t speak for them but, as everyone is probably aware, they love the students and fan base just as much as they love the University so I’m sure it’s safe to say that their hearts go out to everyone during this time. I don’t think you’ll hear from either of them, until someone in the AD addresses this. They may never comment on this, to be honest. This is a very touchy subject and a PR nightmare. They would be smart to stay as far away as possible

 

[JAEvans24]

Gruden....just accept the offer.

 

[sona]

IMO, Currie is fishing for leakers. No way this hire is even considered.

Gruden. To. The. Hill.

Currie is fishing for a new job. He will not be introducing our next coach. You do not put your program through this kind of ****storm.

 

[Vols_Life]

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.

Ape to the Hill!

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

All the stuff going down and you all are still arguing about this Beaver guy? He said a month ago the deal was done with Gruden after the UGA game. Then he says earlier today that the report about Schiano is not true, even called the guy out who made the initial post; and yet, here we are potentially looking at a disgraceful Schiano hire. Guys, this dude is not an insider. What else needs to happen for you all to get that?

 

[Bainx]

But but but but.....
You guys said Gruden was in fact, going to be our coach.
You said I could take it to the bank
You said I could bet the farm on it
You said I could swear it on my fathers grave

What happened?
What went wrong?

 

[vol81]

The old triple double cross Missouri boat ride is what Mr Currie may have been subject to.
Time will tell.

 

[Remy]

LMAO he is so full of sh*t. I can't believe people are still buying this load.

Now he was just trying "to promote" the idea of Gruden. How ya'll feel knowing you were part of a promotion scheme rather than being sold a bunch of BS???

 

[cbbowlingmd]

Beaver latest

I said 100% chance Schiano would NOT be official - Every level above Currie and most power players would veto the hire. This is a damn fight, Vol Nation has to exert it?s influence (what I have been trying to do this entire time) to get the hire we all want.

My question is, why is there a need to fight for a coach that is a done deal?

Exactly

 

[LAVol1]

I agree. if the deal was done, why do we have to exert any influence...

Maybe the deal was done with Gruden, but Currie wouldn't get on board with it. So, the only way to get it done was to remove the obstacle--Currie. It looks like that is done. And, Davenport should be shown the door as well for hiring him and should have known about Schiano, whether she did or not. She is ultimately responsible. She has to go, too.

 

[realmenwearorange]

It's days like today where I believe in the Rohan Davey voodoo curse.

Unfortunately I was at that game, second half of the 2001 SEC Championship game is when the downward slide started. Its long ride back from Atlanta when nobody is talking.

 

[GhostVol]

Best fans in America.

Seconded, and Thirded! Do NOT **** with Vol fans.

#Fire@John_Currie is next......

 

[Grand Vol]

Might be bigger than that.

Way, way, way beyond that.

Volnation is angered and I'm not talking about this site in particular. I've never heard of such united outrage before.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Is there one person on this thread or anywhere on planet earth that would make an offer to Greg Schiano if you had Jon Gruden already signed on the dotted line. If you would do this then please quote me and let yourself be known.

I am gonna get that moonshine from you. Then I got some crow for ya.

[nagle]

Not much. Been pretty quiet really.

lol

lol:

 

[volzfanz]

I actually fell for the Gruden mess again. This tweet tells me 2 things (a) Gruden has never been a done deal and (b) this isn't some smokescreen to make Currie the hero. I am embarrassed that I fell for it again.

Me too. Nothing anybody said was ever true. And look where we are now. But make no mistake it’s not their fault. It’s ours. For being so damn gullible and loving this university so much we wanted to believe what we knew was impossible. We went all in on the CIA smokescreens and all the other bull$&/+. Shame on us.

 

[G8rh8r]

I believe Currie went rogue.. multiple vfls were told it was gruden..

Currie is an idiot of massive proportions. How did he ever think that would work?!

 

[DougVol]

Funny that when I was questioning Currie possible going rouge everybody called me out as being anti Gruden and for being weak but now even the mighty Beaver admitting it

What? Please explain? I'm ready to debate this.

 

[vol81]

Gruden might not want to work for a jackalope like Currie,
who knows. The reverse troll job might get someone in power that he will work for and with.........

[Vol737]

This crap is what happens when "the smartest guys in the room" have a purely amateur thought process. Mistake number one was NOT hiring Blackburn. Currie and the power brokers of Tennessee football deserve every criticism coming at them over this debacle. This is a new level of stupid.
