Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIII

[Volnbeers]

its funny because kirk herbstreit is hiding out in franklin tennessee after getting ran out of ohio by buckeyes fans. maybe he should stop being so controversial?

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Can we hire Gruden to hand Currie his walking papers??????????????

 

[37L1]

This has Jimmy Sexton's greasy fingerprints all over it.

 

[vol81]

Dont give up on Gruden just yet Volfans.
I admit I did not expect to see the misdirection go wacky jacky like it did today with all this Greg S stuff, but in the end, we are still in the market for a coach and while other coaches have taken themselves out of the running or taken other jobs. At least one hasnt.
JG.

If there is any truth to Currie being in Columbus today, it at least explains why this dumpster fire was allowed to burn for so long.

If he put UT through all this just to hire an old buddy...

The truth is that Currie talked big at the PC when he fired Butch. He spoke about money not being an issue and a big hire.

He never shot down the rumors of any coach.

Then, he trots out a sub par coach who was involved in a child rape investigation.

You don't get to Currie's level by being dumb. So I believe he knew what he was doing.

I assume he will be fired or step down sometime early this week. Just my opinion.

 

[VOLARMY]

Dude, that ship sank earlier today with all the Schiano garbage. It's been a free for all since then

You can GTFO as well

 

[knoxville's finest]

Yes. But something has happened and I believe it will be fixed.

What happened? Currie, Haslam, or bad media?

 

[knucklehead_vol]

No may to it. He won't survive this.

I know. You still on?

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

I was all in on Gruden. I had reason to believe it was a done deal.

But now I have to ask what coach (even second rate one) is going to be willing to be viewed as the coach who was viewed lower than Schiano on our list?Much less getting Gruden. That ship has sailed.

Botched in epic proportions. We are literally f'd now.

This. We’re in big trouble after today. No coach will want to come within 100 miles of UT. This is going to end very badly.

 

[Dudleys87]

Knuckle and Exile with the stones.

 

[TJunky]

Why hasn't anyone said or denied anything? Be mad or whatever but there are always ways out. Gruden is still in play.

I F*****g believe you. :rock: What can we do to help the power change? We can F*** some sh*t up.

 

[DougVol]

Don't take this the wrong way. But I know more than you. Just have patience. Currie may be gone.

Sounds good. Say Currie is let go. You do understand the
absolute sh.. show that is to ensue. UT is about to be the biggest circus w only monkeys for viewing. Good lord don't be cool w it.

 

[jmacvols1]

If the Haslams had anything, no matter how big or small, to do with this hiring, they should be banned for life from UT and B. Haslam should resign as Governor. What a nightmare. The Kiffin ordeal does not come anywhere close to this. I do not see anything good coming from this at all.

 

[Arclight]

Someone in the AD has to put out a press release of some sort before then. You think it's bad now? Just wait until tomorrow.

There are no REAL LEADERS in the AD.

 

[Volfan82]

yes. But something has happened and i believe it will be fixed.

👍

 

[FLSTF-VOL]

This is a pro-Gruden thread until Freak says otherwise -
Kindly GTFO

you can kindly kiss my ass. Until Freak bans me I have as much right here as you do. I asked you a legitimate question. Do you still honestly believe that Gruden is coming to Tennessee?

 

[VolNExile]

preface this by saying, for the umpteenth time, i'm still in on gruden. It's not about whether anyone believes me, it's about trusting the what i was told and the person who told me. I absolutely do, and internet admirers and scoffers alike aren't going to change that for me.

Opinion to follow:

this is haslam. Last minute attempt to do exactly what he did in 2012. Back door an unacceptable coach in an attempt at grasping and clawing to remain the controlling force behind ut athletics. i don't say guiding force, because that would imply a direction in mind.

It's about the control, plain and simple. It's gone on too long. It has to stop. If the haslams won't step aside graciously, they need to be forced aside.

I'm still on gruden, and i hope that the people who did the very real work to get him to the hill will send the message home to the haslams for the last time, that their time is done.

One person's opinion, fwiw.

qft

 

[MaTaLa]

Gruden till it ain't...Simple as that, damn the insecure emotions

 

[tbones0711]

Ok guys. we know Gruden or Petersen won't happen....Let's get behind Kiffin now!!

And let his sorry a$$ laugh at us too?

 

[StoVol]

Beav Gets teeth knocked out of his head at Neyland? I can see a pic of a bloody guy holding a glass of Super Expensive scotch and nice Masters jacket

 

[Coastypop]

So Did Currie go rogue? If so, fire him and put Fulmer in as AD.

I believe he did....but would replace him with Blackburn

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

What happened? Currie, Haslam, or bad media?

Cheap a$$ admin. that we've seen for years.

 

[vmivol00]

He did say not to believe anything until he was at the podium. SOON!!!! GET GRUDEN!

I'm thinking he may never make it to the podium again.

 

[rocketskates]

Yes. But something has happened and I believe it will be fixed.

I'm still with you knuck, need some hope to hang on to

Ding ding ding. The new AD needs wiped out. If that means the new Chancellor also so be it. At this point forget about early signing period. Just use the next month to get a new AD in here and let them get us a good coach.
