Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIII

[SouthpawTN]

I just wish all you so called insiders would STFU. At least for the rest of the day. Haven't y'all done enough damage? Even if it wasn't malicious, it's obvious none of you know a damn thing.

[volundeer]

Currie Fired
Blackburn Hired (interim then goes full-time)
Calls Gruden (buddies)
Gruden Hired
Beav wins...........and I owe him an apology.

That sounds like a nice dream at this point.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Can anyone explain to me how Currie is still employed right now?

 

[93TNVol]

GTFO, fluffy boy. You flip flop like a perch on a hot dry dock

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

All Gruden smoke likely coming from Blackburn. Blackburn is kicking UTAD's (Haslam/Currie) ass.

Not going to work

 

[AvgJoeVolfan]

Anyone who signed off this hire should be fired. Tonight

@john_currie should be fired.

 

[VolsLady-in-FL]

Jon Gruden did not troll Tennessee fans.

It was the fans on this board that acted like teenage girls on Facebook and Twitter, who ran with all of the Lies that the people with "inside sources" posted on this board.

It was pathetic.

Guess you missed the Rocky Top is a great song and never say never comment on radio. That is trolling 100% if you have no interest in coming don't say **** like that.

No secret I wanted David as AD But I wanted to give John the benefit of the doubt. I thought John's personality might be able to effect what we needed. After today he and Davenport must be fired or resign. I am begging you all to turn the passion brought to bare against this hire to removing them. I have been talking for the last few hours to other boosters, former players, and friends in the AD and the outrage is universal. what has transpired today is inexcusable and we can't let up. They are unfit for the jobs they have and unfit for Tennessee. What happened today no matter how bad it looks or hurts it is a win for the good guys. I have never been more proud to be a Volunteer.

What I have been saying today. We have a voice and must use as we did today.

Anyway I am catching some ****. I am sorry this happened to all.

I think that this is an easy story to get ahead of.

Fire Currie. Release a statement that Schiano wasn’t properly vetted before an offer was made. Don’t say anything about the Sandusky deal but just say that UT is looking for a coach with impeccable merits on and off the field. Name someone like Fulmer as interim AD and give him all the money he needs to attract anyone.

Very reasonable approach to damage control. It all hangs on leadership putting the noose to Currie for Fulmer to take over.

If their is a power struggle with boosters, not sure this will happen, but I appreciate your logic

Nope

 

[LAVol1]

Lot of blame going around right now, but I think two people who should be getting more it are:

Haslam (don't even know which one, can't keep them straight)
Jimmy Sexton

Yes, Currie and Davenport, but these two definitely need added to the list. I don't do twitter, don't know if Haslam or Sexton do, but it might be worth letting them know how VolNation feels.

Haslam and Sexton can't be fired. Currie and Davenport can and should be.

 

[NAILS]

Are you kidding right now? I am not even sure Hoke would keep the job at this point.

Fire Currie.
After that I see two options.

1. Fulmer AD
Blackburn asst AD
Cutcliff HC
Chavis DC
Jones, sanders etc
Or, it pains me to even say this

2. Kiffin

 

[Coastypop]

True. I'm just so pissed my teeth hurt

I understand as we all are..... have a good one brother and maybe tomorrow it all looks better

good night my fellow vol fan

 

[volundeer]

Well going to call it an evening.... maybe tomorrow will be a better day

Sounds like a good plan Coasty!

 

[TennGirl0723]

I really don't want pics of half naked men. for real. Ain't nothing I haven't seen before, so no. Bunch of crazies.

 

[IhateGA]

Dude, you don’t even have a clue in hell. Mental midgits such as yourself aren’t even worth it.

I have enough clues to know you, Boro, and MIT are full of crap and that Gruden was never coming here.

 

[crparker21]

So wasn't Manning and Fulmer on the search committee? Sounds like they failed too! I mean if I knew that was direction he was going I would have "leaked" that out asap so did not get this far!

Absolutely no way PM backed this hire.

Currie Fired

Give up on gruden

We just need a decent coach now

Your good knuck. Thanks for sticking around.

Pure genius here!
You need a job? I heard curries chair may be open

 

[Arclight]

Can anyone explain to me how Currie is still employed right now?

He is a state employee. There are rules for firing state employees.

Fulmer (speaking while in Chattanooga of all places) said he was not involved in the process.
