Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIII

[Lovesomebigorange]

Absolutely no way PM backed this hire.

Austin Price said he did.

 

[volinSmyrna]

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

So you know 100% that Gruden was never offered, spoke to coaches, etc etc?

Plus, Boro NEVER said anything about Gruden. All he said was Butch was done....and he is.

 

[A.Vol70]

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.

Don't sweat it. All you did was bring information. Nothing was forced down anyone's throat.

 

[VolNate]

How did urban Meyer and Ohio state fans not already know all this? Granted I didn't know until today but I'm also not an osu fan

Like many of us, my heart belongs to UT but I live near another university. With my daughter as an alum, I tell many that while I bleed orange, my wallet belongs(ed) to OSU. I go to several games a year and up until today, was blissfully unaware that Schiano was caught up in the Sandusky mess. It sickens me and apparently at least some of the student body on campus tonight. Don’t know the details but believe me, there’s a sponsorship on the line and I expect an explanation.

Not your fault man, just bringing info, if I had some I would do the same thing... your cool

 

[Mike4Vols]

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.

I wondered how that was going to end. Kinda figured you might get some naked pictures from these nut jobs. Lol

Knuck, you’re good

Don’t let the goobers get you down

 

[LittleDTO]

DTO, GV, Slice and others have already caved. Knuck and Exile are sticking with their info, and that’s very respectable. Thumbs up.

I’m afraid, however, that it is only a matter of time before they go down with the ship.

Haven’t caved. Just have no clue what happened in the last 48 hours.

Some House of Cards $hit is going on in the AD and it’s going to ruin our program.

If we could hire Kiffin now, I would sleep like a baby

Kiffin is going biblical today on twitter. Image revamp? Also retweeted to bring back Cut with Tee as HC in waiting. Probably just having fun with it.

 

[Orange&White]

Currie likes to be involved with the fanbase and be seen at athletic events, I highly believe those times are over. It is time to get Currie out of Knoxville too.

 

[Los-Osis]

I think I am over this whole deal, I believe Jon Gruden has been playing us the whole time. do not want another troll. Go some where else. JMHO

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

At least we know it's not Gruden for sure now.

99.99 % of us know nothing including whether Gruden is still in play.

 

[Specks]

Sounds like a great discussion for the Les Miles Thread.

Exile you have to consider the facts. You have likely posted more in this thread than anyone about it being done and I for one hope you’re right. My belief in JG is why I’m still in here.

But, you can’t deny what went down today. Me personally, I wouldn’t be so quick to point someone to the Les thread.

At this time you have nothing to back up your claim JG is a done deal. If you are confident in your sources then sit back and wait for it to unfold. The truth will eventually come out.

I’m still in till I see otherwise and am praying you’re right. I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss someone offering an alternative.

Cheers.

Please don't put me in any kind of "insider" status. I have not and likely never will have contacts within the UT AD or booster realm for that sort of thing. Nor have I ever implied I have any kind of information others do not have.

I have relied on things I've picked up here as my information source just like you. I just packaged it up for all to see.

 

[SobeVol]

Sexton isn't Schianos agent

I believe he is.

 

[wtmvol]

Can someone explain to me why the Haslams want us to be terrible? To have "yes men" in the AD rather than "right men for the job"? Serious question, my wife just asked me how it benefits them for them to have control but us be terrible, and I don't have a logical answer. Anyone?

I have the same question. Wouldn’t it be better for them if we weren’t embarrassingly bad?

 

[BearCat204]

D4H Kiss of Death strikes again

 

[crparker21]

Austin Price said he did on "The Nation" tonight

Yeah Austin and PM are best buds, gtfo

 

[patrick]

Currie has to go now. This entire process has been botched. No coach in their right mind would walk into this dumpster fire right now. I mean it was a three alarm blaze but Currie just backed a tanker truck full of kerosene into it.

This will not end well

Currie only did the bidding of the damn Haslam family.

Schiano was Haslam's guy plain and simple - no one else made the decision - this is all Haslam!

This needs to be made clear - the Haslam family has destroyed the football program (and the Brown's are just as bad)!

Going to?

 

[govols10302bb]

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.

Sure Jon was trolling us. Sure Haslam gave him Good deal on lake house as favor. Fxxx Jon as well

It's all about control and power. They want a yes man where they can effectively call the shots.

 

[sona]

I seriously think we are at a Kiffin level hire right now, after we fire John Currie. They have no doubt successfully lowered expectations once again on The Hill. People would take anyone at this point to rid the air of this Schiano stink. Heads must roll at UT.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Currie gone. Boosters ate backing out of the money pledged...


This is a mess and needs to be cleaned up asap.

 

[DownTheField]

Currie likes to be involved with the fanbase and be seen at athletic events, I highly believe those times are over. It is time to get Currie out of Knoxville too.

Currie probably tendered his resignation in the last half hour or so.
