Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIII

[volinSmyrna]

I hope the Associate AD keeps his job! That took some guts.

Twitter says that Condredge was livid. Wonder if he is the “Associate AD” in question. If so, he is untouchable. You think VolTwitter army was live today, just try and touch Condredge and see what happens.

Brohm, Martin, Miles, Sumlin..Kiffin isn't and never will be an option. Give me Miles or Brohm any day over Frost and Norvell. I wouldn't even consider Tee but apparently we have reached out to Brohm and Tee today after the Schiano screw up.

Brohm? Isn't that who Purdue hired after Botch Jones turned them down for the UT job? Wow! Hart was / is / MORON

Appreciate you guys taking my post to heart and dialing back on the personal attacks and name calling. I know everyone is upset, mad, angry, etc., so I appreciate the effort. Thank you. :hi:

Please continue to report posts that are inappropriate. It helps tremendously.

We have just been set back another 10 years. Nobody is going to want to take over this **** show.

Just not true. There are options out there and much better ones than Schiano. One bad AD decision that never resulted in a hire is going to set us back 10 years or any for that matter. I'll reserve the setback thoughts until after we hire a HC.

I was not really proud of this until now. When I was at UT we would get our kegs from the Pilot at the end of the strip. We would pay inside and they would trust us to go into the cooler to get the kegs.

Once inside we would switch the plastic tops that had the name of the beer, so we were paying for Coors but getting better beer. Screw those guys.

maybe this is the haslams way of getting us back for your shananigans

 

[UT PaulVol]

We need to push for Currie to commission a Search Firm ASAP!

 

[SouthpawTN]

And you aren't doing the same thing by telling everyone what to do with the information they are providing? Hello pot...im kettle.

How am I doing the same thing by calling liars out for lying and trying to understand why so many people here just ignore the facts in front of their faces? These people don't know squat. It makes them feel important to pretend they do and have the plebs cheer for them.

Lane Kiffin!

He's either trolling us hard or he's dying to get here.

 

[DenverVol01]

Crazy how we've become the college version of the Cleveland Browns. Have we been leaning that way for years and I just wasn't able to see it? I see it now and it sucks.

 

[knoxvillevolntr]

I was just thinking.... if the Schiano news had broke on any M-F would protests, Twitter fire and all happened as hot as it did today? Not 0nly is Currie inept at search/hiring, he doesn't understand taking advantage of news cycles and timing releases of info. And We the fans pay the price for this idiot. Why???#NoconfidenceinCurrie #FireJohnCurrie

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

From day 1, I’ve been consistent in saying Gruden was coming and that it was a matter of timing. I’m man enough to admit my info was wrong and I cannot make sense of any of this, so I won’t attempt to connect all the dots of the last 24 hours.

I never stated that a contract was signed, and have remained skeptical toward those who claim that happened and gave a date. But I was given (from very trustworthy people) info that gave me extreme confidence this was happening. I’ve stated my connection (married into a prominent UT family you’re all familiar with) and I am just as dumbfounded as many on here. I apologize to those whom I misled. In the future, I will be much more hesitant to post what I hear, but I was simply trying to pass along what I believed to be true information.

I’m concerned for the future of UT Football. I’m not sure how Currie survives this. I’m not sure what coach would want to be a part of this mess. I’m not sure what recruits want to join this.

Lastly, what’s clear is that there are no insiders in this search. It’s been the John Currie Show. Atlanta said he loved option 1, but option 2 was a great option as well. No way he was talking about Schiano. LWS said 60% Petersen. No one knows. Not even Fulmer apparently. Currie has dug his own grave.

Appreciate all you brought! No need for an apology! If anyone on here needs one, they don’t need to be on here reading. Keep posting 92! If you get info you trust, you should pass it on. It’s up to each reader to believe or not. Thanks again!

Almost midnight Eastern time and still 10,000 users online at the moment.

GV, I’ve now seen it posted where Phil and Peyton signed off on this. I just refuse to believe that.

Maybe they were right and Currie acted unilaterally?

It seems MANY boosters were upset with this decision and that it was even considered.

Edit: I've said it time and again, probably not smart to talk down to the masses here. Lots of intelligent people around doing big things. Most of us are intelligent enough to take information at value, digest it, and then come to our own conclusions.

 

[jasonvol18]

Austin Price said he did.

Doubt Peyton backed a guy he cussed out while he was still playing.

What you meant

We need to push Currie firmly ASAP!

Currie doesn't need to do a single thing but pack his belongings. No way he continues this process.

Uh no.....we need to push to get a real AD.

 

[patrick]

Definitely need to boycott Haslam and Pilot.

Screw Haslam and Currie!

Time to clean house!

 

[volkayaker]

Saw this on Trey Wallace twitter feed.

Promote this guy to AD tomorrow! Or at least keep him on as associate AD when Currie and Davenport go.

 

[ugg]

its been fun guys but I think I am going to turn in my VN card, I enjoyed my time here but think I'm going step away. Its bad enough the media is roasting us so bad but were turning on each other and I don't care to stay and watch it and I truly hate everything that's transpired today. I know I didn't bring no info(I didn't have any to bring) I enjoyed the ride anyways ....thanks guys everyone

It has been fun. We need our own thread of grudenites who have been on the ride since 2012. Just to keep in touch. I love Tennessee always will. Went there in 90-91. Got my degree elsewhere. But I feel like we are a fraternity. Lets do it. VFL

Hahaha! LOVE it! Unfortunately, in all reality, I think there's less than a 5% chance he'll be let go.

Nooooooooooo.


Currie must be fired. He has no buisness being part of this coaching hire going forward.



Atlanta Vol or any other boosters. Please push Currie out of the door.
