Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIII

[straferockefeller]

From John Brice:

Have been told consistently since Friday the Schiano talk is part smokescreen, part controlled leak to gauge reaction on backup to backup plans. Currie’s own words, plus this @washingtonpost story, make Schiano a worst-case-scenario: washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/e…

 

[VOLumeS]

Won’t believe until he’s announced if he’s announced.

[BluetickWhiskey]

I bet these low tier coaches are being mentioned to prepare us for a mid level guy but still better than Shiano. Dang it why do I try to over analyze everything

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

ESPN reporting Campbell is off the table

 

[tastycar]

Sorry if this double posted.

Why would Currie need to gauge reaction to backup to backup plans if he has his hire?

This is the type of stuff that gives me pause.

 

[TNJOKER]

I've been all Gruden all the way. The mighty beaver comes along and tweets nonsense about Schiano and this place goes nuts. Maybe there should be an official beave thread.

Nope. He a been in this thread for awhile now. How about we start an official troll thread?

Guys like you need to go anyway. We don’t need half a$$ fans. I can understand the negativity on Shiano. I get that one. But if Mullen is named coach I will still support our Vols and will give him a chance just like I did botch. You guys have to understand that Currie is obviously trying to make this Gruden thing work. If it doesn’t then it doesn’t. We still need a new coach at the end of the day.

half a$$ fans is what you get when you have an half a$$ adminstration making half a$$ hires. Ut just bent over to vandy last night for the 2nd year in a row. VANDERBILT IS THE EPITOME OF HALF A$$

Currie is impressive.

Schiano is such a good leak because Currie/the AD knows how beligerent the fan base would be at that hire. Both morally and with his record.

Gruden will taste even sweeter to us with it being Gruden vs Schiano instead of Gruden vs Petersen.

Currie becomes an even bigger hero.

No. It’s gross. It doesn’t endear me to Currie even more, it pisses me off to even suggest it.

 

[Moxie]

Good lord, looks like a big orange garbage truck exploded in here. Clean up on aisle 12 please.

Breathe y’all. GRUDEN TO THE HILL.

I believe you're over thinking things. Currie wants to hire the guy that will give us the most wins and prolong his role as UT's AD. That and the financial side, is all he's worried about.

😬

That’d go well with recruiting

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Old enough to have some common sense and not throw a tantrum just because the coach I want doesn’t land here.

So you're lying. We're gonna go with 16.

 

[VolDefense]

And you don’t know that for a fact.

in the court of public opinion, facts do not matter. see Twitter, Facebook, etc. for evidence.

Hi Jiminy!

 

[0nelilreb]

I understand the hate for schiano, but why mullen? That's a very low risk hire imo.

Exactly .. low risk low reward . Don’t we want more than that this time ? The shape our program is in and fan base don’t we need more than a low risk guy ?

 

[EastTNVol6240]

How old are you?

I’m starting to think lots of you guys have desks full of participation trophies. Sure I want Gruden, and I don’t want shiano. I will, however, not throw a tantrum and turn my back on the program just because Gruden chooses to not coach college ball.

 

[SouthpawTN]

I know people say things they don’t mean when they get angry, but if you truly are going to cease being a Vol fan over the hiring of a coach ... then go bandwagon elsewhere. The Big Orange doesn’t need your kind.

I was born in Tennessee, will die in Tennessee, and I proudly have two UT degrees on my wall. They have my support for better or worse.

Not mine. If Tennessee had done what penn state did, I'd be done. If they go hire someone who not only was part of that, but is a proven a$$hole, I'm not going to support the team. Call it bandwagon if you want, to me it's not capitulating and being a homer. Those penn state fans disgust me by attacking victims and wanting statues of jopa put back up. I hope our fan base wouldn't be the same, but I'm sure I'm wrong and people would just blindly support no matter what.

 

[utfan089]

Oh snap Jiminy made an appearance.

 

[wildorange]

Don't know how anyone can read about Peyton's feelings towards Schiano and give any weight at all to him being even considered, much less targeted.

I'm any event, it would be awkward seeing as how Gruden has already signed.

I agree hiring Schiano would be like trying to totally rail against the everything that Tennessee does and should stand for. He did say a man of integrity and while I personally don't know anything about what Schiano knew bringing him out as a man of integrity would be flat our asinine. Anyway back to reality!!!! GRUDEN TO THE HILL!!!!! VERY VERY SOON!!!!!!!

Very well stated.

BS.

 

[NC_Vol64]

Been proven wrong. He travels in an RV.

Like Madden?

 

[reeceb73]

I just do not understand the Mullen love.

You guys want to accept mediocrity? We should have just kept Butch....no thanks

Take away Dak, and what would his record look like?

 

[BubbaWms]

Miss state is not supposed to do well in the SEC west. Please pay attention to college football before u post crap.

Yep, that was proven thur by the high and mighty land sharks of Ole Miss in their own house no less....M is good but not UT of the future good !
