Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIV

[Devo182]

Brings up a good question of his recruiting in general. Ok st classes usually rank anywhere from mid 20's to 40's. What would he do here - knowing staff isn't known yet...

10-20 but 2019 and beyond recruiting in state improves.

But he is the anti Butch. He can play above talent level.

Would you sir, have gone to the fence?

That was a heck of a day.

Team meeting called at Okie St. at 8:30p central.

If true most likely means he’s coming. Most rejections are simple statements. But who the hell kniws with this crazy ride.

Nice reporting Arya.

Guys I've been 100% on the Gruden train for a long time now. Spent sleepless night in here and checked in every chance at work. But with everything that's happened I've been at the end of my rope. I think I have officially let go of said rope. It has been a fun ride up until Sunday, and I hope I can still come in here and converse with you all. But I am officially at 0% on Gruden. I held on as long as I could but Currie killed it.

I feel your pain and right there with you, I've already decided that when its OFFICIALLY OVER I'm heading to go pick up the new gun I've been looking at to make me feel better........:machgun:

I brought specific info before, and after Currie blew everything up people dragged me for bringing it. Nevermind that the info was and is real. So I discussed this more recent info PRIVATELY with knuck. I did not bring it to the board. And his reaction to it here caused people to give him heat. I did not intend to bring the info here, but I didn't want knuck getting dragged for what he and I discussed. So I asked people to stop dragging knuck. And was immediately dragged, alternately for 1) having info, 2) not telling everybody info, 3) telling some, but not what people wanted to hear.

Make sense?

Edit: in no way am I ragging on knuck. Just to be crystal clear.

You talking about the conversations I was in on? If so I can back it up too.

Long story short people are upset, we are too. The info was correct, just because it didn’t pan out doesn’t mean that it was some grand scheme to lead people down the wrong path, that makes no sense.

Even though we are all beyond angry that doesn’t mean anyone here did anything wrong. If anything the people that came forward with info did it to help clue people in, it was genuinely with the best of intentions.

This whole thing is very complex with a lot of moving parts. It was brilliantly put together and trust me when I say it falling thru doesn’t just hurt the football program, but will hurt the AA side also. This is why even the AA side is upset at this back stab job put into motion in the last second.

Luckily someone in the AD leaked the info because they were pissed as well. Without that we would be stuck with a coach that we deff don’t want or need.

Look, I believed we were going after/getting Gruden just as much as anyone else in this thread. I admit that and own up to it 100%. But given what we've seen and what we know at this time, anyone who thinks that Gruden has more than a .00000001% chance to be the next coach at the University of Tennessee is just beyond hopeless.

Feel free to take your ridicule somewhere else.

 

[midtnvol2]

Good to hear.

According to my son, they will be going after J J and seeing if they can get him back to the Boro.

 

[Boomer_Vol]

FYI - an AD at a Power 5 conference does not pick the freaking football coach - the boosters do.

Right, because it's the boosters that get fired when coaching performances go way wrong and teams are terrible.

Rucker saying T Boone will not battle for another raise for Gundy.

Also, N111UT plane took off an hour ago!

Some good news.

There is a Mike gundy thread..try it

 

[Vols_Life]

Not sure about Lawrence, but that Spencer Sanders kid that's committed to OKST looks pretty good.

I will have to look him up...he from Oklahoma?

 

[BornAndRaisedVOL!]

I miss it being in Murfreesboro, that would have been a shorter trip.

Totally random off topic subject....but I miss the smoked wings at the Slick Pig in Murfreesboro! They are soooooo good.

Popping off a few rounds always makes you feel better.

Need him at UT.

Sorry this is all I know on VN and Grude turned down our offer this past weekend, making that 2 or 3 NOs according to jav. I think Gundy is the best thinf we have going now. And I dislike the rest of vn.

Don't tell me you've never seen Band of Brothers.

Never have. Don't let that drive a wedge into the bond we've developed in the Gruden thread. Save it for when we meet back up in the PF....if I ever return.

Her "reporting" comes from a fake Oklahoma news station twitter, whose tag just happens to be "UnoHornVol"

If your source is the thread on this forum, I'm afraid that is fake news

But please tell me if you have a source!

Dude there have been a million non-Gruden comments made since these threads began weeks ago...thousands don’t even involve UT.
