Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIV

[midtnvol2]

Hope the big boys can do something tomorrow are we are going to end up with Chad Morris for 5 years.

When Currie and company do that, nest season I hope that the only ones in the stands is the band.

 

[revjayp]

It was a Cold War between Boosters and Haslam when I first arrived. The Schiano hire was the first real shot fired that hit both sides hard.

So what now. We need someone to say something. Why is Currie still here? Can you offer some perspective?

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

If Currie is still flying around the country trying to hire people it looks like the good guys have lost.:unsure: The first stipulation in my negotiations would be that he keeps his azz put until we hash this out.

This. No way he leaves that building if he's even remotely up for being fired. Beginning to believe these boosters who wanted his head were also another lie. I just don't see the outrage coming from within when you've got offers being thrown out like this.

After stepping away for a couple hours, it’s nice to not have 5 eleventy pages to come back to.

Til foil hats engaged..

Does anyone remember Beav’s Greek Cassandra tweet? It’s a story of Cassandra who was cursed to speak true prophecies to those who didn’t believe.

He said he couldn’t last 3 months.

What if he’s told us things that were going to happen but are just now beginning to happen? Sounds crazy right? What if Ergan vs Haslam war is happening now? Behind the scenes and in front of our face! What if Greg Schiano hire was Peyton and others getting back at Schiano? They picked Mike Gundy cause they knew he’d say “No”. They’re buying time. What if Currie really will come out and look like a hero? What if he’s betraying Haslam, and he’s pooping his pants right now.


Am I insane?

Well... I mean, 5 eleventy isn't a real number. But I could live with the rest of your post!

 

[Kanga_Vol]

Well, it was definitely an exciting day. It’s unfortunate it didn’t end in our favor. However, much has changed, for the better, I think that’s evivident. The cohesiveness looks to continue. VolNation’s voice is still ringing true! We all need to keep it up tho!

How many plan to be at the b-ball game tomorrow?

Ok long time lurker here. I couldn’t help myself any longer. You’ve been very straight forward on everything and have been spot on as well. Do you have any information on what we can expect?

 

[thistime]

I am afraid this sh#t show that UT has become yet again will never change. All the people that make the calls are not going to give up control it is just not going to happen. The Haslams and their ilk have ruled for so long that many in power will not step up. Bill Haslam looked pissed last night on the news because his FAMILY was being called out for the first time in mass for what they have been so complicit.

Think about it we heard Gruden, Peterson, Patterson, Leach and just pick a name of a winning coach and look who the tried to hire behind the backs of all this newer money and the ones that made that bad call are making the next one.

I have no idea if Peyton or Fulmer signed off on this but it was reported they would have some say so and if that is true they should be ashamed for doing the bidding for the ones that are the problem.

I feel it will take more than emails, text or protest to change things. It will take a total revolt on the part of the fans and that means about half the people that go every Saturday to stay home. Hit them the only place it hurts, in the pocket book.

The problem is that will not happen and things will be the same as soon as they get THEIR next puppet hired. That is just how it works.

Why do you hate the band? They shouldn't have to be there, either.

So assuming you're legit, what's left for us to do? Pray old Jimmy ends up in jail?

 

[tastycar]

Sigh. Sorry. Just how I'm feeling right about now. Siiiggghhhh

Are we going to get stuck with Chad Morris?

 

[andywilson001]

Above is the problem. When you look at the forum threads it's just thread after thread of people naming this sh**ty voach or that one. Or "throw 60M at Petersen he'll come."

These vol fans have to get their heads out of the sand.

$15m and the souls of 100 children would land the Dark Lord Belichick.

 

[LAVol1]

I know everyone tends to hate Rucker, but I've not heard this kind of language from many in the media?

Helps that he is right.
"Don’t get disheartened if you don’t like the #Vols’ upcoming hire. You’ll get another chance in 3-5 years."

"In all seriousness, I think Tennessee really might be flirting with the possibility of losing a lot of fans. #Vols have to do whatever it takes to get this right."

"Just two things are worse than angry fans: apathetic fans and non-existent fans.

How much longer will #Vols fans remain in the angry category? It’s a fair question."

A lot of us will be done with the Vols if they march out Chad Morris as the new coach. That dog won't hunt. If that happens, I'll be posting a video of me burning my Vols stuff. It will be a big fire! I'll sent that video to DiPietro, Davenport, and Currie. Hope a lot of others do the same.

 

[BogeyVol]

The Chad Morris option is very real.

Hell yes it's real! Let that sink in for a minute... SMDH :banghead2:

You know what they say when you assume...

 

[peerless98]

We'll start hearing the name Chad Morris more and more in the next few days IMO.

I guessed right last night at about 7:30. His numbers aren't bad at all, and he was OC at Clemson.

[volinjackson]

I mean do they really think Currie can be effective as an AD? He has been publicly neutered by the fan base. How does he still have a job? What coach would take him serious?

What happened to not missing?

 

[reVOLution33]

It was a Cold War between Boosters and Haslam when I first arrived. The Schiano hire was the first real shot fired that hit both sides hard.

So what is the list looking like now?

This is what happens when you don't set proper expectations with the fan base.

Over/under on the average attendance next season, just based on what has happened since Sunday. Anyone?

I'm guessing overt warfare would damage both parties personal interests. Gruden is the wildcard. He alone can sway Vol Nation into action.

Yes, re-track the steps. Currie is incompetent, we are screwed if we don't hire or at least call Tee right this second.

Are you kidding? 14-22 at smu... You're right. Those aren't bad numbers. Those are downright Dooley numbers

 

[patrick]

These are the badazz grandfathers doing it way, way, way before the high schools kids were even thought of.

The Greatest Generation.

Their incredible history is passing with them.

If any Vol faithful know any WWII vets then I implore you to try to record their memories of their (our) history!

I salute them and honor them.

WE are screwed aren't we? We are going to end up with Chad Morris like we did with Dooley and Butch aren't we?
