Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIV

[VFL2098]

Come on, this is ridiculous. He hasn't done anything wrong to you or UT, why would you drag him through this? Direct your anger at the real problem- Currie, haslam, Davenport, etc., but not Morris. Not right.

I agree and I am doing that as well. But hey better safe than sorry

Military folks..conduct BDA and Counterattack
Battle damage assessment:


We're in a much better better spot that noon Sunday. Haslam has exposed himself and Currie and weakened their position. We have been placed on the defense but sustained a direct attack (Gundy) and survived relatively unscathed.

Their failure to break through the line has further weakened their forces and exposed their weaknesses. Their inability to close this out has left us a precious asset...time.

Counter Attack:

Phase 1: Gruden mentions UT in an interview tomorrow along with leaked media (Hargis).

Phase 2: Full assault to remove Currie in the next 12-18hrs

Phase 3: Insert CPF with an advisor (Blackburn) within 18-24hrs to conduct a HC search.

Phase 4: Within 24-48hrs announce a new HC.

Phase 5: Invite Hawkpilot and VN to celebrate

love your battle-like analogies.......

I love that... Schiano'd

Heard someone on the radio today say 'remember the schianamo'

Cringed a little after I re-read bc I'm sure Chad Morris is a lovely man. He just doesn't need to be our man. Our AD should know this.

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?

Well I was at Vandy game and there was around 55k. Been going to games for a very, very long time thru good and bad. This was the worst.

I would guess the crowd size next year will depend on coach and how many tix the visiting team buys.

I'd say given the toxic environment and crappy football with a Google-my-name coach, the boys on the hill will need a lot of Haslam money to make up for the loss in revenue.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

Someone on here today said something about being friends with Chad Morris in some fashion. If you see this, you probably truly need to warn him of the situation in our AD. It’s truly a dumpster fire, I’d have to to tell them it’s ok, I’d prefer not to work for back stabbing liars.

With all do respect!

 

[Achilles]

It's been a long day. Gotta regroup. The change is still in effect and, as I said last night, more people will be involved moving forward. Sure, there are still hurdles to overcome, but its much better. Expect everything to continue to be more publicized.

You guys asked me who PV was earlier...

 

[theroyz71]

Just to make sure everyone tweet @coachchadmorris and let him know VN doesn’t want him

Please don't do that. It makes our fanbase look stupid. You are better off email Currie and letting him know instead.

 

[MIT_Beaver]

What do you mean a Public signal from Big coach tomorrow? Can you please share more. This cloak and dagger stuff is what is making fans more angry

You won’t get anymore cloak and dagger stuff from me. Yes I mean Gruden. The Schiano hire greatly damaged our University and we are working the back channels to see if there is any chance with Gruden still if we can remove Haslam, Currie, and meet every single demand.

If Gruden gives a positive signal publically then President Joe will have no choice but to pursue because of the pressure from fans, local businesses, TN politicians, and Boosters.

 

[MadisonvilleVol]

Currie is still here because of President Joe/Chancellor Davenport, Haslams influence, and potential legal problems with Schiano MOU. We are working on getting a public signal from a BIG coach tomorrow to create enough pressure to oust Haslam and Currie. We don’t know if it will work yet but it is all hands on deck.

Andy Reid going to fart "Rocky Top" on Sportscenter or what??

 

[preacherman4vols]

Gruden will be ok with Golic in the am. I’m guessing they’re attempting to get him to say something about being interested in coaching TN. All of a sudden ESPN, Fox, CBS is running with it, and Currie looks like a big idiot trying to hire Chad Morris or Dave Doeren when Jon Gruden just said he’d listen. Or whatever they get him to say...

I get that. But I imagine that’s a pipe dream. And we will hear tomorrow afternoon that frigging Chad Morris is our 24th football coach without a peep from Gruden

Phase 6: Hawkpilot flies to Hud’s House (via Little Rock AFB for refuel) and picks me up for the party.

I'm sure he's a fine person but I would love for him to stay at SMU.

 

[MaTaLa]

Didn't think I could feel more dejected than I was about Butch ruining our season...I was wrong.

Not much of a social media guy but been using twitter for first time and been trying to expose Haslam's evil ish on facebook.

Gruden till it isn't. G'night y'all.

I was just posting something similiar 🍊🏆

 

[UTVolinExile]

Could've interviewed him today - Currie & Gundy were in Dallas... I feel another sneak hire coming on

IIRC, someone posted today that Chad Morris was engaged in a phone interview with UT as he was posting. Don't recall who.

That was me. I’ve already messsged him. He’s a really great guy and coach. I don’t want him walking in to this mess. Not fans, “leadership”.

 

[JT3]

The big question is are Gruden and Paterson still on the table ???? We need somebody with a BIG name to stop all this.

Patterson just signed an extension a couple of days ago.

 

[Vol_atile]

Unless they hire Tee Martin who will unite the fanbase the next coach does not have a prayer in surviving season 1

He wouldn't do it either.

Lol, I got in a split second before you, rev.

 

[FacelessArya]

Arya, I hate conspiracy theories but I’ve actually thought about this. It’s so risky and can’t believe I’m admitting to it. But Gruden May he in play more than ever. Also gives a good reason for throwing $10 million at him

Thank you for confirming there’s another crazy person out there too. 😊 I told my husband my theory first to test it on him and you should have seen his faces. He felt sorry for me. He thinks I’m crazy.

Now I’m thinking I’m maybe sorry for the things I said and thought about some on here, maybe Peyton possibly Currie.

What if it’s right and Beaver gets mad at me for doubting and I don’t get to come to the party, especially when I said I was keeping a list of Beaver doubters?! It would serve me right.

I appreciate your honesty. So in your opinion or have you heard will Gruden make this signal?

Twitter

Hyams reporting Morris may have been interviewed in Dallas today a long with Gundy. It is Hyams so tifwiw.
