Official Jon Gruden Thread IV

[bcartervol98]

Happy Halloween Grudenites! Pretty scary huh?

 

[swoodard429]

New Rumor? Oh no whats up now?

 

[Lexvol]

If/when this happens it will be monumental, but I continue to believe that the simple recognition that it NEEDS to happen among the "higher ups" is a victory for all Vol fans.

 

[VolMaster14]

I'll be honest. The silence is a good sign IMO. Hart or someone from Gruden's camp would've come out and squashed this rumor by now. They realize that it is out there

100% agree

 

[GmanTN]

Boom! How rock solid is it?

My questions and concerns have been answered, that was good enough for me.

 

[EZE]

Gman be careful. Very connected well known people have already been proven to have flawed info in this ordeal. Hopefully they all have the big picture correct but in the case of my info it all might be a sham.

Care to elaborate?

 

[MiramarVol]

Yes....its either in Jefferson or Sevier County as far as I know. Too far to commute to the office.

Dandridge

I'm not knocking anybody that has put info in this thread. I envy people that are 100% confident with the Gruden situation. I'm cool with any info people want to throw out there. I've been told not to count my chickens....

I do know this is not a sham. Pursuit of Gruden is real.

Everybody should be cautiously optimistic. Anything can happen at anytime.

 

[BruinVol]

Care to elaborate?

A great deal of posters including myself claimed to have bigtime connected people telling them that Monday was a day for huge news. The two sources I had were huge names and would have put this place in a huge buzz but they were wrong as we all know. Were they wrong just about the day or the entire ordeal???? Time will tell

 

[MWR]

Woke up to Gruden on Mike and Mike and my name is Mike, its a sign. Gruden 2012 baby!!!

Hey, the M in MWR stands for Mike. But I doubt if we are related.

My concern is that Gruden is going to string us along until D-Day, and then he is going to leave us at the altar (like Randy Shannon). That could lead to us being stuck with DD and another 0-5 SEC start next season, or a less-than-attractive replacement like Kirby Smart.

Do your people know what happened?

This is exactly why the pursuit of Gruden is a milestone in and of itself. If the boosters are committed to spending the money on the right coach, the situation will improve no matter what. The entire culture and paradigm of hiring coaches at UT has shifted for the better.

 

[GmanTN]

Dandridge is in Jefferson County, the town was named after Martha Dandridge who is better known as Martha Washington, wife of first president George Washington.

It seems like everybody "pursues" Gruden, but nobody lands him.

 

[BruinVol]

I just happened to be in the right place at the right time(or wrong place) to get their info over the weekend. I don't know them well enough to call them up and ask what happened.

 

[Lexvol]

I do think UT has a few natural advantages in the situation. A lot of the doubt is related to the deflated collective psyche of Vol fans.

Got it. Thanks.

Domestic abuse is never the answer, IMO.

[Yay4Bray]

It's been quiet for a reason. They don't want anything else getting out. Trust me when I say Dooley will not be here next season and Gruden will. That's as far into it as I can go.

I know you are right with your first point. I think you are correct with your second.

 

[Cartervol]

I can't wrap my mind around Gruden being here.. Just seems unlikely.. Color me skeptical

 

[Yay4Bray]

Also, the last I saw OCI say about a staff was mostly wrong. I don't think I've seen the likely DC named at all. Recruiting would not be an issue and defense would be 100x better.

Skepticism is good. It will make it sweeter when you see him take the mic with the PowerT behind him.

Racist, IMO.
