Official Jon Gruden Thread VII

['Boro-vol]

So, wait, WE put the 10 year option out there? Or LaMonte did?

Don't know for sure. I have heard that Gruden requested a longer term. I find that to be comforting. I've said all along that he wants to be here, and personal reasons play a big part in that.

 

[247VOL365]

Let's say you do get him for 5 million per, what do you guys consider "worth it" after 5 years? What would he have had to have done as your coach to say it was worth all the money you gave him?

Neighborhood of 50 wins, including bowls, and 1 SECC would be worth it.

I think it's a better option.

 

[Jake]

Probably safe to say 70% of the board doesn't know who Junior Samples is. I am starting to feel old.

Please don't age me today. Boro, Gman and Hof already kicked me in the shin

 

[VolGirlinGA]

I would rather have him for 10 years rather than three...and yes, I get the ramifications if we gamble wrong.

Agreed. 100%.

[The Waco Kid]

['Boro-vol]

Go back and check my history. Ive never brought any info before. I do now and am a troll....go with that.

Im not here to convince anyone, I bring what I hear, its for you to judge.

Just happened to be in the right place at the right time on this one...In my line of work, lets just say, my skills are required any time the hiring of new personnel is facilitated, so I hear things...


Is this an accurate synopsis so far?

LOL

When you say it like that.....

 

[Gramps]

I know who he is. I remember going to Hee-Haw tapings as a kid.

Boro, You posted in one of the early threads that Thankgiving was going to be good ( or something to that effect)

Were you speaking of the Dooley leaving announcement on the 26th or something else ?

 

[Jax_Vol]

And our modern day Junior & Lulu....

 

[goooooovols]

I think Ainge just slipped up....."Jon Gruden is not going to be cold calling kids, I mean if he were to coach somewhere..."

 

[utvolpj]

Yeah..........Florida is scared of Tennessee.

scared of UT getting a good coach? Absolutely

as for the dollars being thrown around, you won't be the first gator to not understand how things like that work. Starting to wonder if UF even has a business school

 

[Wilson27]

I would rather have him for 10 years rather than three...and yes, I get the ramifications if we gamble wrong.

I would rather go with a 10 year contract and let the chips fall where they may than keep hiring discount coaches and having to buy them out.

 

[Coastypop]

Don't know for sure. I have heard that Gruden requested a longer term. I find that to be comforting. I've said all along that he wants to be here, and personal reasons play a big part in that.

If I were a coach on the outside....seeing us go through so many coaching changes as we have recently...

Guess I would ask for a longer term as well, I would want some type of guarentee... I believe most coaches we would approach may take the same type contact.. with exception of maybe Cut, Petrino ect.

 

[Jake]

Yeah..........Florida is scared of Tennessee.

Oooooooooooooo.....you just wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. And wait.....

 

[RagingOrange]

And our modern day Junior & Lulu....

Dear lord.

 

[GmanTN]

You don't know my daughter

Wanna see a pic?

NO, Not really and no offence

 

[voldawgforever]

Please don't age me today. Boro, Gman and Hof already kicked me in the shin

Watching you squirm was priceless.

 

['Boro-vol]

what's the monetary guarantee for the school if he bolts?

I have no idea.

 

[VolGirlinGA]

And our modern day Junior & Lulu....

I'd be p*ssed if I got stuck sitting behind that hair.

 

[Jake]

I would rather go with a 10 year contract and let the chips fall where they may than keep hiring discount coaches and having to buy them out.

Precisely...we'll just have an assistant coaches carrousel
