Official Jon Gruden Thread XII

[DocVol]

There is a Doc_Vol on here that posts rumors. Only good thing about him is the chick with the two bananas in his avi!!!!

Yeah, I saw that. Sadly enough.

 

[UTvol1fn]

Bro...you should be a detective because you are damn good at it!!

I heard the same thing....I make a great internet detective too.

 

[ILVFL]

Stay away from the ledge. And sharp objects.

Noted:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Hey after reading through the cliff notes can someone explain to me why Gruden wouldnt want total control over football decisions? So we supposed to leave them up to Hart and Cheek? Dont get it?

 

[CSpindizzy]

I'm really surprised someone hasn't created a "Janet" username by now...

And the rush begins....

 

[Ertel]

That last post in Cliff notes rings somewhat true. Have heard from a couple local police officers that have said they have had meetings about a "high profile" coach coming and procedure planning for the press conference and security for their home, etc...

If that's true give me like an hour and il ask my buddy if his dad has heard anything. His dad is the seargent who is in charge of the motorcycle division of the kpd

 

[BigOrangeD]

security for WHO'S home? Grudens Knoxville home?

If Gruden's home then no need for the Pitch Forks guys.

 

[VOLracerx]

SO, how does hyams piss on our parade today?

 

[esarmstrong]

anyone think that because its a media room that it might always be ready for a presser?

not being a smart a$$ -

:acute:

 

[jbeard82]

Maybe they forgot to tear it down from the Dooley presser! LOL

BTW, hope it's true!

Silly rumor. That room doesn't change much.

 

[tlester3672]

I am worried the security is for Dave Hart. If it's not Gruden, he may be fearing bodily harm!!!

Whatchu got, man?

 

[LazhilUT]

Scary Thought: What if it's not Gruden and it's a coach whose team is playing this weekend...in the ACC Championship...not Jimbo...Paul Johnson???? There goes my lunch...

 

[bam15]

Cool. Will you dictate the entire book for me so I can read it on here? jk

I posted some of the excerpts in another thread from his experience at UT. He drove eight-hours down here from Dayton to Knoxville. Was in awe when he saw Neyland and saw the championship atmosphere right after UT won the Sugar Bowl. He talked a lot about how he was groomed by Walt Harris on the offense and then was hired again by him at Pacific. He would sit in Stokley all day splicing film, doing errands for coaches -- picking up kids, driving to the airport, babysitting. He always referred to the wetball drill that Majors did. He hated recruiting as did Harris. He was little Harris because they both lived in the film room. Jack Sells, another GA was little Zook because of recruiting. It's also comical to revisit it because of the Xerox scandal. He'd sit in the press box writing on sticky notes and giving them to Walt for play call suggestions. A few of them were called. He was extremely grateful for his chance here. Some other tidbits -- he didn't know what veer and loop blocking was, so Fulmer explained it to him;Cindy Gruden dated Johnny Majors son before him.

He didn't really even experience Knoxville or have much of a social life, he was more a film room recluse than anything. I know some people mentioned Notre Dame loyalties before, and he loved the place as a kid, but after Gerry Fouts fired his dad, he rooted for them to lose. Also, he loves Tampa. His dad was a scout for the Bucs and later on he would spend vacations there with his family. (Obviously before he was traded there)

I've also seen Cindy Gruden referencing her desire to leave Knoxville. It was "scary quiet" there.

 

[247VOL365]

Pretty much. And the fact that he had posted the same thing every page for like 3 or 4 pages.

Ok. See, I didn't notice the previous occasions where he posted. I was just like

 

[Dust10]

And the rush begins....

Actually kinda hoping for that. Considered doing it myself, but I'm too lazy. :rock:

 

[Captainzach1]

Is tony basillo in a cabin?

 

[Vol2B]

If Gruden's home then no need for the Pitch Forks guys.

That's the 18 million dollar question, isn't it. Is it security for a big name or riot control for yet another flop in the bucket hire?

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

May be getting ready for a riot with pitch forks when it's not Gruden.

There won't be a mattress left in Knox County

 

[utvolpj]

Hey after reading through the cliff notes can someone explain to me why Gruden wouldnt want total control over football decisions? So we supposed to leave them up to Hart and Cheek? Dont get it?

I would guess that hiring/firing decisions left in the HC's hands could get expensive. Then there's the issue with NCAA compliance and the dreaded "lack of institutional control" (especially while were still on probation). There just has to be some AD oversight to what a college HC does

 

[BeecherVol]

If we hire Golden, aka Dooley 2.0, we might as well.

I totally agree and could add several more that have been rumored as options

I still think its Gruden. Aint popular, but I still think its him.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Yep.

Wes Rucker ‏@wesrucker247

At least one TN fan will post at least once every day about a football coach presser until someone is right. I love my life.

How could he love his life? Fact is he is a nobody and is going nowhere....and he knows it.

 

[Emiddle]

Here's what I've been able to gather today from the couple of people I know. There is still an announce expected tomorrow afternoon/evening. Source close to mega booster still believes it is to announce Gruden tifwiw I'm just passing it along. Personally I've been hearing a lot of contradicting stuff from different people. I fully believe there will be an announcement tomorrow and I expect the Gruden stuff to end tomorrow one way or the other. I think Hart realizes that if it isn't Gruden he needs to make an announcement and let it sink in with the fans for any other hire to have a chance it is accepted. Let us hope the announcement is that we got Gruden!! GBO

 

[Velo Vol]

SO, how does hyams piss on our parade today?

He'll probably start a fresh Tommy Tuberville rumor.
