Official Jon Gruden Thread XV

[crparker21]

Yeah I'm good, thanks. Had some family legal (not criminal, lol) business we were trying squared away.

Good deal, glad to hear...

Is that this year recruiting or last

I thought I saw a post where he was 3 or 4??? not a challenge but honest question

He's actually 6th this year I believe

 

[G0V0LS33]

When is their game? January 2nd? Is that too late to wait?

IMO that is way too late to wait.

I use to have MrOrange on ignore but when people would post things like Boro's smack him with newspaper comment, it would get quoted, and I would get curious. Therefore I unignored him so I could watch him get smacked around.

He simply does not bring enough intelligence to the game to be a good troll.

 

[Coastypop]

When is their game? January 2nd? Can we wait that long?

Not for Gruden or another top notch name....imho

 

[RagingOrange]

I really hope it is Gruden. He was gushing over RGIII and the Redskins offense last night on MNF. I think he would try to employ a similar offense at UT if hired. It is a simple offense that can be taught quickly. You need a dual threat qb though. He could run a pro style offense with the qb's in the cupboard until he can recruit a dual threat qb.

If it is not Gruden, I would be happy with Strong if he hired a top OC. I also think Gundy could be successful with a stong DC and recruited on the defensive side of the ball. Ellis Johnson is available after being fired at Southern Miss. He would be a solid DC.

He was gushing? Thought it was said he was comatose and barely interested...

He has very limited scholarships for this class and has taken only a few commitments. That's why he is ranked so low this year. He has been tops in his league the other complete classes.

Troll on loser. It's what you're good at.

Everybody here has your number.

['Boro-vol]

You've trolled the entire board about Gruden since Sept. and I am the troll. The logic of the Gruden thread abounds.


Good day sir.

At least you understand your place in the world.

Run along.

What's funny is that all of the folks that have jumped off the Gruden train who are now saying that Strong, Gundy, Fedora, etc would be good hires and could catapult Tennessee back to the upper echelon of the SEC would drop everything for Jon Gruden. And it's not even close!!!

 

[Unknown Muppet]

It wouldn't be the sole reason to do it, more like the icing on the cake in my opinion.

Trust me. I don't hate the idea. Keeping those guys out of Arky and the Barn would be great.

I thought Arky is getting the scientologist anyway though.

 

[Coastypop]

In his own conference??? if so, how does that make him a GREAT recruiter?

 

[VFL23]

The point is that Strong wouldn't get an SEC team to the Superdome. His best chance comes in the Big Least.

That was my point.

 

[crparker21]

Louisville's ceiling as a program is lower than winning BCS bowl games vs the SEC. It's that simple.

I'm not saying 10-2 is bad, but come on its the Big East, conference is so weak.

 

[VolsMan26]

The same could be said about your opinion. He is going to be our guy so we might as well get behind him!

Link??

 

[Unknown Muppet]

IMO that is way too late to wait.

If we can wait til Gruden maybe. Dpeends on how good we think Graham and Hinshaw are at keeping the guys we got.

Still late though.

Why in the hell is that funny?

Ok... I thought you were saying if Hart was offering Strong that he should wait until after the game.

 

[Face]

I don't doubt this post at all but that isn't important here. What is important is does a candidate have a resume that proves he can take a program to its highest ceiling. Strong has done that this year. That's all that matters. Can a candidate take us to our ceiling? His resume suggest he can do that

Being able to win big games and having a quality team may not be in your qualifications, but it is for the rest if the fan base. We don't need a UF reject.

Something tells me there are going to be more twists and turns to this coaching search this week.

There's only 3 coaches imo that can take down the big boys in this conference and none of those are on that list.. If UT lets this thing fall through I don't believe we'll have another shot with Gruden it's now or never.

 

[volmania97]

Joker was just hired by Florida as recievers coach...good hire IMHO.

He has very limited scholarships for this class and has taken only a few commitments. That's why he is ranked so low this year. He has been tops in his league the other complete classes.

Scout lists them as having 22 commits which is equal or more than the 4 above him.
