Official Jon Gruden Thread 50

[arkansasvol3]

Anyone still have the link of the tweet about when Pruitt punched Mark Richt!?

 

[wildorange]

If it's him the staff is vital. We shall see. SOON!

 

[Achilles]

And there it is. Game over! Excited for this hire!

We better have gotten him for like 3.5mil or something so we can invest a crazy amount into his staff!

If we paid a DC 5mil+ to become an HC here, that’s ridiculous!

 

[CopperHead_Vol]

Well this place started rocking again....

I was talking to my guys at work today and told them that I am sure the list of coaches that has been leaked are interviewing for OC and DC positions. There is no way that Tee would risk his reputation and move his wife back here to hitch his wagon to an unproven first time head coach.

It may be that I just can't stand the thought of a BAMMER coach but I think that Gruden is option #1 and coach Miles may still be standing in the shadows as the fall back. They are extending the search to coordinators as they try to work out the details with CJG. The longer this goes the more I believe this may be the case. If they wanted one of the DCs we would have announced by now.

I think the past couple of weeks are finally getting to me. I have finally broken down and started week night drinking. Broke out a couple of quarts of homemade spiced rum.



I am not sure if it is to console myself or celebrate….

Hang in there folks.... GRUDEN TO THE HILL!!

EDIT... Well it looks like consoling myself it is... lol

Guys, I know several of you will be disappointed. Give him a chance. Pruitt is our next HC per several sources now, deal is done. Let’s come together and support our beloved orange!

No thanks.

 

[volnpowell]

Current coaching staff has been ordered to return to Knoxville from recruiting trips...

Link?

 

[TennGirl0723]

After all this time and we get someone from Bama! Well, crap

If it's Pruitt I will be right there with you.

 

[Boomer_Vol]

and this is how it ends....

 

[Zeppelin18241]

See you guys in 3 years?

 

[BIGORANGEINKY]

Yep. Just got my ESPN news alert on my phone. I’ve supported them all because I love my Vols. I’ll support Pruitt too. Just wish it was Gruden. Would have been fun!

 

[davethevol]

All Grude things must come to an end.

 

[volnpowell]

After all this time and we get someone from Bama! Well, crap

After starting out at MTSU, he played for them too!! Anybody that would go there is should not be here!!!

 

[Smokeytom]

Barring some surprise....I'll be really working on my golf game next fall!

Channel 8 in Knoxville is reporting on Pruitt being hired. Time to start resting up, got be ready to crank up the Gruden threads again in 3-5 years.

I knew I should have gone to bed when things were on an up swing.

 

[Vfl83]

Link?

Done...

 

[AmoebaVol]

I’m fine with Pruitt. Way better than Schiano and Doeren. Better than Botch. Hopefully we get a bad-a staff and kill it on the recruiting trail.

Gruden ... don’t want to hear you talking about Rocky Top and how much you love it. Don’t really care if you ever step foot in Neyland again. Stay out of our future coaching searches — just say, “thanks, but no thanks.”

 

[Volstate]

Pruitt....6 year deal...it's over folks...end of the Gruden thread...he'll never coach the Vols

 

[txbo]

Smokescreen......Gruden......Soon!!!!
