Official Jon Gruden Thread XV

[16thStreetVol]

My fellow Grudenites:

It has been a pleasure serving in battle with you today. Our football savior will be here soon. Keep the faith. And to all a Grude Night.

Soon.

[VolsSportsFan]

Is there anyone that still actually believes Gruden is coming?

 

[Insunseri]

Well, the night shift thread is even worse. I'm starting to think the Grude ole' days are over.

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

He may just be having some fun and it is not coach related.

Sorry I don't have twitter, what'd he say?

 

[Giveem6]

Is there anyone that still actually believes Gruden is coming?

I do 50/50

 

[Volingatorland]

Is there anyone that still actually believes Gruden is coming?

I'm not sure anyone is 100%, but I think several of us believer there is still a chance. For me, I've gone from 95% to 15%.

 

[ShieldsUp]

The Night Crew seems to have disappeared over the weekend....I dunno if they were ever full Grude but man they gave us some fun stuff to read at night

I know Goat didn't think Gruden was coming. I think some of the others did.

 

[Sheath Huler]

Well, the night shift thread is even worse. I'm starting to think the Grude ole' days are over.

Yup. VN had a great run for about 6 weeks there. Neglected the greatest/worst message board of all time to be here instead.

Now it's pretty much mind-numbingly awful with bursts of tolerable posts

You don't know what ya got till it's gone. In the hey day of the Gruden threads, you could average a 5.3 post-to-F5 ratio. Timez iz changin...I blame dooley, then Strong

Sorry I don't have twitter, what'd he say?

Give me just a minute and I will post it for you...

 

[vol66]

Is there anyone that still actually believes Gruden is coming?

I'm in, have been in, and at this point my stance is why bail? It's never been about the OG's for me, though I appreciate their info and willingness to share. It's a no brainer. Needs to happen. The players deserve it. Heck, the fans deserve it. Common sense tells me it's nothing but a dream, but that's what it's about. Go Big! Go Gruden!

and with that good night believers.

 

[DynaVol]

Is there anyone that still actually believes Gruden is coming?

I've been at 99% since September. I'm either right or wrong, so my inside source Christmas list either gets cookies or cow piles.

 

[volme]

Just hope when this is over we're not sitting here wishing we had gotten Charlie Strong instead of who is eventually hired.

Hope this makes sense...:thumbsup:

This is what I am concerned about. :good!:

If I remember you, you keep your "inside source" pretty secret, right?

 

[Insunseri]

LOL, I haven't even considered that situation. Surely We're not so bad that we can't even settle with Strong

Charlie Strong
Last 3 Years in Big East?
7-6
7-6
10-2

Only one of these coaches has worked out. NO CHARLIE STRONG

Finally, the complete key.

Coach A = Rich Rodriguez (was offered Bama job in year two of Big East before Bama boosters made him withdraw)
Coach B = Tom O'Brien (last few years at BC were in ACC, made lateral move to NC State)
Coach C = Randy Edsall (very much on the hot seat at Maryland)
Coach D = Larry Coker (again kind of cheating, given he never left schools, but Miami lost momentum from Big East to ACC)
Coach E = Brian Kelly (who I can list as an exception because he won at every level, period)

If Strong is hired, I hope that he doesn't become coach F. The other example of jumping from the Big East to the SEC without counting the year at the Falcons is Bobby Petrino.

Last 3 years in Big East
11-1
9-3
12-1

Last 3 years in the SEC before diving off the Harley
8-5
10-3
11-2

Oh noes... Hart is hiring John Smith to do a year tour with the Vols... Oh noes

If something were to go south with Gruden we'll probably end up with Butch Davis.

For the love of God, watch em hire Ed Orgeron

Thanks Pattiy. Not really sure what all that mess is about. Maybe he does know something

Maybe or could be completely unrelated and just having fun with the people asking. Who knows?

 

[thebjd]

If something were to go south with Gruden we'll probably end up with Butch Davis.

Butch Davis is one of our better options if Gruden doesn't happen. The flavor of the month group of Fedora, Strong and Golden have me concerned.
