Official Jon Gruden Thread XVIII

Frost would be a huge let-down IMO

Another mid major getting promoted to TN! Butch 2.0

Not even remotely accurate.

What's inaccurate about it?

"Huge Let-Down" - That's simply my opinion. It would be a let-down to me personally.

"Mid Major" - UCF is, in fact, a mid major school (AAC).

"Promoted to TN" - It would obviously be a promotion.

"Butch 2.0" - His situation would be very similar to Butch's. Moderately successful at a small program, no HC experience in P5, most people would have to Google him.

Im hearing grudens base contract could be as high as 8 million per year with a 5 million signing bonus and about a million just in bonus incentives

Where is tennessee getting this money remember 14 mil to buy out present coaches

This would make gruden the highest paid football coach in college football i believe

Well that money should be coming from multi billion dollar boosters and the AD itself that brings in over 100 mill a year from the football program.

Boro, you heard stories similar to the fraternity story?

Not Boro, but yes :hi:

 

[Weezer]

Point well taken

Is it your cousin, lol? If not, they'd fit in well on the Isle of Misfits. Made me laugh several times anyway.

 

[peyton4heisman]

Would anybody care to give me a synopsis? After being way too emotionally invested in the official Gruden threads I-XVI, I've opted out this time in an effort to preserve the second-half of my life

It's getting to the point where people already settling for Frost are starting to infuriate me. If you don't think we can get a Gruden or Kelly, then fine. But our "lowered expectations" fanbase drives me up the wall.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

I remember the hue and cry at Gumpaloosa when Saban became the first SEC coach to get a $5 million salary.

Do you think Alabama considers that well-spent today? $5 million is probably 3-games worth of online jersey sales and concessions at Bryant-Denny.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Would anybody care to give me a synopsis?

Here it is:





Soon.

 

[BubbaWms]

Where is ATL Vol...he might have some info now that we're flight tracking.

Do you mean "Atlanta VOL"....his company does have aircraft that he loans to UT when they need them but does he own Smoky Mountain Coal ?

Synopsis = Soon

Boom?

 

[KeyVol14]

There’s been talk of an MOU already out there.

Well that's certainly good news

If it is, he has me fooled .... which is not difficult to do

but could be

[UTVolinExile]

I don't believe a word boxerpups says, but it's at least entertaining lol

It's freaking annoying when people who don't know better engage with him or quote him as if he wasn't a troll.

There's plenty of money is whether they wanna spend it or not. Little do they know they would make a lot more profit if thy were to take the risk to get a big time hire assuming that it pays off

 

[preacherman4vols]

As the days have progressed I am coming to the reality that the pipe dream of Gruden being our next head coach is not a possibility. I just have a feeling Currie is being hand tied because of the buyout and the big boys do not care about winning. We need an A D like Doug Dickey that actually cared about the football program. I’m worried we will wind up with another mid major bust or worse Butch for another year. I was more positive last week. If anyone can shed light on why Butch is still able to lead this program and he wasn’t given ultimatum to fire Larry Scott it would be appreciated

 

[river rat]

i hope they get parvo

Not defending the guy, but have you ever had a pup? Wouldn't wish that on anybody's dog.

 

[blondie]

I will lose my mind when the Grude’s first play call in Neyland is Spider 2 Y Banana.














SOON

 

[ER Vol]

I actually think Oregon State could be a decent place for Butch. Much less pressure. 8 wins is a really good year.

That actually would be a great job for him. And they like coaches from the mid west.

I have definitely :lolabove::lolabove:

 

[Sara Clark]

Folks, calm down enjoy the changing season. These are exciting times to be had in bringing a new staff on board. All will end well...soon.**** Note**** not in a couple of days soon, but soon!

 

[Weezer]

People getting too worked up on who's a troll and who's not a troll. Take it all in stride and laugh.

 

[VFLnSFD]

So I can't help but wonder. No way does Gruden think that a bunch of frat boys aren't going to talk, but it didn't get to us until today after a dinner on Friday. Seems to me that this could be a tool of Gruden's agent to increase pressure on Currie.

 

[Grand Vol]

People getting too worked up on who's a troll and who's not a troll. Take it all in stride and laugh.

And stop quoting the OBVIOUS ones, please.
