It's weird to even think about Gruden losing 3 games, lol. Imagine if he slipped up and lost to Stoops or something. The meltdown would be insane. Mystique and shine instantly gone.

Right now he just seems impervious to the mistakes we saw our previous coaches made, but it's a guarantee that he'll have some head scratching moments of his own.

Yeah he would. Saban caught heck for the kick six. If people want to find something to gripe about they'll find it. It's hard for me to see how this team could win more than 9 next year no matter who the coach is.

Yeah, I remember posters coming in there and giving us lectures because people believed Gruden was coming.

For me, it's fun to think there's a chance. It is certainly better than moping around because your coach didn't work out and your team is imploding.

I think it's fun but there is 1 thing I don't like - the non acceptance of any other coach. They all start out saying it's just for fun but by this point, read the responses to any name other than Gruden. Many have already developed a mild hatred for Frost just because he's been the most mentioned alternative.

Fun for stable people, those whipping themselves into the mob mentality, not so much.

Just wait. It will get crazy, like flight watchers and people that seen him here or there, and home getting purchased and he's putting a staff together..... whoops I guess that's happening again as we speak. You have three or four "insiders" that had bonified sources and blah blah blah.

Then BOOM.... he wasn't coming. Same thing this time around, but Swanson touched on it, it's gonna be A LOT worse

Per Hyams, Tennessee offered Gruden a 6 year, 30 million dollar contract with incentives in 2012.

For comparisons sake, Nick Saban signed a deal worth 5.6 million the same year.

We were going to pay a top salary.

I honestly would be excited for Frost, too---Chip Kelly, plus several others. There are good options out there..

Most of us accepted Butch after he was announced. (we had to google and wasn't thrilled that Dooley beat him, but his press conference was good and he wanted to be here)

He better be because we would owe him too much to get rid of him.

Agreed. I would almost pass if it weren't for the recruiting hype he would instantly bring. But then his first sub par season or seasons, fans would want his head, kinda like some Michigan fans are doing now.

Yeah, several like you are able to just enjoy the rumors and have a good time, others have issues. I really like the coaching style of Frost also and would be excited if we landed him or a few others.
Just don't like the hardcore "Grudenites" trying to convince average fans to snub their noses at those hires.

Some will be anti-coach notgruden from day 1. And the same agenda driven, player punching, dui receiving, drivel will start all over.

That is the bad thing, they get everyone believing if it's not gruden it's another Dooley hire and then someone like frost would be already disliked by half the damn fans. I would b happy as hell with Scot frost
