This would be a great hire too.

He is 57..His Dad passed away from Heart Attack on the Football field coaching a game. He I believe is done. Has a beach place near a friend of mine and its right next to Ol Ball Coach's place too. Believe he is enjoying his days right now. Don't see him coming back

We all had less than 200 posts at one time. Obviously post count has nothing to do with dumbassery.

Don't know who you are, I'm guessing you sell paint? But it seems an increased number of posts has something to do with being rude. In your case, anyway.

What if this is a smoke screen and Stoops is the hire? I know he said he wasn't going to coach but $ talks.

I don't see the need for a lot of smokescreens this time around. I think the cat is out of the bag that Gruden is our top choice. To go along with his parade through Knoxville last weekend. It is what it is. We await his answer.

Whew, just caught up. I'm sure that will not be the case for long though. I've wanted to post but it would have come through at least an hour late so I have not.
Haynesworth has changed his bio. Verbage is differect - for those hung up on that. Couldn't figure out how to post it so someone else will have to.
For the record,
Last night was ridiculous & I hope that does not happen again. Just adds posts I have to read that have no real value.
Coasty, your posts are not offensive.
Preacher, I'm a little jealous of your gif skills and yes, I would love to see Al back here on staff. (I think it was you that mentioned that)
Sara, Faceless, VFL, & other ladies - glad to have other girls in here.
Doyle, I think my refreshing is mostly to see where your Grudeometer is at.
I don't know how ya'll have time to venture out to other threads but after hearing you report back, I'm glad I don't.
BTW, my husband and I have visited other SEC message boards (just out of curiosity) and we have found no others that even come close to the comedic value of VolNation! Ya'll are awesome!

Hey, speaking of OG's .... I don't know anybody. Never claimed to.

That said, back in 2012, Gruden thread 1, I didn't have internet at home, so after work, I'd take my laptop and go sit in the parking lot at the store and surf on the wifi there, and catch up on all the grumors. Then, I'd go into work early the next morning early to use the work computer to catch up at night. Been here ever since.

My question is ... does this make me an OG?

I'll hang up and listen.

Yes IMO

Would it be a better hire? I know..that's blasphemy in this thread.

Probably not. I think the staff Gruden can attract, the immediate impact on recruiting, the constant PR attention his hire would attract, and the unifying effect an Orange tinged hire would bring would be transformational for the program. He's OUR guy in a lot of ways. Maybe Stoops would be better long term, but I doubt it.

Thanks, girl! Glad to be here with other Gruden Girls.

You're right! This board is the best! In particular, this thread. I never leave here.

Vol nugs quoted anonymous that Gruden close to accepting offer contrary to other belief. The money is also Saban-esque also. This is for informational purposes only

Well I'm trying to lay my $500 down on Gruden to put my money where my mouth is but this stupid betonline site keeps rejecting my cards. Frustrating.
