Official Jon Gruden Thread XXV

I’m a lawyer by trade. For there to be a “deal” in the sense that all parties agree he will become the next coach...then all parties would have to be onboard...what you just said indicates they aren’t...ergo said “deal” is not a deal at all. It’s an ongoing negotiation. Hope I didn’t come across as a jerk there...but unless the University also agrees, the alleged deal is nothing.

Edited to say I do hope Gruden is named the coach. I wouldn’t be here following if I didn’t

You want to pick at every single word he says instead of reading his entire posts and understanding what he is saying. He has contended this entire time that the boosters had a deal with gruden, a deal that has to be signed off by the University and that the boosters put in their lap. I know what a deal is, I work in acquisitions and contracts, but he has been saying the whole time that this deal is something the university cant get in the way of.

Please stop. Who said anything about being better than other people? I said the tickets cost a lot, I was going to use them, and I resented certain people telling me I shouldn't, particularly people who have donated nothing to society or the university.

You didn't just say they cost a lot.

You said they cost more than most people posting on this site make in a year.

That's an elitist mentality. You had to let everyone know that you make a lot more money than they do - therefore, your opinion is worth more. You could have just said "I pay a lot of money for my tickets", but no... You wanted to make sure everyone knew how much better you are by comparing your ticket prices to their annual income.

Completely agree with this. What has thrown me for the biggest loop this past week is what some consider 'done'. This morning it was 'done' but it's 'fluid'. Crazy. But it's fun.
 
Theres a deal between boosters and Gruden, then there is the deal with the University. I think beav has been very clear on which part of the deal he has been talking about. I don't know if he is legit or some kid in a basement, but any reasonable person can see what he has posted and understand what he is meaning.

Agreed

He apologized. I accepted it and moved on.
