😍

You’re evil. That makes my Cheerios look like, well, not that!

All would be forgiven.

Winning Heals All Wounds

There will be 100 thousand fans at the orange and white game to see Gruden's Vols. Next year.

If Gruden is indeed our man next year, I will flying to Knoxville for the Orange and White game for sure.

All would be forgiven.

You gotta believe Kiffin would love nothing more than to have a shot at Saban. I don’t believe for second that relationship was as rainbowy as lead to believe.

 

[SmokinBob]

Sounds good. I left uniform a while ago. I Just blend in now haha.

Thank you and Grand Vol

 

[DougVol]

Zook is actually more likely than most of the other names being thrown around IMO.

Wha? As Head coach?

 

[BearCat204]

Both Zook and Kiffin can recruit that is for sure.... Time DOES change people if the learn from their mistakes.... If Gruden does bring them (and I still have my doubts) I am ok as long as Gruden is in charge

I hope it happens.... If nothing else, to see those toothless hillbillies who haven't let the Kiffin thing go years later kiss his ass after he helps us start winning again.

My family used to have a place at Birdsong. Just to get away from the city and do some fishing

No way? I grew up at Birdsong and cut my teeth hunting and fishing there.

 

[BearCat204]

Wha? As Head coach?

Coordinator

 

[Coastypop]

Zook=DC
Kiffin=OC

That was exactly what I was told..... did you hear that as well?

 

[beachmaster]

Was posting this in response to a question that asked about who might he bring :ermm:

Gruden would have to smooth over some feathers on the Hill. The 'old guard' didn't cotton to highly to Kiffin.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Analyzing Boro's post...

He thinks today will be the day and is getting a massive party ready in preparation of same. Will watch his son play ball and then come home to a double party in honor of Gruden and his son winning,

He wants us to tip our wait staff in order for them to be able to save enough to go to a game next year supporting the Vols and our new coach, Jon Gruden.

Returning our seatbacks to upright position means the figurative plane is about to land and we should be ready to go.

Soon.

Why did you have to do that?
You and I both know by 4pm there will be folks swearing by this and quoting your post as proof.

 

[knoxswim890]

I find both of the names difficult to swallow ... neither seems to be true.... but the information came to me straight up without me even asking....

I don't see how Kiffin would be welcomed either

I'm on the fence w Kiffin. I would definitely be skeptical but would reserve judgment until seeing the product on the field. If there's anyone who could whip him into shape and ensure he respects Tennessee tradition, however, I think it would be Gruden. I think Kiffin has 1) learned a lot 2) is a fantastic coach, and 3) wants to prove he can beat Saban.

I will say it appears Kiffin appears to have been trying to mend Tennessee fences, so it's not altogether implausible to think he's in play.

At the end of the day, if Gruden thinks a Kiffen OC and a Zook DC gives UT the best chance to be successful and the coaches can work together as a team, I'm all for it. I understand the hesitation, though.

100,000+

I would be one of them. I even would not mind paying for it if Tennessee wanted to charge but know that they don’t really need it since they are loaded.

 

[rocytop2624]

You tell the College football world or more importantly you tell the SEC that Gruden is coming and he is bringing the Vols you hear you tell them and tell them Hell is coming with them.

 

[Godfatha]

I'd take Kiffin as OC in a heartbeat. He's one of the best in the business and can recruit. Would I want him as head coach? Not at this time. But after five years of keeping his nose clean maybe.

The Grudenites from this thread need to plan a big tailgate

 

[crparker21]

Zook=DC
Kiffin=OC

Kiffin will get a HC job somewhere.

 

[revjayp]

If Gruden is indeed our man next year, I will flying to Knoxville for the Orange and White game for sure.

If Gruden is our man, I will buy 4 season tickets, parking passes and attend many away games. I’m pretty sure thousands of fans feel the same way.

He can do this at UF.

This!

 

[VOLED]

That’s rich, really good story. Vague, easy to dodge and change as this plays out but rich. A for effort .. trust the troll process guys

BabyVol does know his stuff. I was wondering where Baby was. Now I believe we are getting close.

 

[SmokinBob]

I have an unlabeled small case of wine here from the vineyard. If we land our big fish, I will label it Grumors Vintage 2017. Will have about 20 or so bottles for anyone that’s interested. Medium bodied red wine.

Write my name down!

Yes sir. I missed out on doing that in the 90s because I was a 20 something making jack. But now that I can afford it, yes
