Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIX

[LakeMaryFLVol]

How is what blackjack said on VQ not even being discussed? JAV said blackjack knows more than he does, and if blackjack says something take it seriously. Blackjack said “I started off at 0% went up to 35%, and after what I’ve been hearing I’m now at 75% that we get Gruden.” Something to that effect, so why is this not being discussed more? JAV vouches for him and says he knows more, so that should mean a lot.

This is a great confirmation.

Tony B is reporting that CBJ is going to Booster saying he will fire all his assistant coaches if they give him another year and don’t fire him. Tony B also reporting that CBJ is telling the players hey are trying to hire Gruden underneath him while he’s still coaching. CBJ is this it true is trying to play his on players against the school, I don’t like this at all I fact it pisses me off. If CBJ is really saying this to the players he is trying to turn players against the school and each other. Again just passing this alone

We already melted down over this yesterday. It was pretty intense

 

[VFLnSFD]

I believe that is the takeaway.

This has been my favorite part of the Gruden speculation. He has relationships at every level of the game and has been evaluating them with a critical eye for years.

Basillio is manufacturing a story where none exists. It's what you have to do when you buy broadcast time on what is effectively public access radio, and work for donations.

If I remember reading correctly, someone said they were making multiple 50 dollar bets (max amt allowed) with a total of $500 - so 10 bets, and the line moved from 1800 to 1200. So imo, it don't take much to move the line because not many people are betting on it in general.

If that's truley the case I wouldn't put any stock in this circumstance at all. I'm used to unlimited amounts or at least much higher amounts.

If I was a player this would excite me.

Should be easy to confirm this with a player

If this was actually true, he'd be gone yesterday, imo.

 

[SHOWOFF]

If you are talking Kiffin, I heard the same

Yes sir. I don't know how that would go over, but I would assume an apology? Lol

 

['Boro-vol]

Exactly....he's not going to be given a chance to cause dissention in the locker room.

It was 5finger - he confirmed it, I just couldn't remember who it was right off.

 

[tvolsfan]

Lol. Gruden alone would be amazing enough. Bringing McDaniels with him as OC is literally unfathomable.

It makes no sense why he would leave for a college job of the same position.

I wonder how the assistants feel if that's true and getting out

 

[amarcus07]

I've not predicted anything other than Butch being gone. I'm going to stick to that.

I've heard good things, but am just along for the ride with you. No predictions from 'Boro this time...learned my lesson.

What about a prediction for my love life?

 

[TenUhSee]

Beaver is a troll. Nothing he has said has come true.

 

['Boro-vol]

What about a prediction for my love life?

It's going to be a "hands-on" situation.

Not sure what that means.

 

[preacherwebb]

I agree.

i read a post the other day that made sense, but i don't remember who it was.

gruden views himself as a rock star, as well he should. that being said, coaches in the nfl are just coaches. the players are the rock stars.

however, in college coaches are royalty, rock stars, the main attraction, which is why gruden fits college this time around.

interesting thought.

 

[VolFan32]

Lulz. “Listen, the AD is trying to hire a very successful, super bowl winning coach underneath my nose. Don’t stand for this guys!

Players to butch: “oh they are? You can gtfo then! Bring on Gruden!”

 

[Vol_TCB]

Can there be any correlation to the locations mentioned by the Beav last night to possible OCs, DCs, positron coaches, etc? That was my thought after reading it last night and then I did some research on a few of the names that have been mentioned. It makes sense with McDaniels(Nantucket/NE), Neuheisel (Aspen/CO), and I can't really pin point the Asheville one. Maybe I'm reaching but maybe it's another riddle.

 

[tbones0711]

Anyone else been keeping an extra pair of underwear handy with them at work in case the Grude is announced?

I'll need a couple of pair if he isn't announced though. SOOOOON!!!

That makes a ton of sense.

 

[JH1981ER]

Let me know who his instrucotr pilot's are at Rucker. You'd be surprised at how small the Blackhawk community is.

Will do. He will be rated for Blackhawk's also..

Yeah not sure even Butch lacks the self-awareness to tell players UT is trying to hire a very prominent coach while he's still there, as if that is a bad thing. The response would likely be, "well, is he coming??"

That's what we've been working on.
