Official Jon Gruden Thread 30

[midtnvol2]

Ok, maybe I'm alone on this, but does Tee as OC for Gruden strike anyone else as underwhelming? I think he has benefited from excellent USC recruits, but his playcalling has been really disappointing to me.

I agree, along with bringing in the Chief.

 

[Dudleys87]

my only question that doesn't make sense about this info - if gruden has access to haslams plane since the Georgia game, why is he thinking a 60% chance we land him - only because it's not official yet maybe?

Because as someone else said the other 40 goes to the browns...

Mullen is like 10-15 wins away from being the winningest coach in school history. And I believe that number is 78 or something?? Really? That’s the majority of the fan base right now. You’re dating a girl whos let herself go and doesn’t care about hygiene or reading good or taking care of herself in any fashion. But over there, is a girl who chews gum and can whittle. Upgrade.
If your measuring stick is Butch, then you don’t have very high standards.

for anyone that really knows football, the Mullen dog
don't hunt.

A lot of people read this site at work, so I assume it was to keep them from having "XXX" all over their internet history.

not a bad move but hope this does not create a bad omen. Perhaps the powers to be would consider shutting this one down and moving us on into XXXI....don’t need no Roman numeral jinks this late in the game !

Isn't it considered unethical to contact a potential assistant in season about a job offer ? T. Martin is under contract at USC. I'm not saying/asking if it's illegal and maybe it happens frequently but it may be percieved as a distraction by the head coach and athletic dept. I know in the NFL you have to ask permission to talk to some assistants while the season is ongoing. Just asking.

No, it happens constantly. You basically reach out to someone's agent via someone else. It's actually on of the main purposes of search firms.

That's why Texas hired Tom Herman within 48 hours of firing Charlie Strong. It was done while he coached Houston and while Strong coached Texas. In the NFL it's tampering because all teams there have a collective bargaining agreement.

Trey Wallace:

"If JG wanted to put this to rest, he would have put it down over the past 4-5 weeks."

"Butch Jones is not coming back in 2018."

"They have a couple of coaches in their back pocket if they need them. Mullen is one of them."

"The rest of the list is: Gundy, Mullen, Brohm, Petrino"

Who is the guest he is talking to right now?

Duh! Got it now, Trey Wallace is the guest on the Zone who is talking now.

Which is exactly when I was told Butch was denied the use of a Haslam jet for the first time since he arrived in Knoxville.

Several, including myself, were told Butch was notified after the GA game he would not be back.

I am all in for Gruden, but 10.2 is insane! Saban only makes about 7 (the 11 this year included a 4million signing bonus)

Crazy....or crazy like a fox??

They’re either all in to see if luck will change or ready to call the dogs if it goes south again

Including incentives...I'd like to see those

About 30 minutes early for our Golden Grumor time..BUT I will take it!!! BOOM Baby!!

 

[iamadoc]

Not one of these timeline Grumors have come true. IMO, anything with a specific timeline given is BS misinformation.

Here is my Grumor, sometime before the Wednesday after the Vandy game, Butch will no longer coach here. Sometime after that, before Christmas, Jon Gruden will accept the position.

If it is Gruden it will be well before the early signing day.

Driving down to Siesta Key FL for a few days of relaxation. Looks like everyone is in a GRude mood! Any major news?


Soon!!!

Oh and Nega's....as always!!!

GTFU!

Love Siesta Key

 

[SmokeMSJ]

If Gruden has been using the Pilot Plane since the Georgia game... This thing is over...
All in

 

[Coach_Z]

Trey Wallace continues:

"We are not reporting grumors. We are reporting truthfully what we are hearing."

"Gruden has had access to the Pilot plane since the GA game"

"There is a reason Jimmy H is offering up him to use his jet for whatever he wants."

"You are not going to see the media say anything in Knoxville because what happened in 2012."

"TN has a good chance at landing JG as their next coach. I put it at 60%."

My only question......why all of this and still only 60%?

 

[LittleDTO]

If this is true, there was no power struggle between Haslam and Ergen or Haslam wants him for the Browns.

Different Haslam. And no, the Browns were never in play.

The Roman Numerals have not worked up to this point. Therefore, I endorse this new title.

So, ummm, I guess I have that going for me....amiright

 

[TenUhSee]

Take the Mullen carp elsewhere. We don't need that kind of negativity in here.

Amen SFD !

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Trey Wallace:

"It is a fluid situation with TN right now."

"Offered Gruden 10.2 million including incentives."

"Told by people in NFL & by people at TN that things are different than 2012"

more to come....

WTH does that mean?

 

[Hawkpilot]

I think your deductive skills are very sharpened and well tuned, however don't discount the emotional trauma that the 2012 search brought upon many posters.

Many (including myself) believed every positive report given, and refused to accept signs along the way because it was what we wanted to hear. Those who some believe are wavering are simply trying to keep an open mind and look at both sides of this coin, to avoid the possibility of a repeat that was their assessment of the 2012 search

Coasty..just asking..not a judgemental question..is it better to be on an emotional roller coaster or to just pick a direction and proceed cautiously? I don't think you are unbalanced...but there are definitely some on here who are
