Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIII

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I'd hope he would bring some NFL guys on staff, but for Gruden, surrounding himself with experienced college guys might be more important.

I agree, he would need a really experienced recruiting coordinator.

Idk if it is true or not, but a post on VQ says 247 has said Gruden has talked to Randy Sanders, Dale Jones, and Jay Graham. They say he is a long shot.

The rumor was Currie wanted to hire a coach right after firing Butch. The media was told something could happen after UK game, something obviously fell through. The next week Gruden is in town for just a few hours, rumor was he was signing something. The next week Butch is let go and multiple people have said Gruden has contacted potential staff members and Currie is telling recruits he has a great coach in place..... Hmmmm

I get that, but Freeze is an example of an idiot being too obvious. You obviously have to play the game, but you can't do it obviously.

100%

Would hope the great grude is subtle in his ways.

 

[Go Fight Win]

Not sure what to think RE: Marlin Lane.

On one hand, we all know butch ran kids off the team.

On the other, if he had marlin “threaten lives”, that is a pretty serious crime

He’s saying he will hire a great coach. Not telling them he has one in place unless I missed that huge detail

Not doing well tonight. Please continue to pray

Got you man.

I just listened to Hoke's presser and it struck me that that was the first time since Fulmer was here that I listened to someone at the podium who actually sounded like a football coach. Lane always sounded like the kid who inherited the company without working a day there and both Dooley and Butch were bizarre and at times flat out brutal to listen to.

And no I'm not saying we should hire Hoke. I just found it odd that it's been that long. The wise-cracking kid, the bamboo watering nazi-hunter, and cliche king had made me forget what a football coach tends to sound like.

“They”...is that 247 or the 3 VFLs?

Close enough. Dean said the AD called me and said he's "about to hire a great coach"

 

[Hammer85]

Live look at the Gruden thread

 

[RikidyBones]

Kind of wild that Brady Hoke is our head coach right now.

Will do. I'm not doing well either, so let's just pray for each other.

What does this mean? And who is MR?

Supposedly lead singer of Old Dominion. Sang at CMA was repotedly OLEVOLFAN's source. Dude was accurate on Sunday being shakeout day. Also knew pilot plane went private after rumored to be available to Gruden.

I think he meant ruining their lives, but still not good

 

[Nashvegas31]

Marlin conveniently leaving out the part about being accused of sexual assault. I mean I get Butch wasn't a saint but it will take stories from guys with more clout than People butthurt they weren't good enough for NFL or got in Troubke and don't want to admit

Why is some country music songwriter supposed to know about gruden?

Also, impossible to be “right” about something when the decision wasn’t made until after he said it.

Even I told people “if it’s a blowout loss, butch is fired”

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

I need to hone in on my mental toughness. My Grudometer runs from 0-90 back to 0 in 10 seconds at least 20 times a day.

Drae Bowles’ actions should be viewed in context to the extent that it would appear his chick was hooking up with AJ and lying to him about it.

I popped to 20% a few weeks ago but have stayed at less than 1% for a while. I believe everything about him reaching out to former coaches and that we are in this thing. Just too many national writers saying it is a pipe dream for me to climb on board.

And I have my doubts about how good the UT is perceived to be at the moment. Not because I personally don’t think it’s good (far from it!). More that I’ve listened to a bunch of people in the last few years say it isn’t good and mainly point to the Bama series.

This hire will be telling.

What else is he saying?

Gruden is 100%. This MR guy is tied in with a boosters son.

Look at his posts, and draw your own conclusions. He was potentially outed as not being accurate.
