Official Jon Gruden Thread 33

[zidanefan]

Personally, I think the perfect “Gruden to the Hill” announcement possible on MNF would be for him to do it in the style of a recruit.

Picture this: Cut to a shot of Gruden and co-host standing in studio sometime late in the game as they often do.

Gruden says, “You know, tonight’s a special night. I’ve loved every minute of my time at ESPN, but tonight I’m announcing that it’s time to move on to the next chapter of my life.”

Then, he pulls out a UT hat, a TB Bucs hat, and a UF hat. He picks up the Bucs hat, talks about his love for TB, the fans, and the weather in FL, then says, “... but it’s time for me to go back to college!” And, he puts the Bucs hat on his co-host.

He’d then go on to talk about what a tough decision it was, how great the offers are, and thank everyone for their support. Then he’ll talk about how much he and his wife enjoyed their time in Tampa and how much he loves Florida. After a bit of a suspenseful pause, he’ll say, “... so we’re really looking forward to visiting Gainesville every other year.” He’ll then put the UT hat on, pull out a bottle of lighter fluid, douse the UF hat, and light that joker on fire right there in the studio.

Then, he’ll do this pose while singing Rocky Top without the “woo”:

Yep, I think that’s the way it’s going down.

I'm not arguing anymore with anyone, but just go back and look at my post, I never said Gruden would be announced that day or monday.

I couldn’t remember if it was you or someone else. Forgive me but the insiders are multiplying like rabbits. Hard to know who’s legit anymore. Thanks Face! Jk...

I hunted beside the Lake by Black Bayou. Saw a lot of ducks that wouldn’t work. I am glad my crew only had it for 1 year. Just got a pit in SEMO.

back in '86 didn't they have a rule about "coaches" dating cheerleaders? Or was that politically correct back then.....

Grad Assistants are technically students. I don't think it would even be an issue if it happened today.. Probably does.

Question:

Do AD's still ask permission from other AD's before they talk to their coach about a job opening?

 

[Stoked]

I have a question and sorry if anyone has mentioned it, but way behind so skipped ahead 20 pages at a time.

Not looking for in depth discussions, but rather to see if any others have similar concerns.

I am full GRUDE-ON, but if Currie did in fact contact Martinez, is this remotely possible that Kelly is in play...Martinez would fit his style for sure. I hope not, but been bugging me as I skimmed through the pages.

Would be pretty wild. I haven't heard of anyone mention Kelly to UT. Doesn't mean it won't happen, but no one is really talking about it.

Smokey said it was OK

Want to float this out there and get feedback. Since Gruden IS buying a house in Knoxville regardless of coaching (due to his wife's wishes to be close to family), isn't it in his best interest to squelch rumors about his interest in the job if he's not really interested?
It would reduce the blow-back once he moved into town. If he says early "I love UT and Knoxville but I can't do it guys", I'm good with that. They did that in '08. But string us out like this now? it's a small town and peeps are not going to be nice when they bump into him at the liquor, err, I mean grocery store. Quality of life goes down if everybody is bringing the s*** on him on every corner- which will happen here.

If they want to talk directly but the majority is done behind the scenes through agents.

No idea but I did listen to Josh Ward's interview with the young man. Impressive young man.

 

[Devo182]

Only question is this - where does he go from Charlotte? Ktown or Tampa.

 

[Jxn Vol]

Lots of ducks in the boot hill right now.

Yep that the report. As soon as kill the deer that I’ve been hunting my focus will be fowl.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Late to the party..studying for a job interview on Thursday..anyways..found this after I posted

T-Mobile has the network, Dish has the airwaves. T-Mobile has the brand success, Dish has Sling TV, a streaming app in need of better brand management.But that isn't the only potential combination. T-Mobile could also appeal to Comcast Corp. or John Malone's Charter Communications Inc. -- two cable providers branching into wireless services. And any possible talks between T-Mobile and Dish could even spark a call from Verizon Communications Inc.'s Lowell McAdam to Ergen at Dish

Comcast already launched XFINITY MOBILE! It uses Verizon's cell technology.

Thank You

 

[jay-vol]

Sounds like me, you and ole jay-vol need to do a little quacksmacking!

I'm always down to duck maybe we could Talk Grude into a little smacking.

 

[jutvols]

In this thread, blue font is implied. You only actually use blue font when you're being serious.

That's just wrong...

What general area are you in Mo?

 

[Vols_Life]

Yeah, not heard Kelly talk either, but not been out of this thread in a long time! Just got me to thinking with the Martinez talks... Thanks!
