Official Jon Gruden Thread 34

[Orange_Crush]

Lol what? You believe a 10 million dollar contract should be something settled within 24 hours? When's the last time you bought a 10 million dollar house and why should this be easier to negotiate and agree than your 10 million dollar home was?

Dear god. You people are ridiculous.

Well, my $10 mil home purchase was a cash deal, so it went a bit more simply, but I get your point.

 

[Vol8188]

This is not buying a car where someone goes back to talk to the sales manager with each counter.

This is just a simple business deal where both parties know pretty well what it will take to get the deal done before they ever sit down together.

This should have taken place a week or two ago.

If you want the job you get the best deal you can and move on. If you are not sure, you stall and see if they bow to the pressure.

Now is the time to say yes or let silence be your no.

You don't believe there's anything to negotiate? Salary? Bonuses? Buyout? Contract length? How much he will get to assistants?

I hope you're just trolling

 

[Grand Vol]

No, he is a much better coach. He is not the sexy hire, but he is a damn good one. His UF offenses were solid. His quarterbacks have been nothing short of spectacular in college. He's got 2 in the nfl right now. One in MLB.:dance2:

<sigh>

CWV, you know me and you know how pragmatic I am.

You're wrong on a great many levels about Mullen being a "great" hire.

 

['Boro-vol]

I sooooo want this ride to be over, but at the same time, I sooooo don't want this ride to be over.

So damn conflicted.

Enjoy the ride....won't last forever.

Sounds like Gruden is declining to comment on Tennessee....interesting

Weirdest thing in the world to make up that I "hate the Vols." Not sure why a sane person would fabricate that out of thin air.

Gruden is not talking to the Vols, he is not going to coach the Vols. Period.

 

[NAILS]

No...no I haven't.&#128526;

But you are still here posting in the Gruden thread &#128077;

 

[sona]

Don't listen to anything

They don't know

Currie even said he wasn't talking again until he introduces the new coach

They are getting info from sites just like this, trying to be the first to be right.

Brice is solid, but he is only as good as his source. Most is all guessing.

That's the impression that I get. I think I will close about a dozen twitter tabs for now.

 

[vol445]

Oh my any one hearing we lost gruden but on the good front. This guy said yes

 

[TechnoVol]

If Gruden has strung the fan base along by not shutting down this talk and leaving us holding an empty bag again... Does he deserve a GTFO?

 

[tvolsfan]

Agree 100%. If we passed on Chip and he lands at UF it means our entire AD failed at their jobs. You clean house because it would be obvious winning isn't a priority.

I’ll take Gruden over Chip. Mullen or Norvell? Not so much.

 

[bigmac]

The Chip Kelly stuff is all over the map in the interwebs right now also.....tons of people saying yes and others saying no way. So...if it turns out that Kelly goes to FL then we know that all the nega-Grude stuff is bull. Its all playing out the same way. Just on a much smaller level.

[Hawkpilot]

It's a long flight, ladies and gentlemen, so just sit back and enjoy the in-flight entertainment.

Oh, and be careful not to exit too soon, you might miss important developments.

That's a 6 count on a helo. Means you need to use patience.

Wrong

 

[FBtime]

The only thing with Gruden is I can't help but believe he'd go ahead and say no by now if he was going to. Otherwise, he'd have to know the dire straights that dragging this out only to decline puts Tennessee in by losing time to search for another coach and damaging morale of hundreds of thousands, dare I say millions, of orange loving people. Surely he wouldn't do us like that this time. Not after all we've been through.

People keep saying this but I don't remember him coming out and publically saying no in 2012 (during the search). We just started going in a different direction.

 

[Vol8188]

Don't let the dollars rattle you. It is a business deal. The terms are not very different from a $5M deal.

Money is the amount and not the deal.

Get it done or move on.

How often do you do ten million dollar business deals? Assuming you lie and say constantly, how often are they finalized in 48 hours?

Perhaps the issue is not between UT and Gruden, it is between Gruden and ESPN. And he really can't speed them up if they want to drag it out. Unless of course he just says F it and quits.

 

[jasonvol18]

I was at about 98 but since the Swain tweet, I'm down to 40. I'm just going to ride it out and see what happens.

Don't pay any attention to Swain.

 

[DougVol]

You still have your mattress?

Some poor soul probably using it still in Massey Hall. Too funked up to catch fire

 

[vol4eva]

You don't accept until the deal is right. If he comes out and says, "Hey, I really, really want this job." What do you think that does to his deal? Has he increased or decreased his leverage?

Hopefully they'd be able to come to an agreement on the terms of the deal at this point. At some point, you either want the job or you don't.

 

[MaTaLa]

Calling out Beav. How much you want to put on Gruden coaching here? If your so sure lets put it out in public and quit BSing around.

I'll wait.

Lulz

 

[SmokeyLives]

Hey, Urban Meyer won’t take the Ohio State job either.

Urban Meyer denies reports he's new Ohio State Buckeyes coach

 

['Boro-vol]

All. Is. Well.

 

[1725gatorhater]

Enjoy the ride....won't last forever.

Hopefully by Friday. I want Gruden before LSU game!
