Official Jon Gruden Thread 35

[superdave1984]

i agree, 100%.

but if the goalposts have been moved, doesn't that mean the paper hasn't been signed?

Or the game is over, we won big, and the volnation faithful stormed the field and ripped them down.

 

[vol445]

I’m still at 95%

 

['Boro-vol]

Hey Boro you remember James Howes from Murfreesboro Oakland back in the mid The 80s ended up at Texas a m. Just curious. I believe he won the first Mr. Football award in The State.

I don't. I went to HS in Nashville....Overton class of '88. Moved to the Boro the first time in '99. I was living there when I registered on VN.

 

[Sudden Impact]

You, AtlantaVol, Boro, DTO, etc are the posters that I trust. You guys bring the info you hear, and I trust you’re getting good info! From what I’ve seen all of your all’s info lines up, so that’s a positive in my opinion. I see Bubba and MITbeav, and think yeah they might be trolls. I however do not believe they are. You would have to be somebody living in your moms basement to troll as hard as they have been. I mean think about things logically guys. If Alabama has a coaching search and they had a “dream candidate” would you go through the lengths these guys have gone through to convince an opposing fan base that it’s happening? I believe these guys personally because you’d have to be insane to devote that much time to trolling. I would make somebody pay me to troll that much, and I don’t think there are any professional trolls in our midst. Trolls are the ones that pop in once or twice to say it’s happening then never show back up, and these guys have not done that! They’ve been consistent with their message, and they have also been nice and cordial to the good people on this board. Y’all think I’m crazy if you want, but I don’t think those guys are trolls.

I love you Bubba

Im good. Not here for validation, just passing on info I received for free. If you’re really searching for validation just look at my post on Butch Jones firing at 3:00am on Sunday morning.
I’m not an insider, nor claim to be one just happen to be close friends with someone who’s in the know.

So just to be clear on "moving the goal post a bit" do you mean as in the date and time or his demands have changed?

 

[Voltrapnbama]

I'm at .001 percent. It has all the makings of 2012. It's happening..

 

[Behr]

Spot on? Or hit or miss?

Depends.

 

[Kurtastrophe]

I disagree. They will pick at every little thing that doesn't go perfectly.

Maybe. Alabama wasn't exactly a media darling before Saban arrived.

The only universal media darlings I can think of are Notre Dame and Ohio State.

 

[UTSuave’]

Depends.

Hmm,grain of salt it is

I’d add usc.

I see your point. Maybe everyone has gotten past the Chris Fowler thing.

 

[iamadoc]

For those asking for the DEBBQ tweet. Obviously taking advantage of desperate fans.

But now I want BBQ and Chili.

Not desperate here. Fanatic, hence the term.:dance2:

...and Michigan.

 

[Kurtastrophe]

I’d add usc.

They're up there with Duke and UK basketball.

The only universal media darlings I can think of are Notre Dame and Ohio State.

And Florida State

 

[dono]

You have to pay the troll toll, if you want inside that boy’s soul.

 

[Coastypop]

Respectfully
you spend a few days saying it is basically a done deal and stirring the pot and now you are backtracking and saying it is 50% and want to drop out of the thread.

Respectfully, I never said it was a "done deal"... you have NEVER read a post of mine that said that....

And as NEW information comes to me I may change again... Some people never change their mind because they trust one source completely and I understand that...as for me mine are complied from several and each day I hear something new sometimes it is extremely positive and sometimes it is negative ... When I change it is because I hear something that made me change.... It wears me out

 

[BigOrangeVol29]

If Gruden is moving the goalposts is that a normal part of negotiating? You get something you want, you know the other party is clearly intent on doing what it takes to secure your services, you negotiate to get something else you want until you feel satisfied you have gotten whatever significant items you truly wanted. Nothing unusual, if true.

yes, a little clarification would be wonderful and greatly appreciated.
:hi:

 

[jtupnsmoke]

Swain just replied to the Dead End BBQ pic that "It will be so good to see Gruden back at DEBBQ" . Someone asked WILL or WOULD??? He quickly deleted it. Wonder if he slipped or if he didn't wanna deal with answering the questions.

 

[Sstterry]

And Florida State

And Tennessee
(too soon???) :ermm:

 

[superdave1984]

And Florida State

I dunno. The media piled on during the crabgate down there. There hasn't been much love for FSU post Bowden.

What are you singing, Frank? It's BOY'S SOUL!
