Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVIII

[VolzMan53]

really looking forward to the video when Coach Fulmer announces Coach Gruden to the players !!

 

[UTVolinExile]

If we had not fought them off you would of had Schiano.

Every Vol fan should remember this.

 

[EZE]

If it isn't Gruden, then we better be prepared to be very underwhelmed. We will be wondering how we went from Gundy and Leach into the gutter.

But, hey, at least we put the new age boosters in a better position of power, right?

 

[Devo182]

Can anyone vouch for Spencer Warren?

Twitter

Lol cmon 23 followers...nobody.

 

[lifeVol]

I believe that had Currie been running a search in good faith and not Haslam's con with Schiano, Gruden would be our coach today.

totall agree Exile, Currie is an idiot traitor (and worse words)

 

[ASamWitch]

Yep, the quiet is eerie. I can’t decide if it’s good or bad, so I’m going to side with “good”. Lol.

My choice as well. Just about everything coming out has been floated for some time. I also don't buy the 'got to be in NY for days' angle either. Coach is too much Tenn to be just hanging out while the ship has no captain. JMHO

 

[Squints]

Relying on polls is hardly mitigating subjectivity. That's promoting it.

Are you crazy? What did you not understand about equal representation and three distinctly independent polls?

You mean to tell me a mathematically provable model is more subjective than a 13-member panel pulling all the strings?

Yeah, ok.... :crazy:

 

[motochamp250]

Even if it ain't Gruden I hope they at least make him publicly say no. I would be satisfied that they at least tried versus them just telling us that he said no.... But what am i saying? GRUDEN :whistling:

 

[superdave1984]

And 4 more bowl games that currently mean nothing would be able to fill their stadiums.

Just trying to settle the "who should be in" discussion. Most of the 40 bowl games mean nothing anyway.

I'm going to disagree. If things were as close as some thought, myself included, Gruden would be the coach right now. Fulmer would have wrapped him up this weekend.

We believed, a group of boosters had him close or even had signed a MOU. If true, Fulmer would have little left to do. Said boosters would have still been on board. Gruden's rumored assistants are still available. This would have been done quickly and he would be recruiting.

 

[govols10302bb]

Longer there is no word.. The closer it seems the word is YES

 

[VolzMan53]

Yep, I bet there's a storm coming

damn straight skippy !!

 

[EZE]

Every Vol fan should remember this.

Yes, because if it doesn't lead to a better hire, it was a colossal waste of time...with the only result to elevate the egos of some lower level boosters.

 

[tennvols77]

so we might have to wait until end of the week.......boooooo! Patience is not a virtue anymore

 

[Devo182]

List of people yet to give a definitive no:

Gruden
Brohm
Les
Morris
Leach

Morris is the odd man out here. He doesnt even belong on such a list.

 

[MaTaLa]

First, thank you all for helping me get through the night last night.

Some of you here are aware that our cat was diagnosed with a tumor a few weeks ago.

She’s been a part of our family for 17 years.

Today, I say goodbye - for a while.

I could use that group hug that was going around a couple of days ago. 😔

May Peace wrap it's loving arms around you and your family. <3

If it all has been done, we are just waiting for the announcement. I think it would be done on Gruden's timetable rather than ours. Which hurts early signing. And we would have to keep on with the facade of interviewing other candidates. Basically a Fulmer roadie.

 

[volgr]

NY Giant fans, or a portion, are wanting Gruden. Don't know if he would be interested in coaching in the same division as his brother. Probably not. Interesting none the less.

 

[UTVolinExile]

You think today with MNF?

Honestly don't know. I can hope!

Yeah, ok.... :crazy:

The model is subject to somebody's bias. You're simply replacing one subjective process with another.

Subjectivity belong in figure skating not football.

Gruden
Brohm

Morris
Leach

Forgot Petersen. Probably hasn't even been called.

 

[Devo182]

In fairness, you don’t waste time interviewing Morris period if Les is the backup plan. I don’t put too much stock in hubbs report of where Phil went considering he couldn’t find Phil.

Morris is Grude's OC. Les+Tee+Chavis is Grude+Morris+Steele backup. It is so obvious.

I wonder if Haslam wants him in Cleveland. Gruden is an Ohio native. Hue will be fired in a few weeks.

Couldn't agree more but additional meaningful bowl games would be a nice byproduct.

 

[OrangeSwarm22]

"Gruden till it aint" has worked great, actually... It still "aint" anyone else, therefore it's still Gruden. What about that isn't working?

Your better hope we never hire a coach then. Then you can always say it’s still Gruden. &#129300;
