Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIX

[anthorain]

No. If Gruden gave us his final decision of "NO" after ALL this time, then he trolled us. He dragged our entire fanbase and university through the mud by never shooting down the rumors.

Of course, some of the "insiders" were probably trolls too.

This.

Gruden could have easily said no. He has done so to NFL teams recently. The fact that he hasn’t shows that he’s just sponging media attention over this ordeal.

I have seen all these names all day...all DC's, Tee and Morris being OC's but no mention of what jobs they were being interviewed for but everyone assumes it's for HC but that doesn't make sense. I think the head coach has already been decided on.

Been thinking the same thing.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

This is the way I see it happening...
1. Pruitt is hired
2. Most of volnation is pissed
3. Pruitt has PC
4. Volnation - that was the greatest PC ever. This guy is going to kill it.




5. 5 years later....Official Gruden thread XLV

We've already had Thread XLV

HC

Show me a link where someone reported it was for HC.

 

[Achilles]

Its called getting trolled my dude. Gruden trolled us.

You think he led the entire University to believe he was coming and then simply said no?

PV wouldn't troll us, he's got WAY more things to keep him busy. Trolls usually are people begging for attention because they never get any. This doesn't fit who PV is.

There's gotta be something I'm missing.

 

[windrider]

Im not saying that will happen. Just pointing out facts.

This is the most important hire at UT in 10 years. I cannot see Phil taking a chance hiring a head coach from our biggest rival. Think of the firestorm if Pruitt fails. You ain't seen nothing yet if that happens and Phil's reputation would be forever tarnished.

He isn't getting media attention over this.....

 

[UTSuave’]

Grumors are stupid

The fact your name is big Gucci Sosa...makes you credible 🔥🔥😁 have a like👍🏽

 

[SmokeyTop]

We already had XLV

I just threw out some letters

 

[andywilson001]

Doesn’t that mean that he did great here? Good grief people. Worrying about something that could or could not possibly happen in a few years

That’s not why I don’t want him. His ties to Bama are too deep to coach at Tennessee. Born there, played there, coaches there... HC at Bama is his dream job.

 

[SoKnoxVol]

I’m not giving in! Pruitt could very well laterally move to UT for the $$$.

Wishful thinking!

 

[lifeVol]

I'm sorry, did I miss something, did we actually hire Pruitt ?

 

[m1al]

i wish we could have a coaching search every year

Hell yea.. Ape, you da man...

 

[nirwin]

Josh McDaniels, Jon Gruden are first to address Giants’ job | New York Post

I might believe every half-baked rumor I've seen on this site over the last couple of weeks before I believe anything the New York Post has to say about the Giants coaching search.

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

It was over before it started

2012 and 2017 went down almost exactly the same

Y’all are FOS

Lol you sound mad...

 

[Weezer]

Does Bama still run a 3-4 primarily? I'm just curious if that's Pruitt's scheme? We all remember what happened the last time we tried a 3-4 defense, also with a former Bama defensive mind. Seems like once more, the talking heads on the Hill have forgotten their history, leaving us doomed to repeat it.

My thoughts exactly. Something is up!

[andywilson001]

How long till Saban leaves?

Well he’s 66 years old and I don’t see him coaching much past 70... So I’d guess another 4 years, 5 tops.

 

[volinjackson]

According to who?

Thank you for asking, because no one has said what job Fulmer was interviewing for.

 

[Volgirl4u]

Sorry, got overzealous there. My thoughts exactly. Something is up!

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Would Pruitt come for Gruden?

For what Gruden wants to pay his assistants, yes.


Last week the media was saying nobody wants the UT job. This week we are interviewing 3 DCs in the playoffs and one that barely missed the playoffs.

 

[govols444]

Looks like that's a wrap folks. I've enjoyed this thread, but I'm glad its finally over. I'm also looking forward to reacquainting myself with my wife and children, I bet they've grown. Looks like we're in for more of the seemingly perpetual rebuild...

 

[VFL2098]

Gruden to the Hill

 

[SandoVOL]

This hire has see you in 4-5 years written all over it. Extremely disappointing to watch helplessly while incompetence takes something so wonderful and rot it from the inside out. Darn shame.

 

[Smokeytom]

He isn't getting media attention over this.....

You mean those reports of us offering him 10.3 million aren't going to help him negotiate whenever he does take a job?
