Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIX

[DougVol]

If we end up with a name like Pruitt after a name like Gruden actually hit the national media, this will go down as one of the worst coaching hire failures ever.

Not true.

What did Paul Vol say...I can't seem to find it.

That's the problem. He didn't say anything. Posted 2 gifs. One was calm down, second was the good hands logo

I’m pretty sure PV and the original owner know each other. Their either related or friends of the family one. If PV got wind of him doing this, I’m pretty sure there would be an a$$ chewing in order. That’s why I think it’s PV

Gotcha. I didn’t want to accuse him of anything. PV was very articulate and kind with his posts. To go from that to all gifs just seemed odd. Maybe a butt chewing is in order. Lol.

It already is -- regardless of who is hired.

Biggest Circus s..t show? Yes

We NEED a coach with head coaching experience. A big name right? Hmmm. I wanted Gruden as much as anybody here...but it's interesting that 3 of the 4 coaches in the BCS playoffs this year are all former assistants/coordinators currently on their 1st ever head coaching gigs.

You're right my friend.

 

[tidybowlchamps]

I'm more confused than a baby at a topless bar.

 

[jb865]

I think there is a reason we haven't heard about a coach yet, We are waiting on someone to decide.

 

[SouthpawTN]

This. Perfectly said.

Perfectly said, other than the fact that they are functionally retarded and don't know the difference between "were" and "where".

 

[volfan1631]

I'd rather have a crazy SOB pirate named Leach. Maybe i'm more offensive than defensive thinking and that is why.

 

[MaTaLa]

Well there it is.

The ultimate underachiever

I'd rather have Steele and that's just above losing my left eye in desired outcomes

Unless things go sideways (and who could forsee that happening), I expect Tennessee to decide to hire ALABAMA DC Jeremy Pruitt...Pruitt wants $ commitments for support staff but he is excellent leader, coach & recruiter & I think Fulmer sees that....

 

[VolNate]

Speak for yourself. A career coordinator does not excite me. Period. We are a pinnacle program, not a landing spot for on-the-job training and the Tennessee lottery.

Multiple paths for sure. Coordinators to HCs in the NFL are far more successful than college to pro HCs.

I’m betting that in colleges we can find as many examples of Coordinators at big time programs moving up successfully as we see Head Coaches that move up from smaller programs.

I mean look at that championship series. 3 our of 4 head coaches were coordinators.

Still wanted Gruden.

What is the latest? I had a close family member pass away last night. Been dealing with funeral homes and life insurance companies and haven't had time to read all the new pages. I am too tired and don't have the energy to read them all. Can someone give a girl a summary ?

i'm feeling your pain right about now. prayers and condolences. i'm like you, looking for info in shorthand.

 

[EastTN]

I think where is a reason we haven't heard about a coach yet, We are waiting on someone to decide.

I hope you are right but D*** he has had weeks to decide if not longer. If what we heard was true he had the figures a long time ago. If it takes that long to decide I am not sure he really wants the job to start with.

Perfectly said, other than the fact that they are functionally retarded and don't know the difference between "were" and "where".

Perfectly said, not the same as perfectly written. Lol. Regardless, it hits the nail on the head.

 

[volgr]

This. Perfectly said.

This is akin to telling your franchise to draft a QB in the 6th round because Tom Brady worked out. Or take more 2 star kids because JJ Watt panned out.

 

[UTSuave’]

Actually last Sunday remember CBS put out an article saying John Gruden was in talks with Tennessee to become head coach....then later that day Shiano's name came out

An article yes!..but never discussed among analysts or talk show host ,they didn't even get to smell that article to comment on it before the bull**** happened ,I believe it was out for like 30 minutes or so

 

[Bluegrass Vol]

That's the problem. He didn't say anything. Posted 2 gifs. One was calm down, second was the good hands logo

I'm still learning my way around in here..lIs there a way to search for just a certain posters posts if your on a phone?

 

[Squints]

The coaching search to date:

How I fear it will end:

 

[VFL2098]

So has PV posted today? Anybody know what post it was so I can go back

 

[EastTN]

An article yes!..but never discussed among analysts or talk show host ,they didn't even get to smell that article to comment on it before the bull**** happened ,I believe it was out for like 30 minutes or so

You are correct, I was just stating that an actual new source did come out with the information that he was being talked to. And went on to say offer of 10 mill with 8 mill for staff.

 

[Ez_Vol]

So much for Come Together. We about to hire the epitome of Alabama.

I guess if you can't beat em, bring em to the Hill.

 

[Orange4Prez]

I’m sure you could have convinced a top tier coach to take over this hot mess. Shame you weren’t named AD.

 

[anthorain]

Let’s just say I’m skeptical.
