Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIX

[TennGirl0723]

Things change quickly. But again he has requested another meeting and I don't know what came of it. Gruden speaks you listen.

I'm not going to say what kind of feelings I just had reading this, but...whew

 

[BubbaWms]

I used to be on the Gruden train, so I'm not trying to troll, but how the hell can anyone still actually believe Gruden is going to be the coach here? Just move on.

ost-4-1090547957: clean up !

 

[knucklehead_vol]

No, but we know it's above 8M a year from the Gundy numbers alone.

Money isn't the issue.

 

[jp1]

No, look at my posting history. That is completely false. I created a second account to come participate in the Gruden fan fare awhile back as I lost my original acct after the 2012 debacle of a search. I’ve been pro Gruden from day 1.

This was your first response to me. I hadn't quoted you before this point.

Recruiting, won a 3 nattys as a coordinator for 2 different schools. Great scheme D. Saban taught. Regardless of your hate towards Saban and Alabama, thy have the keys to winning lately. I’d like someone groomed by him.

Yet you come in this thread chastising anyone with hope of Gruden, then go on to say people with differing opinions aren't accepted and poor me. I had a differing opinion of Pruitt and how did you respond?

 

[AMBAVol07]

I am not sure on the deadline. All I am telling you is that there was a counter. Not sure what I‎t is or when, but finding out that it’s not dead yet. Just here to report simply from what I hear.

Could Gruden be stalling so he can finish the MNF season?

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Money isn't the issue.

Ooohhhhhhh. Gotcha now.

 

[nagle]

I take that back I want Pruitt as HC here we need some smash mouth football 😁👍🏽 I support this💪🏽

 

[Hawkpilot]

Guys, give it more time. Obviously there’s something extensive to hash out. Since it’s taking this long, I’m thinking more and more it’s Gruden. There’s prob so many legal stipulations they have to sign and go over because of any endorsements he may have. If it was Pruitt, I wouldn’t think it would take this long.

And if there are NDA's getting info is near impossible

 

[VolNExile]

Heresy, I know, but I’m kind of exasperated at all this dithering on JG’s end. It’s not like this is a new concept, and the whole country probably expected the job to open up this fall.

Sign the freakin’ papers and get recruiting!

—oh, and announce the hire too!!

 

[Dtj64]

I will use that. I actually have multiple persimmon trees on my property. Deer love them.

I had to quote devil ance Hatfield on that one bray. Lol

 

[Squints]

We’ve all talked about different candidates in here since day 1 as fall backs. Just because you don’t like someone’s fallback, doesn’t mean it isn’t allowed as it has been since day 1. Yes, I want Gruden too! I just try to be positive about other potentials! Nothing wrong with this.

That line of thinking by enough people will completely undo the stand that was made last week. For some reason, Kiffin, Dooley and Jones come to mind....

Only this time, you're willing to accept coaches with no HC experience, while superimposing it onto UT with other coaches who had success relatively expeditiously after their transition.

I haven’t seen you on the Gruden train once today. As a matter of fact, I was really starting to feel like you were trolling. If you’re still on, then strap in! If not, that’s ok, too. Just don’t expect that you’ll get a warm and fuzzy response.

Let's Ride

Chatta later on in that thread said that Duke was just joking. Chatt never said that.

 

[sona]

Money isn't the issue.

His requirements (from 2012 I think) were posted at one point. Things like only answering to one person, not having to get approval for lots of mundane crap and expenditures, etc.

 

[Leximax]

I bet you don't give out advice about tattoos though.

Tattoos stay under wraps at work, always.

 

[Dudleys87]

Yep and we need to find the cheapest coach we can find to uphold our hiring tradition.

Tennessee doesent do cheap though

Where have I chastised anyone? You have me mistaken for someone else.

 

[KPT_VFL]

If money isnt the issue then what is?

 

[UTSuave’]

Lots of things going on. All I can say. It isn't dead yet.

With "lots of things going on" do you think gruden called them today to meet again and that why they left NYC🤔

 

[BubbaWms]

Anyone know if this dudes legit?

actually all 3 are legit !

 

[warrior]

Countered, or finally decided which DC he wanted?

Exactly. They are looking for his coordinators.

No, I don’t believe it’ll be him any longer. But I don’t fault anyone for feeling this way nor do i chastise them.

 

[ATPVol]

Latest that I got on Pruitt is that their hung up on him coaching for Bama in the playoffs and Sexton had to leave NYC, regarding his other clients.

Bammer lifer and a Sexton client. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Show him the money and tell him if he wants this job he needs to kiss Nick goodbye tonight, hop a plane to Knoxville, and be ready to take over full time tomorrow after his press conference. Otherwise, we should just go back and pay out Brohm’s contract. At least he has positive head coaching experience at a power 5 school
