Jon Gruden thread (merged)

[Orangeslice13]

Do you think he deserves another year? I don't see 2013 being any better. If the players go pro that we expect , next year could be even worse. Plus we go to Florida , Alabama and Oregon.

On the fence. Deserve? Probably not. If it were my call I don't know what I would do. I would probably know by December. I will say this, Stars moving on is not always bad. For example I submit the year after Payton graduated.













No, I'm not saying we win a title next year.

 

[thebjd]

That would be awesome!!!

No.
I posted info once before and was not told anything for over a year from this source.
So not saying anything.
that being said I'm as sure as I can be CDD will be back in 2013.

I absolutely hate reading this. Thanks.

I admit it's not joyful news.

Could it change in a month, though?

Yup. I tired to press for a number of wins but couldn't get one. I can't image 7 wins keeps this job for CDD.

I realistically see this team going 8-4 this year but 6-6 or 7-5 next year. 0-16 vs our rivals and us having to go on a search with Gruden not available next year. That is not joyful news.

The potential record sucks but I think we should go Strong or stay home.




See what I did there?

 

[JayVols]

Sorry. Work got in the way.
I have confidence in this guy that's why I offered the avatar bet as proof instead of take my word for it.

My statement wasn't any expression of doubt.

I know. I like you guys. Can discuss things without drama. Just wanted to respond to you.

Strong is not the answer at coach. Need a proven winner and Louisville doesn't give him that.

I have no inside info (or outside info, for that matter). Just wanted to say how much I enjoy this thread.

He will be by the end of 13.

Good things happen around that #

We are called negavols at every turn. Courtesy of spudvol I think a proper term for the pro-Dooley crowd has been given:

Vollyannas.

What says the Grudenites?


I say kudos spudvol. Whether or not you are a Grudenite, I still tip my hat to you.

No problem. I still hope with every fiber of my being that my sources are right and yours are wrong.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Strong would be a fine choice, but not the number one choice.

Having said that, I am all about Jon Gruden being our next coach.

We try.

Me too.

Agreed.

Oddly enough unless we pull 9 wins I'm with you.

 

[jhunter11]

So you think hes gone if we dont beat state?

Same here.

I would have never guessed that.


Just messin' with ya'.:wink2:

Stranger things have happened, but I can't see a guy that has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory time and time again getting to 9. I think there's a betting line in Vegas on what absurd way he can lose a game next.

 

[Yay4Bray]

Strong is in the top five of Harts list but number one is a done deal.

 

[Orangeslice13]

So you think hes gone if we dont beat state?

My guy says he's solid with Hart for one more year.
I guessing Hart expects to beat certain teams. It would blow my mind if he stays only winning 7.

If you've read any of my posts you know I have zero confidence in the UT administration to get this right.
