Official Jon Gruden Thread III

[BigOrangeFanatic]

So the contract went from averaging $5.25M/yr, to $6.25M down to $5M?

And terms went from 6 years to 10 years? Damn.

Fortunately, I don't buy a word of any of this.

You don't have to buy it. Its for FREE!

This is probably obvious, but it seems to me that the "stuck with the little bastard" comment would lend some creedence to the possibility of a 10 year contract as opposed to a shorter one. Although 7 years is not small deal, either.

agree, but I hope that quote isnt part of introductory press conference

They're around Johnson city, I believe. I used to work with his sister in law, and that's where she is.

There is some family in the Newport area I believe. I think it was stated that the mama-in-law is in Maryville.

Ainge continues his very overt Gruden hints this morning.....saying the contract is for 10 years/ $50mil.

I had heard 7 years, but this coincides with what I was told that there was an interest on both sides for a very long term deal. It also affirms what I was told that Gru wants to be here for personal reasons.

Somebody posted an anonymous quote yesterday that basically said, "I hope this guy can coach, cause we're stuck with him for a long time."

That would shoot down all those saying that he wouldn't be here for the long haul and would be only using us for a stepping stone. Which is utterly ridiculous in the first place.

Treece and Rucker are SPEDS. That has nothing to do with their opinions on this matter however.

Help me out here my friend... What is SPEDS?

If your not buying, buh bye.

Just kidding. But it does go with the long term he is wanting, and the 6.2 was with incentives not base. But what do I know. I am a freaking knucklehead

Yeah, guy that posts in the basketball forum said that his mother in law works in Maryville for some guys he goes to church with. Said Gru was coming.

Treece is from the 'Boro too. He lived in my neighborhood.

Special Ed Students.

Who cares what the figures are at this point. We're gonna pay him a crap load of money to come coach at the finest college football program in the country.

 

[BigSteve09]

What's the news on Gruden talking to multiple teams, Vols being one, about developing his staff?

 

[GmanTN]

Grudens in laws live in Chestnut Hills, it is between the Cocke and Sevier County lines. Chucky was spotted numerous times this past summer on Douglas lake.

Done deal.

 

[vol494]

Special Ed Students.

LOL! Thanks

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Done deal.

What some are saying...

 

[Thrasher865]

What some are saying...

Yeah, I've heard it all before, though. I won't believe it until I see his plane on flight tracker.

So, he gets to live in the great state of East TN, coach his son and show him the ropes of coaching, and have family all around to enjoy it with? Sounds like a smart man to me. Let's get this party started!

I understand...

Do you want it to happen?

Turn the lights out boys, this party is over. Otter has spoken.

Otter is the guy who had to try and wire CDDs office. Nobody has been abused by CDD more than Otter.

Before I sold my motorcycle is was a fun bike ride. Like a mini dragon.

Good morning all are we still patiently waiting on those orange pants to be sent to Goodwill?
