Official Jon Gruden Thread III

[Doyle Hargraves]

The turmoil they create is what they thrive on. Banishing them to the corner is wishful thinking lol.

They did it to us first!

 

[Orange Blazer]

I agree with discussion, however there is no cause for some to trash the ones that are trying to share info. They can kindly disagree and be civil.

If the mods see fit the delete this thread, no hurt feelings.

Why don't you create a thread that allows posters to bash our current team, staff, and posters who do support them? That has been the trend a lot longer than posters who disagree with all the Gruden b.s.

 

[RagingOrange]

Except you can't sign 30 in one class.

What is the signing limit?

 

[Wilson27]

Anyone heard an interview where Gruden was asked about taking a job, in particular TN, but any job for that matter?

Just heard him say that a good coach can do it at ANY level.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Fire Dooley and prepare for a middle school coach.

Not a single reputable coach will come here following the attrition that will follow losing another head coach.

Can't you hear the pitch from Hart now, "... and after 2 recruiting classes, if we're not winning championships, you will be fired, too!" Yea, sign me up for that.... LOL

Your screen name is a damned lie.

 

[xXRockyTopXx]

quite possible.

Though close to 30 players have told Hart they are done if DD is fired.

Like I have said, it's a mess right now.

Well.....bye

 

[SaluteToTheHill]

I want two things for Christmas...Gruden and for this team to hold it together enough not to lose to Vandy.

This, and that hostess committee! :boobies:

 

[RagingOrange]

You act as if we dont get Gruden someone messed up. Gruden may simply not want to coach here.

I think he is simply saying its that close to being a done deal. Meaning, if somebody messes it up this late in the process, its an eff up...

 

[Wilson27]

This, and that hostess committee! :boobies:

Only the second from left!!!

 

[TOP]

You screen name is a damned lie.

I was going to say, I think he got "smart" and "stupid" mixed up when coming up with his name.

 

[TnAngler]

You screen name is a damned lie.

Good old Doyle has joined the party.

 

[Orange Blazer]

You act as if we dont get Gruden someone messed up. Gruden may simply not want to coach here.

This is the sentiment that was used when Randy Shannon didnt come here. "Someone "messed it up". It doesn't meet their agenda if he chooses not to coach here so they will revert to "Hart botched the hire".

 

[tim]

I state it that way only based on the information I have. You are welcome to see it another way. It's all good.

So if Gruden doesnt get 6 mil a year its somebody's fault? There is a market for this sort of thing. Again if an offer is made and Gruden doesnt accept its on Gruden.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

You would be surprised. Personalities dont mean chit if you're winning. See Saban

And winning is the one thing Dooley struggles with the most.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

My Christmas list:

1)Jon Gruden

:rock:

 

[FearlessFreep]

So WTF did Hubbs supposedly say?

I doubt he has anything but blind squirrels/nut.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

quite possible.

Though close to 30 players have told Hart they are done if DD is fired.

Like I have said, it's a mess right now.

What's up Sparty. But I think that is why he is watching.

 

[Wilson27]

And winning is the one thing Dooley struggles with the most.

Doyle just wants a new band after that little blow up with the boys is all. He's hurtin' Linda...

 

[JayVols]

Hubbs on the job situation.



He also says that when/if Hart decides to make a change he will handle it much like Bama did when hiring Saban. Realizing that CFB is big business now and you have to pay big bucks to get the money back on your investment.

So that is encouraging.

BUT LIKE I HAVE BEEN SAYING, anyone who thinks anything is already decided or determined is SERIOUSLY setting themselves up for disappointment.

Dooley will not be fired next week unless something major happens on Saturday (losing by 30+). he will likely coach the rest of the season then an evaluation will be made.

I am sorry the rumor crew has gotten everyone riled up but Hubbs ALWAYS nails this kind of thing and if you think LWS and Hubbs are in the dark on this you are wrong.

Still hoping for the best from this season!

GO VOLS!

1st Bold paragraph:

Not according to those that have seen a MOU

2nd Bold paragraph:

Dooley is done. End of story. The evaluations have already been made, and the decision that he will not be back next year is final regardless the outcome of the rest of the season. I can't stress that more strongly. When it actually happens is the only matter that is unclear at this time. His actions/attitude/mouth/losing have sealed his fate. Barbara has already visited and poured a 40oz on the ground for "Precious".

3rd Bold paragraph:

Hubbs tells what he is told he can tell. He will not jeopardize the gravy train he has going with the UT AD. LWS is a respected poster. I like the guy and have nothing at all against him; however, his access was hurt significantly after the separation with Fulmer.

 

[SaluteToTheHill]

Only the second from left!!!

She is definitely a 5* but I would except a commit from any of them.

 

[Panthro]

So now I am a jerk. Outstanding, you don't know me and you feel the need to call me out of my name. I never said that I do or don't believe the Gruden hype, only that there is no reason to attack those that are trying to shed light on what is being said.

For the record, I tend to believe OCI, Skeeter, DTO and don't want them to stop providing input because of the personal attacks against them.

Take it easy, bud. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Take a Midol and back away from the computer.
I wasn't seriously attacking you as a person. Sheesh!

 

[pattiycake]

This, and that hostess committee! :boobies:

We are going to have to get you a babysitter.

 

['Boro-vol]

This is the sentiment that was used when Randy Shannon didnt come here. "Someone "messed it up". It doesn't meet their agenda if he chooses not to coach here so they will revert to "Hart botched the hire".

For the record, I don't think Hart is in complete control of this process. In the unikely event this falls through, he won't get my blame.


So much anger.....its not good for you.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Really, you're telling me that a kid who has aspirations of playing in the NFL would rather play for Derek Dooley than Jon Gruden? Really?

They will stay.

Who said that?

 

[WesternKyVol]

So WTF did Hubbs supposedly say?

I doubt he has anything but blind squirrels/nut.

Hubbs finds lots and lots of nuts. He only shares them if his boss lets him. Hubbs's recent comments show a clear move in the Gruden to Tennessee direction from his previous ones.
