Official Jon Gruden Thread IV

Status quo.



The updated version. Not the old one.

Slice, what is your definition of status quo? I have my definition, but I am having hard time fitting that into what is being discussed here...

 

[wU-Tang Vol]

No, I never coached in the pros.

College you recruit Pros your GM buys the team
College you teach Pros you ask your felons to play
College different team every year Pros maybe
College you mentor Pros you hope players play
College dealing with kids Pros you're dealing with Felons

Pros the coach only has so much say in what players you get.
Pros you are less likely to have the same team for 4 years than in college.
Pros you face the best of the best week in and week out.
Pros have a policy restricting any coach from wearing houndstooth cuz it's tacky.

No...despite people claiming its a done deal and has been for weeks..I hope it works out but the people claiming to have sources are usually FOS on here.

 

[volfan4evr]

Some folks, whose reliability I am not familiar with, take it a step further than looking for a house.

If any of our posters in the Knox area are in real estate, thoe records won't be hard to trace down, Just sayin'.

 

[northknoxvol]

Just beat it.....beat it.....beat it.......no one leaves defeated!

 

[thebjd]

I believe one of the 2 was pre-season. Not technically a win, but still a win.

I'll take it

No need in looking...Its more BS.

 

[Wilson27]

Never said that Gruden was a "guarantee" to succeed. Things can go wrong but the percentages are with his success in the NFL, his connections to hire top assistants, his charisma and fame to recruit top talent. Combine all that with him rallying this fan base bodes well. No one can say 100 percent he will be great here but all you can do is take the information at hand and feel pretty good about it. As for the Dooley part of the question...he has NEVER proved he could win anywhere. No La. Tech and not here.

 

[Oldvol75]

Great to see the Bama nation starting to sweat a little. Sounds like others are starting to worry!

Had a bama fan the other day tell me he thought Dooley was a good coach, and I told him I though Shula was a good coach too! He dropped it,

HA! Have had this same thing happen to me! I remember when Florida hired Spurrier and I thought oh $hit too!

Thanks. You really should have mentioned this sooner....would've saved a lot of bandwidth.

Easy to prove Dude. You live in the area, go to the court house yourself.

 

[Ut_Airade_Attack]

I know im right...A booster told me..lol

A booster or someone in the ad department itself? It's always one of the two. Lol

What are you guys smoking? Gruden ain't comin here. He is making maybe $4-5M on MNF just talking NFL football which is his expertise. It would take $7-8M to get him to even consider coming to UT or any college football job. It would take another $2-3M for his asst. coaches and another $9M to buy out the current staff. The change could easily mean $15-20M when all is said and done. I could be off a couple of million, but I just don't believe the program will cough up that kind of money.

If you guys want another "up and coming" mid major coach, just keep yelling for Dooley's head.

 

[OrangeBlood4life]

Any real estate agents on here who can confirm the gruden lookin at a house or "buying" one.

I said a couple of days ago that out of all these people claiming to have inside news on this that you seemed to have the most credible info....At this point thats like being the tallest midget...But I do hope you're right.
