Official Jon Gruden Thread IV

[mrorange211]

Fix your meter friend.

I was hoping you were joking

 

[Wilson27]

Yeah, Swain and Treece have me thinking about choice #2 and #3. Disheartening to hear them say the things they have said today...

What did they say other than they don't think he will come? Anything to back it up?

 

[Hyperion]

Just found out Gruden is a Ron Paul Supporter. Now I really like him.

As a big fan of Dr. Paul, it warms my heart that Gruden is also able to see solutions to big picture problems.

Damn, this has to come through or I'm going to be crushed.

 

[Volballfan]

I know all of the insiders keep saying the list of potential coaches is impressive and the next two names after Gruden would be home run hires as well, but can anyone give us a hint at who the others are?

I have heard Pete Carroll, Mike Gundy, and Bobby Petrino all mentioned and shot down as potential candidates. I am just trying to piece together what other two guys would also be considered home run hires.

I have been told by a pretty big booster that according to his info, JH CK, and CP are very high on the short list. That being said, I haven't seen the actual list, so it is second hand info at best. Hint, JH, CK and CP are all west of the Mississippi river lol.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

From what I can tell, no one has given those names. It's all relative as to if they are home run hires or not. Some might think Gundy would be a home run hire, but I wouldn't.

I like Gundy but I don't think he would be a homerun hire, maybe a solid hire he would be.

Not a fan of the Constitution, eh?

Not a fan of American military strength, eh?

In the very very unlikely event the Gruden deal falls through I would not dismiss Pete Carroll from the list, IF he wants to get out of the NFL as rumored.

I do not think at this point Petrino is a serious consideration even as a possible last resort. Too bad too, I think he would be in my top 4 or 5 choices if it were up to me.

 

[mrorange211]

Agree. Good hire, but not what we need to make the huge impact we desire.

 

[volfan4evr]

Don't remember which insider it was, but didn't one of them give us a hint last night? The hint was two names west of the Mississippi,one being a college HC and the other an OC in the NFL..I have an idea of the two names but can't be anywhere near 100% sure of course.

Smokey, that's just too cryptic of an answer. No names so it's up to us to speculate.

In my case, simply not a fan of meaningless, unconstitutional, unwinnable perpetual war that results in inflation and more debt.

 

[Wilson27]

Not a fan of spending out the arse for things we don't need. Military spending could be cut big time and we would still be by FAR the most powerful military in the world but back to Gruden...

 

[voldawgforever]

enlighten us....

Basically saying Gruden is Superbowl crazy, and he's not coming to UT. More likely to Dallas/Philly/ or some other possible openings in the NFL

I haven't seen anything to indicate Carroll wants out of the NFL. I don't doubt it as he certainly proved himself on this level. It would be interesting to see what kind of staff he'd put together considering much of his previous group is with Lane Kiffin right now.

Completely agree with you man. I agree with his stance on war, just not on cutting the military budget.

I would like them to show me an interview where he says anything that shows he is "Super Bowl crazy".

I assumed you'd like Ron Paul considering the plethora of degrees you hold.

 

[VolFan32]

Fact is, no one in the media knows what's going on. Only consistent things we're hearing are from Hubbs and Basilio, and a lot of their stuff is matching up.

Nope.

 

[volfan411]

Some have rumored that Bob Stoops may be looking for a change. It has been said that Oklahoma has not upgraded their facilities as was promised. This is a rumor.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Smokey, that's just too cryptic of an answer. No names so it's up to us to speculate.

Might as well.

 

[mrorange211]

I'd assume that you would know that I wouldn't like Paul considering the plethora of degrees I hold. I guess I continue to assume too much in the Gruden thread.

 

[volfan4evr]

I like Pete Carroll as a coach, just not for this region. His ties are to the west coast, and I'd think that would be where he would want to stay....JMO

Question: What are the "consistent things" we're hearing from Hubbs and Basilio?

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Completely agree with you man. I agree with his stance on war, just not on cutting the military budget.

My last post on the matter since this is not the politics forum, but you are confused and thus countradicting. This should help, direct quote from Paul

When asked about my intention to cut the U.S. defense budget, I am always quick to clarify that I want to cut military spending, not defense. I want America to be the most strongly defended nation in the world, but I oppose our current foreign policy that stretches our troops thin across the globe so we can play world policeman. This foolish endeavor costs us dearly in lives, and it has become far too expensive to sustain.
