Official Jon Gruden Thread V

[Orange Blazer]

That's fine and well on the Gruden part. That's not what we were discussing and a jab at me. No problem.


However, Dooley's ineptitude has been on display since year 1....or zero....or whatever.

No Jab at you. This is a "Gruden" thread.

 

[Coastypop]

Just having some fun. Stay safe in the coal mine!

Thanks for the encouragement .. :hi:

My apologies for my misinterpretation then.

And year zero consisted of the Chuck Smith circus. That was handles great.

I think JG gives us the best shot to recruit the players we need!! Outside of him I don't see much else...maybe stoops or chip Kelly but don't see much hope of either....so Gruden or bust!!!!!!

 

[VolFan32]

I'm 100% sure Gruden is coming. If it doesn't happen, and I'm not trying to give myself an out here, is if Cheek and/or Hart mess this up. Which I don't see being an issue when it gets down to crunch time.

 

[gordonr24]

I'd like to see Cheek gone.

 

[Orange Blazer]

My apologies for my misinterpretation then.

No worries. I officially admit Dooley is done. I want what is best for my Vols. I just don't think the administration will make the best decision on a new coach. Hope I'm wrong.

2000 his freshman year right?

Yes..You're correct..

Casey's first appearance was the LA Monroe game and they were inside the 20..His first career pass was a TD, but i don't remember the recipient of it...In fact I think he had 3 TD passes in that game and from there on out, I knew he was special.

 

[babyavi]

if they get rid of cheek, gruden has to be a go. shows how dead serious they are.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Time for change.

A number of good options other than gruden. This JG or bust stance makes no since to me

Donte Stallworth IIRC

This is one I can actually comment on with 100% certainty myself.... You are not the only the only one that wants him gone...

 

[Buffett Vol]

Agreed. Would be a huge sign that things are trending upward in the AD.

Do you have inside knowledge or you going of what our insiders on here are telling us? Just curious. Not trying to flame.

Just been busy and haven't had a chance to catch up on the thread.

like who Strong? JG would make little Saban look like Joker Phillips.

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

If Cheek is gone then I think something is definitely in the works. If he were to get the boot hypothetically, does that mean he's immediately out or does he fulfill the rest of his term (whatever that is)?

Anybody know?

 

[m1al]

I haven't been able to follow this whole mess very closely.. What is the deal with Cheek? I realize he is part of 'the good ole boy' network but why is he an obstacle to getting this done?

 

[babyavi]

Agreed. Would be a huge sign that things are trending upward in the AD.

i mean i have been a doubter, but if Cheek is gone, i think thats a very telling sign that Gruden is in.

 

[CWGvol]

I'm sure they will be coming around now their leader Hubbs is dogging Cheek. Hubbs is laying a foundation of future events to unfold.

Yeah, especially when you add this from Hubbs Friday.

Hubbs--


As a result of the unknown from Hart, there is really nothing new in regards to the GQ's only choice for coach, Jon Gruden. That doesn't mean Gruden's interest level or anything has changed, but it kind of has a holding pattern feel at this point. Nonetheless, and while it's impossible to tell because Gruden isn't publicly saying anything specific in regards to the Tennessee job, he does seem to have legitimate interest in the job and there are those close to Gruden who continue to believe that if a change is made and Tennessee has a competitive offer sheet (read: greater than $5 million), it might be too much for Gruden to pass up. There are others who know Gruden who don't think he would come to the college game. And others who believe if somehow he did end up at Tennessee, then his staff would have a Vol feel to it.

Not sure it is a must for Cheeks to be removed, but it would help the cause for sure...

he is immediately out depending on what the BOT determines his tenure to be.

Don't know the answer to when he would leave, but he is likely out regardless.
