Official Jon Gruden Thread V

[Vol4ever]

From what I understand, 2 things are on the table.

1. Cheek plays ball
2. He's gone.

Would love to witness him being told that!

 

[cutnitclose]

Truth. He has 4 losing seasons out of 5 completed as a head coach - and this season could go either way.

I believe this will be know as "the moral victory" season...k:

 

[JayVols]

I don't think I can immerse myself in the football forum once this is all over. Too irrational in their blind support for Doolz. Can we keep the Gruden thread going in perpetuity?

Never, ever let another individual silence you. If you have conviction, let it be known even if the world is against you.

 

[Oldvol75]

No offense but there is a huuuge problem with stories like this, in my view. If everything is hush, how do so many people who post on a message board have sources that break the silence? It makes no sense to me.

To be fair, nothing about this program makes sense to me anymore so it might be par for the course...

Have you always kept every "secret" you have been told?

 

[volatil]

Punished a player that had a death in his family.

Did not punish a player that got into sideline altercation with a coach.

His last name is Dooley.

His Mom wont stop calling radio stations.

Said his first year didn't count.

Not being able to count cost him the LSU game.

 

[Leopold Stotch]

Yep. Coaches want to get athletes in school. UT's admission requirements are now higher than anyone in conference sans possibly Vandy, iirc.

Florida.

You can't appreciate the wins if you don't suffer the losses. It's all about scars and the process.

Edit: /sarcasm

Either way Dooley sucks. this season has been lost weeks ago.

Are you referring to the Omari Phillips deal?

LMAO...Don't beat around the bush Jay... Just tell it like it is....

That gets me in dutch from time to time....especially with the wife.

 

[orangesoda]

could it be that cheeks since he is from fla. you think he could of raised the standards to hurt Tn ? i mean it did hurt Tn in recruiting.cheek has no ties to UT.
UT needs to rid themselves of these Bama,Fla and Saban trees.We are the real UT

Makes you say ummm...don't it! Never have understood how the jackass got hired here!

 

[tnvols72]

its all about wins/loses and he has more loses than wins.you have been listening to Dooley too long.you can appreciate the loses all you want but everybody else is tired of them and Dooley.

 

[volatil]

Said you won't have UT to kick around anymore prior to the season full of kicking.

Kicked a FG while getting hammered by Bama.

Allegedly

That's a bit Oliver Stoneish, but having said that, it's not the first time it's been said.

 

[gcbvol]

Either way Dooley sucks. this season has been lost weeks ago.

Agreed. I don't mean this as an indictment on him personally, but the man is a flat out loser as a football coach.

Not saying that everything is true, I think it is a lot like this in most types of business out there....

Decisions are made behind the scenes, suppose to be hush hush and then rumors start spreading... Then the next thing you know the rumors come true at least some part of them do.....

 

[Volgrad98]

Check, Check....Reroute, Reroute. See my post again.

when I first heard about it,thats what came in to my mind.

 

[MWR]

Honestly, the Gruden threads remind me of what VN was like when I first joined. Fun times. Debating the debacle that is derek dooley in FF is an exercise in futility.

I agree, VN has become a place where more & more posters are hostile, bitter and argumentative. This is about the only thread I have posted in here in quite some time.

Get Gruden or not - and I sure hope we do - I've enjoyed the Gruden threads.

 

[JayVols]

Some would say the only reason is . . . money.

Bottom line: UT is quickly becoming irrelevant in the landscape of college football (halfway there already).

Irrelevancy is worse than death, imo.

 

[tnvols72]

Agreed. I don't mean this as an indictment on him personally, but the man is a flat out loser as a football coach.

he sucks lol

 

[volatil]

Backed out of the UNC game making us look like a bunch of wusses.

Constantly blames everyone but the right person.

Publicly admonishes players.

Hurts players draft stock by saying they aren't first round material.

 

[GmanTN]

Big Jim Haslam don't care for Cheeks

 

[JayVols]

Florida.

Thanks. I knew we were at the top.
