Official Jon Gruden Thread VI

Sounds that way. At least be around the team and start recruiting.

I would guess watching practice as a close observer and recruiting not actually coaching the game.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I thought so as well but that would be very odd. Anybody remember that happening in recent memory?? I don't

I dont remember anything like that.

I think its more likely to name an interim to coach the bowl and let the new coach start recruiting.

That's going to stir the nest. I may need to delete it?

When did you play for the Vols?

 

[BruinVol]

Sorry Bruin, I spoke too soon. I was thinking of Dickey coaching UF in a bowl game, but he coached us then went to UF.

I feel certain it's been done a few times in the last 10 years but I can't recall any specifically.

Agreed.

I am nearly certain that OHS had a full staff plus UM recruiting during the bowl prep. Am I correct???

I know they had an interim but it was all year and I am sure they filled the other coaching slot or the year making them full

What's going on up in hereere? Anybody else drinking and wanna talk about 98'?

Then DD could be allowed to coach the bowl game and the new coach hit the recruiting road just like OHS?

True...:good!:

I was thinking those were special circumstances with the NCAA trouble and all

Drinking, but much more concerned with 13'

 

[BruinVol]

They got a waiver to allow um to recruit. As I said I think 10 other coaches handled the bowl prep. The NCAA issues wouldn't have helped them get that waiver

Who else is following the "Bring John Gruden to Tennessee" on facebook?

If you're not...get on that sh!t!

Oh ok I thought it did.

This

Oh ok I thought it did.

I am going off memory so don't hold me to it but SBV seems to be agreeing with it

They didn't have a bowl game when he took the job I am nearly certain.

Yeah, me too. Miss all the 90's.

Wrong, he coached them to a independence bowl win. Would link but am on mobile.

JMO, but it seems to me that if Dooley has really lost the team, as many have indicated today, then our best chance at a bowl game is to can him now. I don't see how him staying our HC increases our shot at a bowl one bit. Several posters have hit on what I think the best course would be, firing Dooley now and letting the players focus on finishing their season with wins instead of saddled with all the hotseat distractions.

Not to mention, Dooley obviously is phoning it in at this point.
