Official Jon Gruden Thread VII

[dont114]

Leonard Little asked this question on Twitter about an hour ago, and I'd like to know the answer, too. Did Hart hire Nick Saban?

No. Saban was hired in 2007. Hart was hired in 2008.

You think? I am a little miffed if it is actually true... I was told it would be yesterday (the 14th) not today. (the 15th).. :birgits_giggle:

Shockwaves.

 

[volatil]

Just walked through Publix with my UT sweatshirt on and a guy walks up and said "have you heard about Gruden?"

Hell Yes I've heard!!!!!!!

 

[phowell23]

Wonder what Ainge will say on his show tomorrow?

 

[voldawgforever]

Solid effort Jay.....been a pleasure getting to know you a little during all this.

Everybody keep in mind, this does not change the timeline.....everything looks to stay the same on that front. This is reflective of the MOU we discussed earlier.

Try and control the moodswings in here from here on out. LOL.

Mood swings. WHAT mood swings??

Are you saying WE HAVE MOOD SWINGS??

Because we don't!!


We don't.

do we?

Might be time to dust off the corn jar.

I'm gonna crack open a new one...this jar is out!!!

 

[UTodd01]

I really really think Bray,CP, and JH along with at least 3 on the O line are gone sadly. I do not see this changing.

You don't think Gruden coming would change that?

Regardless, it might be better to start all over. Gruden would have us up and running and competing for championships in two years tops.

Peterman and Worley are worthy.

What do some of you expect out of gruden in his first and second years would it be fair to believe he could pull in 8 wins 1st yr and 8-9 w bowl 2nd yr please only give positive feedback I wanna see what some of you think they can accomplish in a short period time on ROCKY TOP.

Well-coached, disciplined football. Better recruiting. An excited fan base. You have those things, the wins will come.

Oh duckman you poor clueless bastard

 

[volatil]

Oh duckman you poor clueless bastard

Have you been trollin the pigs???

 

[UTodd01]

Wonder what Ainge will say on his show tomorrow?

The news will be leaked tomorrow.

I can almost smell it.

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

I really hope Patterson stays if Gruden is hired. He could be a top 5 draft pick in Gruden's offense.

They're saying he couldn't come back if he wanted to. Academics.

Bray should take a step back and reflect if Gruden is hired. I understand why he would leave, but if he goes to the wrong team his career might never get off the ground properly. Either way, I think UT will be fine.

 

[1world1love]

No.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[Buffett Vol]

Holy sh*t this is actually happening. I'm beside myself

 

[jos3ywales]

I can't keep up pages just keep coming

We haven't had that in over 10 years on the hill.

Sup doods? Been lurking since the beginning of the Gruden threads, just trying to keep my excitement in check until.... BOOM!
Can't wait to start the Gruden era of Tennessee football!

 

[Chilmonty]

Oh duckman you poor clueless bastard

^LOL snorted beer outta my nose dangit VM14!!!!!

Guys, I didn't do anything that Lex, Boro, or OV have done. They called it long before me. I just wanted to vent many years of frustration. The guys that worked to get the info (not me) are the ones worthy of praise. They called it before me. Long before. I've been afraid to say it until tonight. I'm just a regular dude that is fortunate to have some good buddies. Like I said, it's been called for a while. It took their courage and effort tgathering info to give me the confidence to post that.

Well said! I think my first inkling was when someone on twitter said that SBV had said something. I've been reading the board non-stop since - I hardly ever post but been on here a long time, knew some names I trusted (Boro, OV & some others that I can't think of right now because I'm so excited!) & found some new ones along the way (longtime members with high post counts who didn't post crazy stuff). Thanks to all for offering this long-suffering Vol fan a safe haven in the midst of yet another crappy football season! Jay, your post was epic & damn, I think I might shed a tear, too!
I will say, karma is a *****... I should never have laughed at that drunk Bama woman who hung all over Saban when he got off the plane... gonna make sure my family doesn't let me go to the airport!

 

[rocktopper16]

When gruden gets named our coach we are gonna have a ton of bandwagon jumpers on board. Just like to say I blead orange and white before Grud

 

[VolMaster14]

Have you been trollin the pigs???

I've almost forgotten what it feels like. 2001 seems so far away.
