Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

You don't have a clue, friend. Did you see Bray hang up on Chaney?

IMO, Dooley let the players run over the coaches for too long, and that ultimately was his undoing.

Agree to disagree

 

[EZE]

I will say this. Hart has allowed this bunch, coaches and players, to make a mockery out of UT football.

This all day long, sad thing is with ceertain players he had no choice to let them play, they were the only ones on the roster

Never tell a emotional young man "you Suck!!!" After a traumatic night.
If you do and he's holding water you should except to get wet.




Just saying.

Slice, fans can be idiots. But it is an another example of how Bray can't handle adversity. You have to deal with it. Think about being a pro- they deal with that all the time. Just have to be better than that.

What an abomination! I have been a Vols fan for years and this was the most embarassing loss in the HISTORY of the program. Yes, worse than Wyoming 08. The national perception is that this program should be light years ahead of Vandy. Talent wise it probably is. Jon Gruden is a necessity in Knoxville the way I see it. He is the one to bring this proud, not once proud, program back to where it should be. IMO this unacceptable loss tonight will help the pursuit of Gruden and put him exactly where he should be. Where it all started and where he will bring UT back to a National Championship.

Would have been fine with me if they did it after MSU. That was a game that a well coached team on the rise wins. We lost by 10. Should have had an interim the following Monday.

I agree I can't believe I gave this bozo a chance.

This house is clear

 

[MWAVolfan]

Won't disagree. But any real head coach rolls with T.Bray in that situation. Good players find a way out of a slump. Benching Bray in the 2nd to last game of the season in a rivalry (which is pathetic that TN even acknowledges Vandy as a rival in the first place) game proves absolutely no point whatsoever.

Benching Bray effectively ended the game

I would agree with you if it were anybody but Bray. He is an emotional wreck and this isnt even close to the first time he folded. I cant wait until Bray is gone from Tennessee.

 

[Hyperion]

Alabama to the national title game. FML.

 

[volatil]

This announcement is a week late. Might have played for a bowl.

 

[FearlessFreep]

Really like the way Stanford plays

 

[Lexvol]

Conflicted. I almost hate Derek Dooley worse than I hate Lane Kiffin.

I think it is sad that in 3 weeks Dooley has gone from a coach in way over his head to the most hated man in East Tennessee. Didn't have to be that way, but it is.

 

[bcartervol98]

Oregon about to go down! 1 and 2.

Saban was born with a horseshoe in his ass, well two he obviously stole Dooleys.

 

[tnvols72]

looks like 1 & 2 going down tonight

 

[cutnitclose]

oh.... Oregon missed the FG.... Stanford can take them down right here.....

Could it be Bama/Georgia vs ND in the NC game..

/QUOTE ]Paducahvol wrote: thanks. just an announcement of the firing I assume? any guess on a timeframe for a coach to be hired?

within 2 weeks

That would point squarely at Gruden or possibly Petrino. Everyone else is still working I think. Right?

 

[EZE]

He better invest we'll after this he will be hard pressed to find a job.

Dude the guy is fired and the players knew it. Tough spot for everybody.

 

[crparker21]

A lot of new posters in the Gruden thread, Jake, Cooke, e.g., bruin, Sam, etc. Any of u here?

 

[dbarker]

Oregon is about to lose

 

[alwaysvol]

Atleast Bray hit the fan with the water. about the only thing he did hit tonight.

 

[cutnitclose]

Stanford fumbled... WTF

 

[Jake]

Good news....is that we never have to see Ole Orange Britches on our sideline...ever again. At this point I'm sure those feelings are mutual. It is bad that it all had to go down like this.

At least, no one has to ride the fence.....

 

[Hyperion]

Stanford recoverd. Alabama is so lucky.

 

[Godfatha]

This house is clear

Nice

 

[cutnitclose]

Talk about luck... They got it back
