Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

[FREAKIN ORANGE]

After Grudester is announced, I think the recruiting forum will blow up like this one. Cant freakin' wait. VB

 

[1world1love]

Heard same. RT @BFeldmanCBS: Wouldn't be completely shocked to see Jon Gruden take Tennessee job. Would be shocked to see him take Arkansas.

Thanks.

 

[BruinVol]

If your convinced, everyone should be. No offense.

Lol. Not convinced but getting there

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

He's just as happy as we are!

Underrated post,IMO.

 

[Buffett Vol]

Bcarter, what does Hart have to do to "ice the cake"? I'm assuming it's not much or very difficult.

 

[UTBasketball2]

Lol. Not convinced but getting there

That's still something, you've been the most cautious here.

 

[Aesius]

Will be around SECCG timeframe imo.

I want it announced during halftime of the SECCG game. Especially if Bama wins it.

 

[Godfatha]

I can't wait to see everyone's reaction when this goes down. I'm just gonna sit back, drink a beer (or 20) and laugh as the rest of the SEC soils itself in terror. Go Vols.

I like it.

From Error to Terror!

[Weee'rre Baaccckk]

I feel like he's probably on flirting with Arky for leverage to get more $$$$$

 

[Doolittle 1720]

We need to get something out there as soon as possible for recruiting. Getting a great coach like Gruden would allow us to trade up from most of dooley's recruits (diamonds in the rough) to quality SEC type players. At least the new coach would not be required to keep dooley's substandard class.

That's one way to kill their celebration.lol:

Dooley is gone Now the motions have to be gone through. UT will say they are looking for a HC. They will interview 5 to 7 Coaches because thats the rules one of them will be African American per NCAA Rules they will speculate on Media and radio shows this one and that one is coming all for smoke screen. After Gruden is done with his last broadcast in MNF in Dec he will be announced HC of the VOLS. It's a done deal sign on the dotted line Gruden 2013!!!!!!!!!!!

Just come up with 5mil. per year over something like 6-8 years. No biggie:loco:

 

[Vollen For Life]

And people wonder why they let Dooley dangle.. See what has happened in the media since 11:00 a.m.

 

[EaglesVols91]

Tennessee seems like a more logical fit because Tennessee doesnt suck donkey balls.

If Gruden came for college ball, it would be for Tennessee. No way in hell would he choose Arkansas over us. There's a 0% chance of that happening.

 

[ACvol3]

The insiders here have said all along either around Halloween or Thanksgiven... I say that was calling it

They said this before Hubbs.... by the way

I wouldn't.. And the ones I remember said after uk game no matter what.. But that was after a few (48hrs) struck out earlier in the season on their dates.

 

[MWAVolfan]

from GoVolsXtra...

"Hart, who has been AD for a little more than one year, is expected to conduct a close-to-the-vest search with little outside input."

Wonder how true that really is.

I don't believe there are any NCAA rules stipulating who/how many/what race of candidates you have to interview.

NFL, yes. NCAA, no.

 

[BruinVol]

Stop being so skeptical lol. The money has done its job, now Hart just has to ice the cake.

If money has been agreed upon what is left for hart to do???

 

[Voltrapnbama]

So is Arkansas a real threat now and maybe both sides have had good info?
I dont wanna go back through the whole thread, I just saw where Bruce said he wouldnt be shocked if he took our job.
Recap please?

 

[UTPJ]

lol I thought it was really him! That is even better! :birgits_giggle:

Yup it's me...got most everything from a thrift store and my older brother (who is a UT alum) happened to have some of his old white jeans from the 80's. My bro took me to my first game in 1986 when I was 9 he was 18 and we were in the student section and it hooked me for life... Good stuff

 

[1world1love]

Jon Gruden reportedly linked to Tennessee job - NFL.com

And so it begins.

I actually thought it would take until 6pm for the national media to jump on it.

I slightly disagree, I do not see us waiting 29 days for an announcement. I could see UT announcing that he is coach and allowing him to finish the year at MNF while also taking on head coach responsibilities. However i think that us thinking an announcement is going to take 29 days is a little outlanding for coaches, recruits and current players.

This is exactly why things were done behind the scenes.

NFL, yes. NCAA, no.

there might not be but I thought they passed it a couple years ago that one African American coach had to be interviewed my bad if I am wrong
