You feels better? Thats nice to see. I like VN. Let's stop this while we are sorta ahead. You started a "fight" (unprovoked mibd you) with me, and you got majorly outclassed by my humor. It's ok. Not like anyone will see this tomorrow. I promise you voltown won't quote these posts to show everyone how owned you got today.

You don't own anything. It just makes you feel better about yourself. My post count doesn't make me who I am. You seem like a good person. You just try to hard. Humor is a defense mechanisim. Anyone one with any psychology back ground will tell you that.

Lol. Whatever helps you sleep better every night. Go scroll over the last few pages. At this point I'm done. You posted a gif saying i am an attention whore on here, and then got clowned. Your responses have been weak incoherent drivel.

Btw. You always brag about how much beer you drink, and then allude to knowing the first thing about psychology. Too funny.

If you say so, It's the hard truth. You know it, I know it, and so does everyone else. I'm not trying to one up you. The gif was a joke to start with. You took offense after that! I prolly shouldn't have posted that, and I'm sorry.

Hahaha. I understand you backing off your gif you posted. Now I wanna see others in the Gruden thread agree with your accusation of me being a person that needs the world to revolve around me.



Any takers?

I am not one to get all fanatical about a coach that hasn't even been named yet. However, Jason La Confora, who is a credible source, seems to think it's a possibility. I really had two questions that were bugging me about this. The first was why would UT want him? Yes he is a big name hire but signing him does not guarantee victories. It may guarantee you a great signing class, filling the stadium next year, and national exposure. But that is about all you can hang your hat on for a coach that has never been successful at the college level. Keep in mind, he hasn't managed a game or a team since 2008. His record over his last 6 years of coaching was very sub par. He only made it to the playoffs twice and both of those were wild card match ups that the Bucs lost. In comparison, that's an awful lot like Fulmer's digression from the time he won his NC. The Gruden appeal comes more from his TV personality and not his coaching dominance. Dooley has a great TV personality but that didn't make him a great coach. Just something to think about.

My second question was, why would Jon Gruden come to Tennessee. Well that makes more sense than the latter. First off, Gruden obviously likes working with college students. You can see that in the ESPN interviews he has conducted with all the young QBs that are heading to the draft. You can't help but think that he feels confident in his ability to motivate and coach up young athletes. He knows that they respect and admire him which is quite a bit different from coaching the older players who tend to be spoiled and more vocal. Because of this, he probably believes he could be more successful coaching college which is why he is maybe considering coming to UT. The other reason I have is simply this... he has a sour taste in his mouth! For a man like Gruden who takes a lot of pride in his work, don't think for a second that he is ok with his legacy as a football coach. Even though he won a Superbowl, no coach wants to go out being asked to leave! They all want to go out winners. He may see the college game as more winnable. In the pro's, every fan expects getting to the playoffs. Right now at Tennessee, most would be happy with a couple SEC wins and a bowl win of some kind in the next 2-3 years. That alone would guarantee him some measure of success in his return to football. Now if he was taking over for a winning program, that might be a different story. That said, Gruden to Tennessee makes some sense. :good!:

Why Gruden?
1. Money. Ticket sales, etc will significantly increase.
2. Recruiting. Any recruit in the country who wants to play in the NFL would want to look at Tennessee if we have Gruden at the helm. High profile coach, fantastic resume and he knows what it would take to play in the NFL.
3. Experience. Has experience in the collegiate and NFL, played college ball, comes from football family. Winning a Super Bowl as a head coach is something I don't think (right now, if I am correct) any college coach has on their resume. He has been helping to coach his son's team in Tampa, along with MNF, his son is set to play college ball.
4. Competitive in the SEC. To compete against the best, we gotta have a coach that can compete and has the football knowledge to be successful on gameday. Gruden has that knowledge and can bring the staff to be successful in the SEC.
5. Fanbase. We want Gruden. People know Gruden. It would help unite the fanbase.
6. Good guy. Family guy, gets the University and the tradition and what would be expected of a coach and the culture at Tennessee. Would fit in well at UT.
7. Marketing. Nationally recognized football figure, would boost an even already global brand, The University of Tennessee and its football program.


Why Gruden to Tennessee?
1. Family. Has to help if the wife is on board. From the posts here, etc, sounds like that may be the case.
2. Taxes. No state income tax. Makes a difference depending on how his financial structure is.
3. Money. Sounds like UT is putting together a heck of a deal for him, Chancellor Cheek's announcement ($18M/6yr) is indicative of that.
4. Football Facilities. Some of the best in the country.
5. Control. Tennessee is ready to give him the keys to Neyland. Money and discretion for his coaching staff, working with admissions to get the best players on the field, etc.
6. Reasonable Expectations. UT fans don't expect a National Championship in 2013...we just want a bowl game...After the past 3/4 years, it would be an ideal place for a coach to know he will have time to build a great team, and have the support of a enthusiastic fan base behind him.
7. Pride. Tennessee's tradition and pagentry, from the Pride of the Southland Band, to running the Tee, to VolWalk, to Rocky Top, the Vol Navy, Peyton along with the history of great players and coaches the Rock and the countless things that make it what it is...all of these make it a special place to coach. The University of Tennessee creates that unique environment were you can build and leave a legacy. The great tradition we have at Tennessee compared with other schools, is certainly something special and something to be proud of.

Every post you have made after the one you attacked me for no reason leads anyone reading this to know that you aren't trying to win.
