Official Jon Gruden Thread IX

[VolMaster14]

5 Things all Vol Fans want in their head coach

1) Love for the university
2) A winning record and has won big in the past
3) A coach with a vast knowledge of X's and O's and how to pass that knowledge to players
4) A coach who is known to recruits
5) A coach that hates to lose and demands a players very best on the field.

All 5 sound like Jon F'n Gruden to me!

 

[Jake]

Exactly.

I've been telling everyone that all day.

I never get my OG credit.

I love you man!!!

 

[Escape Goat]

Translation:

I know he's coming but I'm scared he will back out at the last minute making me look like a dumb broad and/or I like my cushy job.

I dont thinks so, but maybe. Would be fine by me.

Not to disrespect Skeeter because I have followed him in the recruiting forum, but why in the heck does anyone think Jim Mora Jr would want to leave Ucla? That just makes no sense to me. 2ndly, that would really push recruiting back. Just my thoughts because we're getting a Gruden.

Mora makes very little at ucla and they cant afford to pay him what UT or just about any other school can.

I thought it was interesting that He told me he was NOT in the office and Boro reported it at same time and moved uptime table.

If I was AD and wanted to keep things quiet, I would do it while everyone else is out of the office as well

JUST MY THOUGHTS

 

[UTodd01]

I love you man!!!

Love you too brother. Lol

Nothing but a long term contract with ESPN and money from Tampa....

Get your facts right before you post.... :banghead2:

gruden only had 3 years remaining on his contact at tb when fired.

Jon Gruden fired by Tampa Bay Buccaneers after 7 seasons - ESPN

 

[SaluteToTheHill]

Well..as I've stated, not fond of Gruden in the slightest, but he has my support none the less.

Here's hoping he leads us back to the promised land.

if we had down votes you would get one.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Purposely haven't posted here for awhile. Didn't want to come in and say "told ya so." BUT...... Told ya so.

Just got off the phone with Boro and he knows all about it and several others have heard now too.

Glad to have all the rest of the folks join the original Grudenites. OV, Jay, Beecher, Boro, and bcarter.

Tick tock buddy

I get your sentiment, but I don't believe he said Mora was interested. He was just saying Hart was interested in him and had a date for contacting UCLA.

I would be less surprised if we hired Fulmer, than if Mora left UCLA to come here.

 

[Escape Goat]

Thanks EG for posting what she actually said! :thumbsup:

No problem. I didn't hear it live, clay replayed it at 5:07, and I heard it then. Listening to her, I think she is getting nervous she is gonna lose that bet.

 

[tenn_opie]

Loud noises!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[VolMaster14]

I know. It would suck to have a guy having that much success.

Dude is having an amazing first season! If anyone thinks Mora can't coach, they don't know da foosball!

Lol, Brent Hubbs just said that nothing his holding Gruden back. He could get out tomorrow and become the coach if he wanted.

Lets look at the similarities. Meyer called one game a week for ESPN, Gruden calls one game a week for ESPN. Yet Meyer got out when he wanted, but Gruden can't?

Tampa Bay is not restricting Gruden from becoming the coach tomorrow either.

 

[NEO]

one thing is for certain...who are about to find out which posters are connected with the new regime.

 

[Coastypop]

you can never say the word educated and hyams in the same .

After our Kiffin experience, I'm not sure it would be good karma for us to "Kiffin" UCLA. Besides, we're gettin' Gruden and that's Grudenough for me.

 

[RockCityVol]

Posted here a few times. I have a family member within the AD. Primarily with football, basketball and oddly baseball.

NO talk at thanksgiving dinner about TN football. All the family has been warned.

As I stated before, Wednesday a week ago was a big day. Trail is like the antarctic circle after last Wednesday.

It is impressive how quick the AD leaks have been fixed. Others proclaim they know! I hope what they are posting is correct. I really hope so.

I look forward to Saturdays game and hope the CHUCKY chant is often and loud.

We need to make sportscenter with the statement. Plus, Hart needs to hear all of us.

Happy Holidays Vol Fans!
Keep believing; I am!

Did they negotiate a buyout over time?

 

[JayVols]

This is Fantastic news!

I would even say D-lightful news!
