Thanks. This is done. I won't post for a year if I'm wrong. I'll gladly come in for 1 week and take my lumps from people too.

So you dont think it wilk happen. Got it

I don't know. There are legs to this story and both parties are interested, but if he has already signed, it would have been announced and he would be at UT did get started on recruiting. Maybe that will happen tomorrow

 

[GetEmVols]

Please explain to me...if Gruden wants 51 million for 8 years, that is 6.375 million a year, and wants to hire Raheem Morris for 1.5 million per year and hire Chad Morris for 1.5 million a year...that is 9.375 million just going to 3 coaches.

Now the "insiders" say big boosters have agreed to pay 9 million for next coaching staff...

EXPLAIN to me how the other coaches are to be paid OR are we just going to have 3 coaches...

If we hire gruden I will have my wife work the street corner to help pay for the cause. VFL!

Jon Gruden 'committed to ESPN' amid Tennessee, Arkansas coaching rumors - SBNation.com

Very old.

The Tampa Bay contract isn't stopping him from coaching anywhere if he decided to coach. The reason he didn't coach the past 2 years was because he didn't want to move because his son was still in high school. That came directly from Gruden.

Gruden interviewed for the Miami job 2 years ago FWIW

You and I are not going to agree and I don't care who he has interviewed with he didn't take the job... He also had talks with ND and I am sure others as well.

IT IS A DONE DEAL.... you can believe it if you want to, and if you don't I will respect your right to be wrong.

 

[AllVolinGA]

He makes 1.5 million there. That's why. Also they are notorious for underpaying their coaches.

Thanks EG. I did not know they were that cheap out there.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Rumor that Al Golden is leaving Miami. How good would it be for Arkansas to land that POS? Enjoy obscurity, whoever lands that turd

What's wrong with Al Golden? Every account that I've ever heard states that he's a quality person.

Oh, yeah!

Do the Bender!

 

[orangepeopleeater]

I think it's Gruden, but he would be a great backup plan!

If it wasn't Gruden ... then what was the 3 years 18 million for?

 

[Buffett Vol]

You into kraft beers? You need to hit Colorado up!

I just got a kegorator a couple weeks ago, so I've been enjoying getting to try new beers. Been a fu few weeks from what I can remember of it.

Didn't come directly from him and it's old. Try again.

Old news.

 

[SlipKidVol]

Just my opinion... all the different reports from different media about this coaching list or that coaching list that Hart has helps the AD appear that it has conducted a coaching search instead of already having Gruden in the bag

Solid endorsement.

If Boro is getting my hopes up for nothing, Sharmin cant make enough toilet paper to keep me supplied while I roll his yard every day

Believe Boro. I have never led you astray, brothaman!

 

[Obsessed]

Is it safe to assume CJG is in East Tennessee for the holidays?

That would work with latest reports of Gruden being a vol. sign papers while in town???

Just thinking out loud

Pics please

 

[captain chaos]

Of course they are not restricting him... he draws a check from them... If he accepts a coaching position he will no longer recieve the money...geeeeeee

i highly doubt a guy fired with 3 years left...09, 10, 11...will agree to a payout of contract over a term longer than the expiration of the contract. ive looked up and down on the net, there is no evidence of this.

Awesome! Usually right before a coach accepts a job you always hear "he remains committed to his current job." Saban was committed to the dolphins and Meyer was also committed to ESPN.

 

[m1al]

Gruden, like most in the top of the coaching profession, is a fierce competitor and as such has an internal need that will not be met in a commentary booth.
Coaches of his caliber or perceived caliber are very seldomly hired to maintain the status quo nor do they pursue those types of jobs with limited challenges. If you think Gruden is "happy" with his current assignment, then I am glad to know others are helping to make this hire.
This guy is driven by competition. Money is important but being at the top is what motivates this guy. I don't want this to come off the wrong way but ego goes beyond what is being discussed here. Healthy respect of his ability to motivate others.

This... Excellent description..

Gruden is maniacal.. He is EXACTLY what this team, this program needs.. He is going to scare the sh!t out of some high school boys... haaaaa...

GO VOLS... :rock:
