Official Jon Gruden Thread IX

[tastycar]

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

Is that one of those 'dooley is a quality person' slams against golden? Low blow

 

[UTodd01]

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

It would be pretty appropriate to assume that to say the least lol

 

[tvols75]

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

Apparently you don't know who Al Golden is.

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

Totally agree.

Mora would be about the best consolation prize if we don't land Gruden.

Petersen would be my 2nd choice after Gruden but I'd be just fine with Mora. Get a big buyout and make sure he sticks around.

 

[rkvdg]

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

thats for harts and cheeks buy out after we fire plan b

 

[StlCardinals2618]

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.

This thread is really similar to Grudenville. I just don't want vol fans to have the mentality Grude or Die if he doesn't come. The new coach won't stand a chance no matter how good he is. I'm praying I'm wrong, Gruden is the perfect coach to unite the fanbase, but its not done. It may get done, but its not now.

I picture a recruiting trip for Gruden being that he will rename your dog, take a bite out of your couch, and leave shirtless.

Apparently you don't know who Al Golden is.

No, I do....another Chizik, another Dooley, another......losah

 

[RocEtop10uhsee]

I have apologized to boro, dto and prob jay. This is my question though...with a lot of reports saying hart cheek and maybe a couple others knowing. How is it that u guys know? Jw

 

[SaluteToTheHill]

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.

You should look at the home brew thread in the pub section and check out the one I built.

Connections other than the AD.

AD guys got screwed during this process.

 

[Buffett Vol]

Fav style?

I've been drinking IPAs a lot recently, although the last one I had in it was a Brooklyn Brown Ale, which I enjoyed very much.

 

[Coastypop]

I may get you to do some avi work for me if you would allow me the honor. You do good work. Coasty will have to update his rock picture tho....ha.

easy now jay....

 

[LifeisO&W]

people who are saying that if Gruden were a done deal it would be announced already.

Well, why would it? Dooley was officially fired on Sunday. That was only 4 days ago.

This will be announced at what the UT people and Gruden people, deem an appropriate time.

 

[captain chaos]

coasty pop i would think the buying out of his espn gig is whats taking the most time

 

[SCowlsVOL]

I pray its not us.

 

[BeecherVol]

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.

:hi:

 

[ab333]

When all this breaks the outside world, officially...I think it's important to maintain respect and lead those that are disrespectful to people that hve been accurate in the past on many many topics in VN.

They are really good sources of information and I for one appreciate any and everything they have brought to VN...and hopefully will in the future.

If any morons out there start flaming...think before you speak and start trashing the only people you'll ever know that have the scoop!!

Just sayin...respect!!

Well said bro. Let us remember we all want the same thing..return to glory not to gloat over brothers and sisters

I picture a recruiting trip for Gruden being that he will rename your dog, take a bite out of your couch, and leave shirtless.

I like to think of it more as...

He arrives at the recruits home.

Gruden: Can you make me a sandwich? Thanks.

Eats sandwich while looking at the recruit and his parents.

Gruden: I'll see you in fall.

Leaves.

 

[tvols75]

No, I do....another Chizik, another Dooley, another......losah

It's fine to say you wouldn't prefer him as a coach, but to say he is a POS is a bit pathetic.

 

[utvol372]

No, I do....another Chizik, another Dooley, another......losah

That time you indicated you know nothing about football with one statement.

See the state of Temple Football, when he arrived.

 

[BruinVol]

Asked this before but didn't get an answer.


Has Deerpark said anything about a release being possible on the 30th instead of a presser which he said isn't going to happen due to staff being in ATL???


I can see a release being what we get until MNF is over and Deer is golden when it comes to media issues surround the athletic department

The appropriate time is right now. Recruiting is going down the drain and Early Enrollees officially sign in a month. Every day matters in building a relationship with these recruits and keeping the current commits.

 

[tastycar]

I pray its not us.

Ikr....I can't imagine being any more obscure than we are right now....until the grunouncement

That is pretty epic.
