Official Jon Gruden Thread X

[CMcEver]

But it has been reported by several sources that he has turned Arky down not once, but twice. Has anything been said about us?

Also, they've been on this since April, their AD said Gruden was not in the picture at that time, and said it was more of a fan choice than their choice.

The report about him turning down Arkansas was just a credible as jimmy saying talks have broken down today IMO.

Like the Oracle at Delphi except male and not in Delphi.

If that is so, we must assume that your info is nothing but drug induced rants.

Not in Delphi but in Hogland :lolabove:

I found your humor most pleasing in the above post. And the timing could not have been better. Well done. And Cheerio!

Timing is everything. So when people ask when Gruden will announce, the only logical response is "whenever he freaking feels like it.".
If what the OG's say is true, which I believe most of them are telling the truth, Gruden's driving the bus on this one and UT fans are just along for the ride.

Pretty sure Rucker knows something too... His GF tweeted earlier that being in a relationship with a sportswriter caused her to have a dream about Jon Gruden last night. Obviously he's talking to her about it.

The most shocking part..Rucker has a gf...sorry..THAT was rude...

What about Mort saying there is no chance or Arkansas to land Gruden?

Phew...pretty obvious that Junior high and High schoolers are out of school today, by the look of this thread.

Strong would be an A + hire

Yea i guess your right Strong would be able to recruit with sabin & miles & richt & be able to out scheme them on a weekly basis. Sorry i just dont see it but maybe im wrong

He also said he wasn't offered by them or anybody else. Can't have it both ways

I think the guy from 247 sports, Ryan Callahan, I think went into the most depth, saying he ignored their first offer and then turned down their last one. Brent Sobleski of ESPN said it was never serious between Arky and Gruden and Mort said Arkansas was never a player for Gruden...

You just listed a group of conflicting reports about Arkansas. Nothing credable just like jimmy here

The butthurt is strong this morning.

Negavols out in full force today

My response to them.

agreed. I was skeptical early on cause of our recent history of coaches. But seeing all of the OG's post and hearing their confidence in said info, has quashed my fears.

Until an announcement is made, listening to the local media for real news about the direction this is taking is an exercise in futility.

Mortensen saying it is credible

Can you give me the link? I could've sworn he only said it about Arkansas.

Haha... I know! She's actually kinda cute if in fact that's her in her profile pic.

 

[ACvol3]

If you don't mind my asking, which of the original OG's have said 100%?

Better question- when did I mention an OG? Or anybody from this thread for that matter?

 

[Velo Vol]

I'm not. I did a search on twitter for "Gruden" and her tweet popped up.

She must have a thing for Twitter, as he does.

So what.

He IS NOT going to coach at Arkansas. Period. It's not even worth discussing and has absolutely no relevance to UT.

I agree except for hubbs. If he says that gruden is completely out IMO the AD has leaked that to him so he can let the fanbase down easily and in time o give the hire a fair shot in the court of public opinion.

He would bring in top notch players on defense instead of loading up on all these WR's like we are in the damn Big 12.

We have 4* athletic Wr's to redshirt, while our secondary is still chasing Trey Burton. A TE.

That wasn't the context

 

[hep]

I think Gruden is the most likely candidate and it seems we have worked out a deal.

But, who is your second choice if it wasn't Gruden?

I say Jimbo Fisher.
