Official Jon Gruden Thread X

[GmanTN]

I'm in Middle TN. There is a military gun show going on right now in Cool Springs. Can't go because I'm headed to my cabin. Deer hunting tomorrow.

What gun do you use for deer hunting?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

They already know he won't be there It's not like he just isn't going to show up for work.

Has the decision officially been made that he will be hired before Monday. If not, he can't just tell them on Sunday or Monday that he has another gig. That won't fly. It will piss the ESPN brass off even more.

I'm looking to make that my next purchase, although I may just wait until Christmas to get it. I've heard great things about the XDs

Xds are great! I have two XD 3.8s and an xd9 sub compact for one of my daily carry guns.

 

[bigmac]

And Gruden is an ESPN rock star....and has been totally AWOL at ESPN this week. To the best of my knowledge. No one on air has even mentioned him in passing.....

 

[Obsessed]

I have the XDM-9 5" model. Shoots very nice!

This!!

I miss mine. Will be next pistol I purchase

They're required to contact four total coaches. We were told that these were the other 3.

Don't you think maybe, just maybe Cheek can waive a policy requirement like this?

As for legal requirement of posting the job, don't you think maybe, just maybe the Governor could decide if this is a technical violation that won't be prosecuted.

So has anyone put flowers in front of gruden's property yet?

Love me nots

 

[BigOrangeD]

I think so. I need to get my aim better at 25 yards, standing, with a short barrel subcompact.

A little practice and you will.

Another insider, that just now shows up in Gruden X?

Sorry. Not an insider. Just saying I'm a believer that this is more of a possibility than I would've thought this morning when I woke up. That's all I meant. Tried to be clear about it.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Did you guys miss the PTI thing the other day where they were talking about Gruden leaving off camera?

ESPN removes reference to Jon Gruden leaving from PTI broadcast | ProFootballTalk

Yes, I know all about that. However, a week notice is better than a two day notice. He can't keep going on a week-to-week basis with ESPN depending on when he's accepting a job. It's quite obvious that he's leaving because ESPN has never issued a statement about his commitment level before this round of coaching carousal season.

I don't see how tomorrows game would influence an announcement. If anything, it would bring a bigger crowd if it was announced.

Agreed.

Don't take it wrong. Stress is getting to all true Vol fans. LOL

He was on Mike and Mike via telephone breaking down the Thanksgiving games.

They've likely known about this for at least a few weeks.

 

[yrock777]

BabyVol couldn't have summed it up better. I feel the same way.

If I am wrong I will never offer any info again lol. With that said, I am confident I am not wrong.

I wish you would call and tell Jimmy Hyams how dumb he is! Just the tone in his voice he thinks that he knows everything about everything! GOOD GRIEF I can't stand that dude!

Ok....i missed that...cant watch every minute of ESPN....

 

[MFL]

Way too many people over analyzing this.

Here's what you need to know, then you can figure out what you believe:

This process began many weeks ago.
The AD is not driving this process.
Money will not be a limiting factor if they have the right guy on the hook.
Boosters and Trustees will not trust this hire to an AD that has been here for 13 months. Particularly after the Hamilton debacle.
Money for the buyout/hire did not come from the AD.
Current AD personnel will not be allowed to be a hindrance in getting a deal done.

Believe what you want.

Only thing you say I could disagree with is money not a limiting factor. It would seem that his agent could ask a price unrealistic and the deal could die. In my opinion that's maybe whats going on. I do think he wants to come just because he has not said no. I would not think he would want to insult folks in Knoxville with his wife's connection.
