Official Jon Gruden Thread XI

[playaut0785]

Tommorrow is a big day to watch. If hart is still on campus "making phone calls" then the gruden reality is very possible. If he is out and about then I think that's a very bad sign.

The only problem with this is going to be the 10000+ fake/trolling reports about where Hart and his plane is. And, if the reports aren't FOS, then they'll likely be shot down anyway.

Leakage tomorrow.

I can feel it in my plums.

Avatar bet?


Oh wait....

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

Oline will be back, Bray may stay, Def loses like 2 players. Should be great situation for Grude or any HC.

Wouldn't we want to lose more than 2 players from that defense? (joke)

As long as Sunseri is gone, I think we'll be alright.

 

[GmanTN]

:hi: off to Coasty...fine job sir!

 

[UTodd01]

Avatar bet?


Oh wait....

I still feel it.

 

[Coastypop]

In your honest opinion coasty is this a done deal with Gruden? Why is the media so adamant its not?

I think there is reason to believe the deal is set as far as an MOU... but I also think these contract issues can be sticky

I do not believe anyone is trying to mislead, but there are conflicting reports everywhere among the $$$ people. The AD is shut down and usual sources just don't know!

I believe the reason the media is so adamant is they think there is still a chance this could fall through.. and don't want to get caught with their pants down and also I think hart is hoping to make a big splash with this hire.

My biggest problem with the media is their smarmy attitude when they report 'it isn't happening'...

Why is it that I have the utmost confidence in the UT administration's ability to fark this up just like they've farked up everything in the football program up to this point....

Sometimes that exactly how i feel.

Even with the supporting cast, they just can't seem to get their chit together!

 

[Coastypop]

Well someone is going to need to take my place...wife is going nuts and I need to sign off

GRUDEN GRUDEN GRUDEN

 

[terrypedigo]

Here is what I've heard:

1. An agreement was reached two weeks ago
2. From the beginning Gruden wanted distance between the fire and the hire.
3. There are only a handful of people that really know what is happening.
4. Gruden has called several coaches about coaching with him at UT. Most of which have been covered in the Gruden thread.
5. Gruden really wants to be here.

Here is what I know:
1. UT has been dealing with Gruden since the spring.
2. Academic/financial issues between the AD and the administration have been addressed.
3. Dooley is gone.
4. There are some big boosters who still don't think Gruden is a possibility (found this out on Thanksgiving Day). One is a big spender, but not among those most discussed frequently on this board.


Here is what I think:
1. Dave Hart needs credit for the hire.
2. Even if things were signed, we have always been on Gruden's timetable.
3. If a deal is not signed by now, I doubt that it is Gruden.
4. I still think it is done and we will hear soon.
5. Most of the stuff linked from the AD including the coaching list, is bunk.

All that is just a bunch of BS so we all on here can be in for a big let down, Gruden will not come here, so we need to think of a proven winner on the college level instead of the NFL level, wish he would come but he wont, hope im wrong.:jpshakehead:

Amen to that

 

[MountainDooley]

I think Hart starts flying around and interviewing tomorrow

Thanks for the friend request Jackson. When I got it I thought to myself BOOM!

Interesting note from Rucker:

"We hesitate to even mention this because of the questions that could follow it — questions we can’t answer at this point, unfortunately — but we’ve heard now from multiple sources that UT athletic director Dave Hart has told several high-level boosters that they “won’t have to wait long” after Saturday’s win over Kentucky to have a replacement named.

As Bud Kilmer would say, "they're the dumbest smart people around."

Be forewarned. Someone recently joined with the handle 0ldVol75, the zero in place of an "o". So if you see a guy posting under that name, be cautious.

Interesting!

Maybe he was the rather small European fellow that kicked field goals, soccer style.
