Official Jon Gruden Thread XI

:salute:

Thanks!

The attendance at the Miami home opener should be all you need to know about Golden. He is not the right guy for UT.

My God that attendence is so sad....Miami used to be such a proud program.....I can't ever see UT with Neyland Stadium looking like a Gost town like the Canes

If Petrino lands at Auburn you can bet they will contend right away...I wish we would not be so stubborn and go for him if Gruden fails.

I think Auburn would be lucky to land Randy Sanders with the NCAA digging into them again.

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

Agreed. People would forget all about his "issues" as soon as we started beating people.

By issues, do you mean lying to his employers and leaving a dumpster fire at every place he's coached in recent memory?

 

[orangesoda]

I hate the guy. But you're right ... Auburn would be scary instantly.

Don't think so....NCAA is knocking at auburns door!

 

[Air_Force_Vol27]

I'm gonna call BS on that photo I'm pretty sure I watched Peyton play KC today.

End sarcasm

HC- Fulmer
OC- Jim Chaney
DC- John Chavis
QB-WR- Tee Martin
RB- Jay Graham
OL- Sam Pittman
DL- "Let Chavis Pick It"

You guys can fill in the rest of the Coaches... Bring in a star studded cast to surround the HC... Only then can we win...

You guys know it and I know it.. You can bring in any Coach in the nation.. And he will NOT win without the best Coordinators.. Then bring the best recruits.. Now we are talking about winning...

General Neyland quoted that the Head Coach of any football team is only as good as his supporting cast and players... Come on folks, we are VFL.. and we are a family.. I don't really care who the next Head Coach is, but he had better have some good Coordinators or we will be right back here in three years just like today discussing the same ole same ole...
I kinda like this.

It beats the hell out of hiring Golden IMO.



It beats alot of the choices I have seen

Do we get lazy Phil or National championship coach Phil? In my view this is the problem with a Fulmer hire. Plus its generally better to let the past stay in the past.

I'm shocked that LWS is saying there are conversations going on honestly.

 

[Captainzach1]

what the gruden talk was like before kiffen and before Dooley around here

 

[GoBigOrange86]

That means there aren't any conversations going on. Whatever Larry says doesn't count. Unless he says it does count. In which case it might count.

 

[BruinVol]

He said as we begin our search for a new coach... then went on to talk about giving the 18 million. I assumed along with a lot of people thats what it is being used for.

I went back and read It as well. I think we all assumed that but it doesn't specify that exactly. We all hope that it is for Gruden but if not It may have been more about the reserves fund.

Agree they will contend instantly, his baggage wouldn't be taken lightly here, jmo.

 

[tenn8179]

Yea i agree they loaded with talent and with petrino running the show they will be scary good.

If he can Turn Ark into a BCS contender then he word have us in the mix for a SEC right away. But i still would take J.Gruden over petrino in a heartbeat only because of petrios( pimp like ways)

Why would Hart do this? To buy time. He needs a few more days to nail as many issues as he can for the Gruden deal. Those mostly are internal academic type issues that have long hampered the team' s success. He may also be trying a strong arm approach with the academic/ admin to get what he wants by telling them their stupid rules are preventing getting real coaches, such as Gruden. Either way, Hart has stayed out of direct contact with the Gruden bunch for deniability purposes. He can provide cover by leaking to some mouthy media, like Hyams, that he has not talked to Gruden in order to keep them off the trail. Throwing thee little bones are diversionary tactics, again to buy time and distract from the real target, Gruden.

LWSVOL

you left off some big whys this thing is still in progress and not done (and it is not done IMO), is that there are still items that Tennessee cannot accept. nothing will get done until those items are addressed. JMO

 

[cutnitclose]

Why don't we just offer him 500,000 per win each year?

 

[Shake N Bake]

I can see Gruden being introduced as our new HC while the song (home) by Phillip Phillips is being played and the big orange nation is providing the chorus

 

[volfanatic74]

Went on then too. I'd say its much more rampant this time. Jmho

 

[dont114]

I think he would be ok. I don't think we should be "lucky" to get him as Rucker implies like a jackass.

I hope he is a lot closer to the bottom of our list than to the top.

 

[CountVolcula]

what the gruden talk was like before kiffen and before Dooley around here

Most didnt even know he coached here

Except for us old suckers

 

[tastycar]

Hate to admit it but this looks solid. Doubt youd get Chief back from LSU though

Excuse me, taking out of context...my 'not even possible' refers to Swain liking Rucker...don't jack posts out of context to prove your 'points'

Surely it has to be fake... There aren't any shadows on the ground...:whistling:

Agree.
Add to that a Phil hire would not unite the fan base.

Really?
