Official Jon Gruden Thread XI

[rnhturner]

Gruden at Game tonight.

Quote:

"I have never seen more wide open receivers..."

This proves he knows nothing about UT football nor had any discussions with anyone about UT.

Just Saying.

Gruden just said "I've never seen such wide open receivers" well I guess he really wasn't watching the UT game on the plane?????? Because the teams that play us wr are open all the time

Peyton Manning Commercial!!!!!

[babyavi]

This thread took a turn for the worse the first time someone claimed to have a source.

ha ha i just think it doesn't bode well for us.

Attention Vol Fans. If you tuned into MNF tonight and think you hear Gruden, you do BUT MNF had him record the play by play earlier today so Gruden could have dinner in Knoxville with Hart and the Escalade gang. Sleep good tonight -announcement for sure coming tomorrow or sometime after that.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Slice, Bcarter, ect. What have you heard in regards to Gruden's interest with the NFL?

I think his wife wants to settle down and raise her kids in east Tennessee. Just my opinion.

 

[MFL]

Skeeter has been silent as well.

Verified they got a gag order ..thanks

 

[Elvis68Vol]

Eagles D worse than ours.

That is scientifically impossible.

 

[DownTheField]

Shula shout out.

 

[babyavi]

I will say that the governor would be very interested in not having his involvement with a hire being made before a job came open becoming public knowledge. That would cause him significant political issues and maybe even legal issues IMO.

JMO, but I don't think Bill is involved in anyway.

 

[RockyTop85]

I haven't been able to track down that rule either Slice. :good!:

I feel like that would have to be an NCAA or Tennessee Statute but I can't find the statute. Not that I did an exhaustive search, but I did try briefly.

 

[DougVol]

Are our reliable posters silent for a good reason? I sure hope so 🙈🙉🙊

No they're pissed the party may be over

 

[InVOLuntary]

In all seriousness I texted a friend of mine that I know has Dr Punch on speed dial after his comments on the radio. He said he spoke to him before he went on the air and he knows nothing. TIFWIW.

 

[Golden Girl]

Very intersting that the job isn't posted. That means no procedure must followed to me

Also could mean the job has been filled... jmo

 

[Orange_Crush]

Uh oh... He just mentioned Cam Newton 'from Auburn'. He's replacing Chizik!

 

[theutvolunteers]

jon f'n gruden!

Looking like it's getting dead. Sad though. I really wanted Gruden.

Not really.

 

[rnhturner]

He just mentioned Mike Shula. An obvious reference to the Dooley situation at UT and the next coach after him.

So disregard my previous thread.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Post made me nervous, Slice.

Otter is my fishing buddy. That was between us not related to the gru thing.

hey the grudes been watchin coverage like this the past couple of week watching our tapes

I've had a lot of laughs today off this thread, especially seeing how the whole Dilfer replacing Gruden tonight thing took off. Man isn't the Vol Nation a little edgy and grasping for straws.

The Vol nation needs to relax this will happen. I think everyone got so caught up in things today you all missed something very important.

Today it was reported that Governor Haslam said he doesn't have a recommendation on Dooley's replacement and said how much the new coach gets paid shouldn't be up to the governor. So why is this important. Two reasons. First his family is being tied to this hire and secondly and more importantly he knows this is done and people are going to go crazy on the salary (remember not everyone in the state is a UT fan or even a football fan). He as a politician is having to distance himself from the money aspect of this hire, meaning an announcement is forthcoming.

not a bad first post, my friend!:clapping:

He's not. His dad is.

Don't be ridiculous..that's his clone! :tease2:

That thread can start next week if this ends in heartbreak
