Official Jon Gruden Thread XII

[Elvis68Vol]

No. I started the Butch Davis thread and don't agree with that.

He just might be the best of the worst

 

[ShieldsUp]

This thing is so similar to the Saban hire at Bama it is eery

 

[SDV]

I feel sick. I think we've lost him

 

[hog88]

I guess we will see soon enought! Look back on my previous 100 plus posts and see what Ive bee saying...then come back to me! The University of TN just hired Al Golden as the new coach.......Im sick

Guess we will be paying another buyout in 3-4 years, oh how I hate having to look forward to Vandy and KY games for the chance at a W.

 

[VOLracerx]

Don't know what to think

Wors Case no gruden - best case the eFFers go away and we can have our sand box back.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Well, if you are a realist, Hart wouldn't visit Golden if it was a done deal. The smokescreen excuse is ridiculous.

Questions are:
-is he going to see Golden?,
-and is Gruden still considering. There has been little doubt that he has been considering. There has just been doubt about his accepting and/or supposedly already signing to make it a done deal.

We shall see. I do know this. If we hire Golden, the 18 million from academics aint happnin

 

[rich4pres]

Even if we do not get Gruden I am not leaving. This place is my happy place and the AD will not take that away.

Go Gruden

 

[coffeevol]

Turn off the light, the party is over.

 

[orangepeopleeater]

Why does Gruden have to say anything ... it is all rumors and speculation anyway ... if its not true they are probably sitting around a bar laughing about it.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

I look at what people in the media say, which all of them say he isn't coming. I believe them more than anonymous guys on a message board. Sorry.

Be careful with that. Talk to anyone that's ever worked in talk radio as a producer or host. Their primary focus is finding a topic that engages listeners. The ones with integrity will admit when they are wrong or even apologize for misleading their listeners. But even the ones with integrity are basically mouth pieces. They aren't paid to verify anything they hear - they just spew it if they think it will drive more listeners or keep you listening.

 

[Stevorino]

Petrino over Davis if it comes down to that. He can win.

I'd be embarassed to wear orange in Atlanta if we hired Petrino for the next 3 years. Pass please!

 

[driley3]

Will everyone who has given up leave now so the true Grudenites can have a slower thread to keep up with?

It's like watching a car wreck, for some reason I can't look away...

opcorn:

 

[BJWeeks]

It's not good if he did tell them that.

It could mean that you dont have to meet me because I have already signed

 

[I_Bleed_Orange77]

Nobody here owes anyone anything, that includes you, and it includes me.

Read what he posts, if you don't agree thats fine. Its not his job or anyone elses to prove anything to you.

so if i disagree i'm just suppossed to shut up and not voice my opinion? what is the point of a discussion thread then? i have just as much right to post as all the grudenites do, but the ones of us who don't agree with the majority get flamed? Dumb.

 

[gordonr24]

Today feels like the ending of The Empire Strikes Back.

More like "Revenge of the Sith" for the upset people

 

[InVOLuntary]

I feel sick. I think we've lost him

No not you too SDV.

 

[Volfan615]

Will everyone who has given up leave now so the true Grudenites can have a slower thread to keep up with?

Ditto! You can start all the threads you want in the Tennessee Coaching Rumors and Speculation Forum... Now go away or STFU!

 

[FooVol]

I just want to get this straight. So nobody knew anything, even making fun of the people wanting Gruden. Nobody knows of any meeting (talking radio folks) but all of a sudden in one day everyone knows everything! Please explain how a two week old quiet coaching search becomes very loud over the course of 6 hours.

 

[Mullins2010]

Funny thing is all this happens right after Memphis tv breaks a story.....

 

[warrior]

Just to merely play devils advocate he could use said offer to up the price on another one, just as miles has done.
Don't think he is doing that but who knows. I still say Gruden 2013. Hold the line.

Stand Strong!!! This is not the first time we have been invaded.

 

[4volfans2468]

On another note. Did Hart just locate his 2 leaks in his office??

 

[CSpindizzy]

Why is it only the local media/radio guys have this news? Nothing national confirms any of this....

 

[RagingOrange]

I look at what people in the media say, which all of them say he isn't coming. I believe them more than anonymous guys on a message board. Sorry.

But you believe some guy you dont know in the media just because the delivery route is different...genius.

 

[Stevorino]

No brah, they've just started the I told you so's . . .

hahahaha so true

 

[MWAVolfan]

Come on people, the University didnt divert $18 million in order to hire Al Golden. Check your brains!
