Official Jon Gruden Thread XII

[UT_Tix79]

do you have a link?

He was just on the Channel 10 News in Knoxville with those comments.

Bleh

 

[orangesoda]

Chris Lowe from ESPN just said no chance Gruden comes. He's been high on the bandwagon since the beginning.

He's very connected in Knoxville, not sure what changed his tone :-(

He has not been on the bandwagon!

You'd think you guys have never negotiated anything before . . .

You have to give the impression you're willing to walk away .... even when you're not. I'm telling you this is two sides negotiating the heck out of this. That doesn't generally happen unless both sides are intent on making a deal work.

Haha... Last car I bought, I stormed out of the dealership 3 times and hung up on a few guys over the phone. Told them I did not want a Honda, and that I was headed to Toyota. Bottom line... I always only wanted the Honda, and never even looked at or called Toyota. I got the top of the line model for the bottom of the line price

 

[Catbone]

Maybe he was wishing him luck in getting laid that night??

He's Jon Gruden. He gets laid every night.

 

[RockyTop85]

Has anybody pointed out that Hyams' report today completely contradicts the report he made a week ago?

I think these rumors are stupid,
thinking that the program will fall apart without Gruden is stupid,
people making stuff up for e-cred is stupid,
people dragging back every half-baked shred of anything they see on twitter without digging into it in the slightest is stupid,
and most of all people asking if there is a press conference in 30 minutes are really freakin stupid.

That said, Hyams is clearly FOS.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

Good night y'all!

I'm still Gruden.

It looks like typical negotiations in any mega deal...it really does. It takes time!!

Grude night and may tomorrow bring you grude tidings.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Maybe he was saying good luck telling Cindy she isn't moving back home near her mom and getting bank to do such. He would need a truckload of luck pulling that off.

He has never said that Gruden was coming. He has always said it was a long shot. Nothing new from him.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I've been looking over numbers in college and NFL, and a lot of it doesn't make sense... colleges like Alabama bring in 150 million+ a year in revenue, but only profit a few million, then teams like the Browns have 250 million a year in revenue and profit, even while paying their players, which the NCAA doesn't do... trying to figure out each teams yearly expense breakdowns.

I've wondered the same thing myself.

 

[CWGvol]

Agreed on all but slice. His latest news has to be begged for after some drive by attention seeking post

You should believe Slice over anyone all the time! Believe that!

 

[Sgt_Nick_Fury]

Dooleys buyout is structured as such he can go to work tomorrow and still get the full buyout. He pwned Hamilton.

I'm just curious if he goes to Bama, who would he be replacing..... Wonder if we'll do a switcheroo again

 

[Unknown Muppet]

He has not been on the bandwagon!

Correct. He was talking about how Gruden was a pipe dream the day fo the firing on that show he does on the Sports Animal.

 

[MrVol]

Anyone know offhand the current highest paid staff? and how much? I'm just trying to put this figure in perspective

No but we paying Sal a $1.5 million buyout for giving up almost 40 points a game.

 

[vmivol00]

Id take tressel with 5 gm show cause over them guys

If we are going to hire a known liar....I prefer Petrino.

THIS GUY, Chris Lowe is like an anti UT, UT guy.

Taking notes.....

and that's how it's done.

 

[1world1love]

I'm trying to..I waivered tonight for the first time since entering the Gruden threads..But it will pass.:thumbsup:

We can only control what we can control I suppose.

The crazy people make this place exhausting for sure though. After tonight, I may take a break until the announcement.

 

[Volletterman83]

Does anyone know if a coach has won a Super Bowl and a college national championship? Gruden certainly could be the first to win a Super Bowl and BCS championship

 

[tomq_123]

Tressel can't coach here with NCAA problems. Petrino can't sit in a living room and talk to parents, without being looked at as a man cheating on his wife with a blonde bimbo half his age.

Parents may not like it but I'm sure the kids will think it's pretty coo1.

Does Tressel's NCAA troubles follow him where ever he might go? I'm not to clear about that, all I know is the guy's overall record was something like 229–79–2 (according to Wikipedia which might be true since it's on the Internet) . That is some coaching.

Apparently after the Mike and Mike show this AM, Lowe called around and asked as many people as he could and all his sources apparently said it is dead....TIFWIW

 

[VolCrash33]

I can't even go take a pi$$ without getting 5 pages behind on here. Ha

Even Obama is ticked off over this Gruden thing.
