Official Jon Gruden Thread 31

[VolNRaleighNC]

If this is true then it Mullen and while he isnt Gruden he is a good coach.

That said any number of sources will tell you that Dan is a bad interview. dont think Currie would go that route!

Go Vols...

Soon

Jon Gruden!

Mullen and I’m done.

Well I wanted to celebrate the work hubby got done on the deck, Georgia getting their butt kicked, and Gruden coming to Tennessee. This was the only adult beverage in the house. lol

I feel your pain. Had the same stuff a few minutes ago. It’s rough!

 

[Ace]

According to Vincent Vega that’s what they do in Amsterdam.

European thing

Better make a run before too late. You don't want to be in a dry house on Sunday if the make The Announcement!

Absolutely STUPID to pay Gruden 10.2 million

I think we're getting out cheap
soon

 

[TennVols423]

Some of the stupid replies I get because I don’t agree that he’s worth 10.2 million, sorry I don’t agree with your opinion.

I’m pro-Gruden, just not for paying him that much to be VERY unproven.

If it’s with incentives, then yes but a base of 10.2 is just stupid, again MY OPINION

 

[UTVolinExile]

I'm specifically saying we have Gruden right now but we aren't going to have a signed contract until Butch is fired.

Wrong.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

At Del Friscos in Charlotte tonight. Overheard some guys at next table talking about JG saying how much he was looking forward to being back in Charlotte next September. Don’t know who they were, but they had ESPN jackets.

TIFWIW - but NFL schedules aren’t released until April. But there is a college game in Charlotte on September 1.

You have now recovered the 3 e-creds I took away and I am adding 2 more for responding to me

 

[Stoked]

First the naysayers said Gruden will never coach her. Now after all the smoke the naysayers are saying "can he even coach in college" or he's not worth the money smh.

 

[cncchris33]

This was Georgia's shot, and they're blowing it.

No surprise. They cannot handle the spotlight.

 

[Nuctech777]

No but we know Gruden can beat Saban, Spurrier, Davis, and Mora

I might have missed a game bouncing back and forth...

NFL head to head

Miami Dolphins at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - October 16th, 2005 | Pro-Football-Reference.com
Gruden 1-0 vs Saban

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Washington Redskins - October 12th, 2003 | Pro-Football-Reference.com
Gruden 1-0 vs Spurrier

Cleveland Browns at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - October 13th, 2002 | Pro-Football-Reference.com
Gruden 1-0 vs Butch Davis

Could have been 1-0 vs Bobby Petrino, but Petrino quit a few days (12-10-2007) before the game (12-16-2007).

He's also 2-1 vs Jim Mora

Course this is all NFL. Apples and oranges to college, but was a good time killer.

I enjoy stats like these. Keep up the good work.

Gruden=soon

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

I think that Butch is being held until Vandy so that the AD can hire a coach who is presently coaching.... was told this today

If this is the case it's gonna be a frosty morning when the hire is announced.

 

[apevol]

No surprise. They cannot handle the spotlight.

I love seeing it.

Woot woot!

 

[Boston Vol]

We have ZERO idea of Gruden can actually win at the College Level.

Actually we have a pretty good idea

 

[preacherwebb]

Yep, I actually thought done deal in 2012. Told myself this time I was in it for fun. Then some info came and started to believe. Been up and down a few times, but heard some info yesterday and today from a booster that lines up with a lot of the info here(from people I trust). So i guess im reeled in again.

i think you two need to get together and compare notes, and then get back to us with a unanimous decision.

 

[buckfama]

Yours was probably better... Not a fan of old smoky. That's just me though.

Can someone reccommend a good store bought shine?

Never really drank but been wanting to try some.

The different flavors have me interested in trying it. I heard they have a blueberry flavor now.

Recommendations?

Those numbers were reported to include incentives. I assume those incentives include a championship.

If he wins a NC, you still think he isn’t worth it?

 

[Vol423]

How’s it a bargain?

Gruden will bring buzz and recruits, sure.

But we have zero idea what kind of College coach he will be.

I want Gruden too but let’s be realistic here, if we’re throwing 10 million at people, why not go after a proven winner at the college level.

The lack of logic that some of you employ is astounding. Gruden has won a championship at the top level of football. Meanwhile, 95% of even the greatest college coaches are complete busts as coaches in the NFL. Yet, you guys want a “proven” college coach. For the moment, we can even forget about the fact that there are no real “proven” college coaches available. Gruden is a huge upgrade over even the great college coaches that are completely locked down by other teams.

...and GTFO!

Frost and I’m done too.

 

[BJWeeks]

I post on TOS and lurk here a little bit. Just wanted to stop by and say the info Tony B is getting is legit. I've been quoted on here from a post I made on TOS maybe two weeks or so ago claiming 10.2 is what we offered.

My source is the one who fed Tony all of his info from last night. Just wanted to reiterate that my guy is 100% legit, and SOON

Guys don't believe anyone that all of a sudden comes in and creates username. This is fake

Don't mix it.

 

[Sstterry]

i’m all for gruden

we have zero idea of gruden can actually win at the college level and we’re going to pay him that much, just stupidity.
