Official Jon Gruden thread 32.

[VolNExile]

We also know that Currie spent his tenure at K-State anticipating having to find a replacement for Snyder. Is it possible there's no need for a search firm because he's already very familiar with his options?

Interesting idea, although I don't think there would have been the same candidate pool at Kansas State.

add that with the cheshire cat grin when gruden was mentioned, i think it was a great presser.

😁

Kirby has surged at uga. If Florida gets Kelly and we get Gruden, we are going to get to watch some awesome football games in the near future. The SEC will be insane!

Yes it would definitely be must watch TV. Currie needs to make sure this happens.

Wonder if the other Harbaugh is the NFL guy?

Hubbs already stated it was Doug Marrone, although Hubbs doesn't see that happening. Swain also shut down the John Harbaugh talk

Hey @PeteThamel, it is no wonder Yahoo has completely and irreversibly failed as a company when they hire people like you to write for them. Better improve quick otherwise @Verizon may fire you, their ax is sharp.

I feel like one can read this two ways.

1. He's smiling because he knows that he can get Gruden or has already gotten (Coach) Gruden's confirmation.

2. Or, maybe he was chuckling at the fact such a question was being asked to begin with.

Sure hope it's the first case rather than the second.

Hash, usually scattered or smothered.

Edit: I don't 'bate

Smoked.

Swain said no.

What’s the speculation? I wonder if it’s anyone who has ties, other than the obvious?

Holy balls. It sounds like they might be forced on both ends. I hope Gruden is part of this and he’s not going WTF?

I absolutely think he would be. If we accept the narrative that has been presented, everything is going according to plan.

I don't see anything being forced.

Now that’s funny as hell.

That's a good point too. Hopefully he's looking at a different pool now...

Gotcha. Wonder why they would even throw that out there if they don’t see it happening?

CONFIRMED: Beaver = Donald Trump

 

[tvolsfan]

All this that’s come out today would Elude to why Butch didn’t get the Purdue Jon at the end of last season

Also because he had already proven to be a bad coach.

Beaver has Trump like Twitter game. Solid.

So, I think there are a few things in your argument I disagree with.

(1) I don't think " VolNation" was being tested, as much as all of VOL NATION. This site is the free site with the greatest accessibility, and thus ease of tracking actual interest.

(2) The purpose of testing the waters was to add value to the proposal. In a vacuum, offering a deal is a reasonable thing, but with the added data from this type of social experiment you can solidify the case.

(3) To a point you made later - using a data polling service would accomplish the opposite result. The purpose of the stalking horse is that no one is aware. If the pollsters were calling people in Knoxville asking about head coaches, it would immediately give everything away.

I think the analysis is correct, as far as Beav is concerned. He is assuredly the Stalker Horse. However, I'm not sure who actually sent him. It's convenient to say Ergen, but it could be just about anyone.

He did say, "These people don't miss." This type of maneuver could be part of that. People who don't ever miss in big transactions have contingencies out the wazoo. This popular rabble-rousing may be part of those contingencies.

You won’t get this kind of analysis over in the Mullen thread. They’re concerned with his best 3rd and long play.

Its only a matter of time now boys.

Mitch would be correct

That’s great. It makes no sense to have gone to all the trouble and not know you have Gruden. Worried me after the stalking horse and failure talk.
