Official Jon Gruden thread 32.

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Only guy I know that bombed and moved up in the world

Turned a wreck into a check.....

 

[tastycar]

He's connected more than most admit he just walks the straight line so folks get frustrated

The frustrating thing about him is that his stance has completely changed with his employment.

His original show had the real EA. State run has turned him into a robot like the others.

we won with them osome when Fulmer was here, but if I recall Fulmer hated them after like his 4rth year he said never again.

I remember we got beat like a rented mule when we wore them against LSU:cray:

That's the one thing we have to quit doing. Making position coaches into multi millionaires.

Amen. People want real.

Right it's a shame

If they can get all the deails done we have 2 perfect Times to announce Gruden, When all the VFL come home for the National Championship reunion, or the SEC Championship game when the world is watching the SEC right in the middle of the game!!

Cowboys players can’t wait for his yearly shower etiquette seminar.

They NEVER have to look for rommell

I totally agree with that I used to love the show when it was him and Jason Baily.

 

[Dudleys87]

Amen. People want real.

But if the AD threatens to lock you out if you don't play by the rules then you learn to play ball unfortunately

 

[VFLnSFD]

There is also a strategy called the stalking horse bid that is used to prevent low value bids on assets that belong to distressed companies, typically companies in bankruptcy. The stalking horse bidder will usually be given some incentives to take the risk of putting a fair market bid on the assets, regardless of if they end up being the high bid or not.

Imagine if Disney was considering putting a poor performing division out on the market for sale. Now imagine that the Ergens have agreed to put the initial bid for ESPN at a fair market value as long as Disney agrees to shed some of ESPNs expenses in the form of expensive headcount.

Of course this is all imagination land ish, but now Gruden is finding himself needing a new gig. The Ergens, through a VC, make a deal with the Grude that says that if UT HC position comes available and offered to him then he will sign.

Mind blown.

 

[VOLumeS]

Relentless pursuit of continuous improvement

 

[tnvols72]

I think his career is topped out at Dallas, especially since the bamboo market didn't take off

He can always get into the health care system with his shower discipline

 

[tastycar]

Amen. People want real.

Must. Not. Criticize. The. University.

And probably contractually can't. Pitiful.

That would be great

Seems To me they're all scripted hard anyway

Here's a picture of his fraternity:



So I guess Faber's on his short list.

I want Tennessee to be remembered for more than Just bricks and Orange pants all that stuff needs to be put in a trash can.

True. There’s probably more $ and access that comes along with it too. It’s a smart play.

The ones that aren't AD connected are much more entertaining, imo.

Having Russell Smith scream AT John Currie everyday on air was refreshing to hear. And I mean literally scream.

When someone asks why JG would leave the NFL for college.....Hey NFL=> Bears Packers Game HALF EMPTY at Soldier Field -- This Ain't Good Folks!

 

[Dudleys87]
