[Sam I Am]

Hey everbody!!! Miss me much??? Been reading a few pages to get caught up.........I think I can sum it all up for everyone...

Here goes...

Colin Cowherd can GTFO.

Can't listen at work. Elaborate please.

 

[VolFan32]

TOS saying Gruden reached out to David Blackburn to be over compliance

That's interesting.

 

[kayakonthefly]

Not exactly. Someone said Easter Bunny and Santa Claus announced on Friday...fwiw

Bunny to Arkansas - but someone thinks his girlfriend is leaving him and moving to Kansas because she don't want to live in that craphole.

 

[TexasVolfan1]

Wasn't around during 2012, was there this much noise before the deal fell through back then?

 

[MaTaLa]

If true, then they are not "real journalists" at all. "Clowns without integrity" would be a more accurate depiction.

Only "real journalists" are renegades. It's the nature of the beast

 

[Grand Vol]

Newpapers can read Volnation and go from there.

Just wait until they start talking about Freak's yacht

Wasnt kevin Steele the one who got like 70 points run up on him while he was at clemson, and then got fired.. if so.. no thanks, he can stay where he's at..

Since coming to Auburn as DC (2016) here is how his defense has stacked up against ranked opponents:

2016
#2 Clemson - L (19-13)
#17 Texas A&M - L (29-16)
#18 LSU - W (18-13)
#17 Arkansas - W (56-3)
#1 Alabama - L (30-12)
#7 Oklahoma - L (35-19)

2017
#3 Clemson - L (14-6)
#2 Georgia - W (40-17)

I haven't checked the stats at his prior stops as DC but I'd take those results in a heartbeat. Especially if he could get an offense to help his defense out.

Nina Ross...

A [[playing card]] with the rank of nine
# {{lb|en|slang}} A hand in [[lowball]] [[poker]] where the highest card is a nine

Can you do anything with this?

I don't have any idea what this mesns.

Yes, but he's been a solid DC everywhere and is doing very well at Auburn right now.

[CoachClick]

What’d he say?

Bashing UT and their fans saying because we want Gruden or the famous guys..is why we are an underachieving program. saying Gruden would be the worst hire for us. He's a tv star cant deal with kids etc...

He says to Hire the boring guy...Dan Mullen. Automatic 10 game a year winner.

I.e...he can GTFO.

 

[alaVOL]

Just wait until they start talking about Freak's yacht

Which one?

 

[newyorkvol]

Yes. That's what I do. I've had my step by step touring plans finished for months.

We do dining reservations around 6 months in advance and then plan around those. Planning is half the fun.

 

[Rizzo924]

So when you "just leave", what status does the hotel system show you in after check-out time? I don't know, maybe, hmmmm..... "checked-out"

AH. I see your point - also good!! I think I pictured him at front desk checking out, which you never do anymore (UNLESS you're leaving a diff time than first booked). However, I think you're talking about what's in the "system."

 

[VFLnSFD]

TOS saying Gruden reached out to David Blackburn to be over compliance

Now THERE'S a twist I want expecting.

 

[crparker21]

Beav posts common sense stuff. Nothing revealing. At least I haven't seen it. If so, I'd like to see what he's said that wasn't just common sense.

True, but many of the non-believers didn't think it would get to this point. It has to have legs for media outlets to still be talking about it and saying he might not be a good college coach. In 2012 media wasn't even giving it a second look.

You might want to read this before you make that call...Does Auburn have the best defense in the SEC?

least amount of yards allowed against a Top 10 rushing offense of a Power 5 team since 2009.

That not dominant enough for you?

 

[Ten_Titans]

People don't check out of hotels anymore. You just leave.

I check out of hotels all the time.

My company books rooms by the week. Depending on when I get the work done, I can potentially leave 3-4 days early. Definetely don't want to get charged for those.

 

[UTVolinExile]

UT, of course! He's coming with his dad. He has to!

Soon.

Confirmed. It was in the MOU.

I've got the dilly dilly and the turkey hole. What did I miss along the way about the taco and the cheese?

 

[VFL-82-JP]

If he doesn't want to invest a lot of time in recruiting, Jon Gruden has the luxury of letting his fame and asst coaches do most of it for him.

We sign 20-30 recruits each year, and pitch to another 50 or more. For discussion's sake, make it an even 100 high school players we actively engage each recruiting season.

Half of those will never get past the position coach / primary recruiter stage.

So Jon's going to be called in to to be the big gun maybe 50 times a year. Half those will be phone calls.

So he's actually traveling to a recruit's home and sitting in the living room talking to parents (usually to close a deal, occasionally to sway one that's gone south) maybe 20-25 times a year.

20-25 days committed to recruiting, plus some number of hours making phone calls and texting, in a 365 day year, that's not a super-heavy load.

It's not an obstacle to coaching at the college level, even if he doesn't relish the duty.

 

[aredfox28]

Ok... thanks guys for getting me caught up on kevin steele, much appreciated.

 

[Grand Vol]

Yeah Basilio def reads VN. Talking about us right now. Talking about the Blackberry farm rumors.

Good grief, he's like three threads behind.
