To the poster that said no matter what happens, at least Butch Jones is no longer the coach...BRAVO!

Sorry, too lazy to go back and see who you are.

The most important thing in Bubba's post was the words at the bottom of the gif.

"My work here is done"

That signifies, to me, that the whale 🐳 is beached!![/QUOTE]

Or troll job complete. I don't know bubba from James, I want to believe. But who do you believe?

Serious question: What if Gruden is a bust? The man hasn't coached in a very long time and its been even longer since he coached in the college ranks. Don't get me wrong from a personality and stature perspective he is the "man", but I'm more concerned with the Coach aspect. The other stuff simply won't matter if he can't coach.

Was wondering the exact same thing. What would be the fallout if he lost his first game to a nobody by four td's?

Never let your troll guard down.
Has no bearing on which coach we get however.

UT has had a real interest in Gruden for years. Posters can hint at all kinds of things knowing this. If JG doesn't accept, "doesn't make them wrong". If he accepts, they're "legends".

None of that should bring you down. UT sounds more than ready to be serious in fb again (no VN insiders necessary to see that). JG may be serious about still having coaching fever. Very well could happen and it has nothing to do with anyone's *sources.

There are 3 or 4 people whose words I pay more attention to here but as far as straight up "this is what's going on", with no cryptic bs, Stonecold is the only one that just called his shot and was perfectly clear about it and how he knew.

Once again, people trolling doesn't lessen our chance on getting a coach.

Yep. All of this...

So in one level swoop from bcarter we go from cloud nine to the depths of dispair and questions of all our info... sucks, hope we get good news but starting to doubt

Would be nice to hear from Atl Vol or the Beav to shed light on the current state of things

no it happenned when hubbs deleted a post and retracted he had heard anything reliable at all. At this point he is as bad as the pecker guy trying to get twitter clicks.

If he's a bust, we won't know for a while. I believe kids will follow blindly for at least a few years. Butch did a very nice job of noticing underrated talent early on and changing minds late in recruiting cycles. The big timers will be all over Gruden from the gate. We'll have the talent to overcome disappointing coaching for a while. But I'm guessing he knows what he's doing.

There’s always risk. This is about minimizing risk. The recruits will show up, he is a great coach (see the opposite - Lyle Jones), and the fan base is clearly energized about him. This program does not have time to take chances anymore. We need to regain relevance, and JG is our highest chance of doing that quickly and in style.

That would be me and I am still reveling in the fact the toxins have left the building. Whoever becomes our coach, I will be happy. Complimentary football is something more than helping the opposing team get to a bowl game.

I don’t understand this love for tee as an OC.
I have several friends who are fans and donors of USC and have been told numerous times that Tee is not that well respected out in LA. The consensus is most don’t want him coaching there.
I fear it’s more love of a vfl and nostalgia than sound judgment. Imho

But, he is lights out at recruiting, and we don't care because CJG will be calling the plays!
