Official Jon Gruden Thread 36

[Power T-Rev]

You don't have to. But you're welcome to if/when Gruden finally just comes out with a "No." or we announce Mullen as coach.

I’m hesitant on Mullen because he has interviewed at multiple schools in the past trying to get out of Starkville and everyone passed on him. Makes me wonder

 

[Sstterry]

Which is?

Gruden to the Hill!

Soon

 

[Dudleys87]

I still don't believe they will end up with Kelly. But, never say never about nothin', right?

I hope they catch a case of what Tennessee caught

A few coaches that suck at football

Good morning! :hi: There's something everyone needs to remember. Currie said unless it comes from his mouth treat it as a rumor. Just because media guy A or message board guy B says it doesn't make it true. Nothing is official unless it comes out of Currie's mouth no matter how "in the know" someone's source is.

For me, it's Gruden until he's not the one at the podium. No angst or worry.

80% of this forum could coach circles around Butch. If you can watch the 2nd half of MSU game sat night and say Mullen is a great coach you are part of the 20% that couldn't out coach Butch.

Going 8-4 at MSU automatically translates to 10-2/11-1 at UT. How do people not understand that?

I have heard he was not well liked in Florida at all!

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

I heard Chip is slow playing it to see what UCLA does. If I’m wrong I’m wrong. We’ll see

Wallace said Chip approached them. I believe their target is Frost.

 

[SobeVol]

Gruden is probably not coming? Still hope he does but just seems unlikely.

Gruden is coming.
It’s a scheduling issue.
You just have to stop acting like a cat with tape on its paw.
Stay the course

This is the Gruden thread. Go join your pals over in the Mullen thread

Let’s Not get caught thinking the program dies under Mullen

Tennessee could do a lot worse

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

People just need to snap back to reality.

I just don't see myself having much active interest if Mullen is hired. He is not an exciting personality and I am not convinced that what he's done at MSU will transfer to Knoxville. He probably wants to stay where he is anyway so I'm not sweating it much.

 

[Sstterry]

I agree. Kelly to UCLA Frost to Florida or Florida St.( depending on what Jimbo does- A&M is rumoured to be interested in him). And:

Gruden to the Hill!

 

[VolFan4life24]

Grude Morning all!!

 

[Enki_Amenra]

The Official Mullen thread 100 posts in 7 hours....we do that in 7 mins.

You spelled Mehllen wrong.

 

[Dudleys87]

Frost told them no already...

I know , I can’t believe people are so delusional to believe Gruden isn’t going to be our coach. We can just hope they come around

 

[thebjd]

Someone needs to sweep the Mullen stuff out of here.

 

[Vfl2407]

Aww there is finally an official Mullen thread....i would suggest a coordinated troll assault by us Grudenites but their thread seems to be as slow as a certain starting Vol Middle Linebacker.

You know, thats really not fair to CJ.
Please watch this video about him.

Hes there because of what happened At UF off the field
I don’t think we’ve even contacted him

So would only having a bowl of kale for thanksgiving.
It’s just not aninspiring hire

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Frost told them no already...

I thought he said couldn’t address it till after season slowed it down . I hope he stays there . I am a UCF fan too. Son graduated and daughter graduates next year. You write checks you magically become a fan and follow the team. Funny how that goes 😄

 

[OldTimer]

I agree here.........introducing a new coach before the "new staff" even plays a game is wrong. Let this weekend play out and "go big" next week.

 

[itsmedave]

I still think the only reason Mullen shows any interest in UT/UF is to attempt to get a raise at MSU

I wouldn't presume that he has not had many chances to "get out". No everyone who has what seems like a lesser job will take anything they get offered. A classic example is Petersen at Boise. Finally, he got the right offer. Some coaches just like the school, city, AD (his left which could be a factor)

I think Mullen has had chances to leave but not many will pay more than he gets that have the expectations MSUhas or that are in the SEC if he wants to be there. Texas, Penn State, both got what were considered to be elite coaches.Not too many jobs have truly been open that would be better who didn't have their man already or hire current staff (LSU and USC). Miami went after Richt and PSU after Franklin, PSU after Urban, etc. Florida passed on him twice because he came off arrogant in interviews, but what coach isn't, especially the good ones?

There's a lot to be said for appreciating a big salary and job security when he would have 3 years max to win 10 games a year at any team he left for, ass opposed to sitting tight in Starkville cruising to 8 win seasons and being fine.
