Official Jon Gruden Thread III

[Coastypop]

I'm not in tune with big boosters like others on here may be, so I really don't have info on that...

I was just answering that Hubbs saying Hart told him hell evaluate all coaches after the season is Harts typical answer for all sports at all points of the season...

My opinion...if Dooley is gone in the next week Gruden is on his way. If we wait till after the season to can Dooley then a coaching search that doesn't include gruden will ensue.

I would agree with this.... if Dooley is still here for Kentucky and no decision is announced, Gruden said "Thanks but No thanks"

 

[BruinVol]

The..."I'll evaluate all coaches at the end of the year" statement is his typical response. It was hubbs stance before the year, after weeks 2,3,4 and 5....hubbs just doesn't venture to break info like that, not gonna burn bridges.

If hubbs was pressing hart for a statement and hart gave him the prototypical response...what do you expect Hubbs to say?

Was it hubbs or not???


If hubbs my guess on this whole thing is this is a shame.

 

[JayVols]

I
Still want Strong but will gladly take Gru.

I'll take that. We'll just give you a Probie status.

USCe message board said he "broke his femur, on top of a torn ACL/MCL/LCL/PCL and chipped his patella, and sartorius tendon rupture along with pes anserinus tears."
Sad, sad day for this young man and I know all of VolNation will be praying for him.

thast what i wrote.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

no J is my step-brother. Don't have the same last name. Brian wasn't related

That's crazy. Your brother is my age, and we went to Central Baptist together and played church league ball as kids.

Sorry, meant that for PJ...

dude your gonna wish you never posted this. your going to get a backlash like i have. and many of us have. hold on to your pants!

If they do that's fine I'm just passing info. Not trying to claim I have inside knowledge but I have also hear from another guy I know very well that he knows booster that say they will open their checkbook whenever they are ready

Did he say when to exact a Gruden announcement?

 

[Coastypop]

I'm sorry it was Hymms not Hubbs that was saying that.

Now that makes more sense.... Alert avoided

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Lol.

Darn what's the truth here!!!

If it was jimmy then never mind!

Hubbs has repeatedly said hart has said hell evaluate all coaches at the end of the year...that's why i was saying don't pay attention to that.

As far as hubbs supposedly saying a change won't be made until after the season, I haven't seen that...so maybe that was Hyams.

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

I thought the way both teams met in the middle of the field as a show of respect to a very good, injured football player was amazing. I can't recall the last time I have witnessed somthing like that.

It's like your avy is speaking directly to me!

Knoxville's a small town at times

 

[BruinVol]

who does the call in show with Faud?

No idea but i sure would like to know what hubbs is saying tonight.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Knoxville's a small town at times

Indeed

If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy! Over looked phrase here.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

No idea but i sure would like to know what hubbs is saying tonight.

The same things he's said all year...that Hart says "I'll evaluate all coaches at the end of the year".

Translation...he's saying nothing.

Hubbs is in a bad spot...I fully believe he has more info than most, but he simply can't say it or hint it. By playing dumb basically he's going to come off bad if all this breaks in the next couple days.

Yeah , but whose mother , is the key question . lol

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

This..My hubby can attest to that!:crazy:

 

[volatil]

If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy! Over looked phrase here.

Does mama want to move closer to home???

I understand your point abou what has been said all year but if hubbs is told that same line tonight it's the truth IMO.

I agree with you if a change isn't until the end of the year then no Gruden

I heard the same things from our friends who work for and with these boosters. I can not verify the third hand info. By I can verify what we both heard.

The info comes from a friend who works at Augusta National and the second tip come from a major power player at Alcoa, Inc.

 

[grace2u]

I had a similar sense of foreboding. Red is wise.

My wife walked in and said, "They're going to choke. They always do." I hate it when she's right.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Per Skeeter in the recruiting forum...just fyi...

I think he is done, thought that regardless of todays outcome. Hart really likes Dooley alot, but hes getting alot of pressure from a few people that matter. Hart is a very stubborn man tho, hard to say what he is thinking or planning on doing. Noone inside the ad has a clue if a coaching change is about to happen or not. Rumors fly around here just like anywhere else.

 

[Caspar02]

Did he say when to exact a Gruden announcement?

He didn't say. He said he was playing golf with this guy tomorrow and I told him to try and get some info out of him.

I hope to see him in pads again.. Great athlete.
