Official Jon Gruden Thread IV

[thebjd]

Didn't Nicky also lose to Grudes 2x in the pro ranks? That would scare me too if I was a bama fan...

I think once but go with it.

Morning/afternoon everyone. Contrary to popular belief yesterday the sun did indeed rise this am.

Brothers and Susters! May we all turn to the Books of Bear and Saban! We will no longer use the books of Shula and DuBose!

 

[carpbc]

Figured we needed to start a new one.

I do ask to please stay on topic in this one. I know we are just waiting for news at this point, but keep the thread on Jon Gruden, or on the coaching search. This is not the Endzone.

So I'll start: Does Dooley get fired this week? And if so, when do you expect an announcement if we get Jon Gruden?

I don't know... but perhaps after next loss. If Jon Gruden were to be hired, I would expect announcement shortly after Dooley resignation/firing announcement.

..Uhh well no actually it didn't..it is damp and dreary outside but when it does come back out it will be BIG ORANGE!

The parity in the NCAA is so analogous to the NFL.

Or not.

He says "take away the super bowl year"

Well reverse that logic...take away the years that Bama won the NCs and see if Bama fans like Nick's winning %. Silly argument.

Did you say you were a minister? Or is that someone else? I lost track.

Either way, the flock gets scared, they go to church, they get comforted and reassured that Jesus is coming...

Alot like going to church IMO....LOL.

Spoken like someone who knows little about church.

Yes I am. No, you are right, just saying it isnt only purpose of church but your point is well made, i should have just acknowledged it and not complicated it. My bad. :hi:

Except for the fact that he compared the church to scared children in bed and totally misrepresented its purpose.

No worries sir! Maybe I oversimplified it and wasnt too clear.

Yes. You did. But also true is the fact that there are no worries.

:hi:

I believe one of the 2 was pre-season. Not technically a win, but still a win.

 

[JayVols]

I still have a great Russian accent.

Knowing what you sound like, I'm sure it's an accent common in the southern areas of Russia.

 

[Wilson27]

Where is Doyle when we need him to tell us his take on the bible?

 

[BearBryant]

Stupid post. 15 games over .500 over 11 seasons in the NFL is pretty impressive, actually, because it is a more level playing field than in college.

Your boy, Nickky, learned that the hard way. Now what was his pro record? And how many Super Bowls did he win?

Not a stupid post. But your reply is hollow and stupid.

Yes his overall record is 15 over .500. But his SuperBowl season is 11 of the 15 over .500.

His record doesn't give me this great fuzzy feeling that he is a sure fire winner. Especially the fact his record is in the National Felon League and not College. It takes a whole lot more ability as a coach in college than the pros.

Hey Bear Bryant,

You know what is awesome? This:

Speaking about Petrino, Bear wasn't exactly and angel either.

Who do you want as the head coach of UT?

If that was the case, Saban would still be coaching the Dolphins.

WHAT? Are you being serious? "It takes more ability as a college coach in college than the pros"...ok move along nothing to see here

Now JG is being compared to Moses on the TB show! Can't make this up.

But can he part the Crimson Sea?

I lost IQ points just reading this post.

Uhm....

Yeah, after he has the nerve to call someone else hollow and stupid

 

[BearBryant]

Hey Bear Bryant,

You know what is awesome? This:

Hey, I know. By the way I've been a Tennessee fan all my life. I have blood relatives with their names on the Wall of Fame which is on the UT campus. 4 of them to be exact. My daughter graduated from UT in May 2010.

From West Tennessee.

I'm just wondering why so many of you Dooley haters think Gruden is such a surefire guaranteed success. His record doesn't give me that kind of confidence.

How would you know? You never coached in the NFL

I didn't call the person hollow and stupid, I said his answer was hollow and stupid.

I think most of us just know that he is not Derek Dooley. That is enough for me.

 

[MWAVolfan]

If we get Gruden, what if any effect do you think he could have on swaying Bray/Hunter/Patterson to stay at UT and not go to the NFL?

If they do go to the NFL, who would be next in line for Gruden to work with at those positions?

I lost IQ points just reading this post.

It's like people who say, "but if you take out the running back's fifty yard touchdown run, he only had 79 yards rushing.
