Official Jon Gruden Thread IX

[WildAsAMink]

The main thing I've learned is there are a TON of great coaches that are former UT GAs....

Looks like Majors was better at "teaching" coaching than coaching.... Fulmer was a great coach for a long while and we were always a contender but I'd rater be a dominator...

 

[Jake]

Are you gonna make it to the spring game?

Right now the Oregon game and the MIzzou game are into sights!!! I'm right between them!!

 

[vol4eva]

Basilio is all over the place...

Please explain to me...if Gruden wants 51 million for 8 years, that is 6.375 million a year, and wants to hire Raheem Morris for 1.5 million per year and hire Chad Morris for 1.5 million a year...that is 9.375 million just going to 3 coaches.

Now the "insiders" say big boosters have agreed to pay 9 million for next coaching staff...

EXPLAIN to me how the other coaches are to be paid OR are we just going to have 3 coaches...

I say we hire ditka for 9 mil. He can do it all.

 

[vol.E]

Basilio said a month ago that the boosters were going to handle this thing exclusivley, now he's saying that the boosters have turned over power to Hart.. Yupp that's believable

Maybe it's to save the AD a little face on the national level.. I think the boosters have already " handled it"

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Sigh...memorandum of understanding

It's also the sound that a kitty makes.

MOU! MOU! MOU! Fine, kitty, I'll let you back in, but you're NOT going out again!


.....MOU!

DAMMIT, KITTY!

 

[rkvdg]

Is this TB on TSR? He's trying to make a case against Gruden...

TB is kissin a lot of Harts azz right now to help keep what contacts he has in the AD .Everything he is saying says the boosters get to make there hire around what the 30 ?????

 

[Orangeslice13]

Chad Morris is dead in the water, from what I gather, and Raheem has been reached out to, but in my opinion, I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with Zook.

Patrick is just setting up the MNF announcement by CJG. ESPN wants to tell it first. Deal to let CJG go early from MNF.

Dan Patrick said done deal hope he's right

 

[bcartervol98]

Just had an awesome visit from a good friend from out of town. He is the AD of a D1 school in the North and has strong Tennessee ties. He confirmed the AD is on complete info lockdown, and most likely only Hart, Cheek, and a certain attorney know the inside scoop but based on everything he has heard elsewhere he is 90%+ that it is going to become reality.

He said "I wouldn't trust anything coming from the AD right now, those guys are guessing at names, nothing more. Money is making this happen, not the strength of the AD". Made me feel pretty good!

I heard this morning it might be sooner...in any case:

Soon.

9 Days.

How confident are you the announcement takes place on the 30th? That seems to be the general consensus, but I'm not sold on it yet.

 

[UTodd01]

I finally shut him up.

I called him out on his stance on Jim Mora Jr.

...crickets now.

No. He did not.

Not very. Might come earlier.

 

[Oldvol75]

Not very. Might come earlier.

possible

 

[WildAsAMink]

I would expect an announcement on the 30th rules out every current coach unless they're not going bowling... (please no Golden)

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Not very. Might come earlier.

Like your new avi!

I thought he was gonna be wearing a jersey.
