There's Gruden, Then There's Everyone Else - Rocky Top Talk

Good Morning. Thanks for all the info Boro, Lex, Coasty, Eric, GMAN and others. It's hard to get any info down here in Miami except Cane, FSU or Gator stuff!!! Thanks for keeping me informed on whats going on.

P.S. The hatin down here in Miami is already going on. My co-workers who are all Cane fans including one who is a former Cane RB are all telling me crap about Gruden and he only won because of Dungy's players at Tampa Bay yada yada yada and ragging me about my beloved Vols. Our time is coming and I can't wait to be back where we frekin belong!!!!!!!

Of all the negative stuff that comes and goes around here...that is the one that is the silliest to me.

Simply based on the recruiting of quality players giving him the ability to....coach, along with his staff.

We've go your back down there in SFL!

 

[Wilson27]

He is mistaken.

Would you not agree that technically he is right Boro. the AD has not offered anyone the job? :whistling:

Maybe someone has already posted this tweet but:Our sports guy @WillWestWNML reports UT boosters made an offer of an 8-yr deal to Jon Gruden with a "mind-blowing" amount of money. (Tweeted by @JimmyKtown)

I'm not familiar with the radio personalities in Knox, but I believe he is a sports guy at The Animal. Just posting FWIW

Someone posted a tweet from Ron Higgins from the Memphis Commercial Appeal who tweeted this yesterday. I believe Will West of the Sports Animal probably just retweeted it if I were to guess. The verbage is identical is what would lead me to say that.

It could even be as simple as a press release, with a presser at later date. I believe the desire is to leverage the publicity surrounding the SECCG as well as get the name out prior to the dead period in regards to recruiting.

Spazzy, post the email!

That's what I'm sayin!

Hate Notre Dame, behind the Gators they are the bottom of the food chain for me. Would love to see them lose and have an all SEC NCG.

See I think having Alabama destroy them for all the world to see would be better than an all SEC NCG. I would love to see them humiliated. I'm talking Michigan/Alabama game humiliated.

['Boro-vol]

Boro. Question?? Weren't insiders saying that when UT hired Kiffen, the admin were going to do a presser or press release at or around the SECCG?

Don't know.

 

[1world1love]

Go Irish.

Holy jeez man.

If that game happens, I would start praying for there to be a way both teams could lose.

 

[VOLout8]

That's what I'm sayin!

What a drive by!

 

[UTodd01]

Either way - this year ends bad for us as far as who the NC will be.

UGA? First since 1980, latest to win one after our last one

Bama? Again?

Notre Dame? Get ready for the media circle jerk.

Florida? Anyone else want to puke at the thought of Muschamp celebrating a NC?

 

[RagingOrange]

Can anyone find the full episode of that. I had seen this video about a month ago and could never find the full episode.

Its on there I believe...

It is so hard to take your posts seriously with that Avi.

 

[Melvie89]

ha ha ha ha Did he leave anyone coaching anywhere out? lol:

Looks like he listed any coach that would cost anywhere from 2.0mil to 6.0mil haha.

This makes perfect sense to get high-profile recruits to start thinking about how much they would like to play for Gruden.

why do i feel like i've missed something here?:unsure:

ssdd!

 

[Jake]

What a drive by!

Ya, he shot one bullet from a .22 cal and bolted in his El Camino.

His gun jammed

Yes....but I was referring specifically to Arky. They did. And he didn't even respond. I have that on very good authority. Then after we let Dooley go they upped the offer, and were rejected.

 

[esarmstrong]

I wouldn't go that far! However if B is talking about Gruden he is going against his normal act. B could be talking about...Saban, Jimmy Johnson or Bill Parcells and that would fit his m.o. I give him the benefit of the doubt this time and think he is spot on and is calling Gruden.

He was calling Majors' demise before anyone else in 1992 and Fulmer as the replacement. He was predicting Fulmer's demise the week before we lost to Bama in 2008. Dr. B may be an entertainer, but when it comes to predicting things such as coaching and personnel moves at UT, he is almost always spot on. Call me gullable, but he is plenty credible for me.

 

[RagingOrange]

The announcment can be made on the 30th. (ESPN sources have learned that Jon Gruden will become the next coach at TN) and the presser the following week... JMO

And the exclusivity of that is what makes them play nice in all this...major story.
