Official Jon Gruden Thread IX

[UTodd01]

Makes one wonder for sure. This date clicks with duckman

It's Dykes or Strong.

 

[tim]

Pretty sure it is not. Larry lives/lived in Nashville and was in insurance business.

Maybe he does or maybe he doesnt. This line of posting is not beneficial to anyone and should stop. NOBODY wants their personal life strewn on VN.

 

[Sheath Huler]

Not that I think we end up with him, but I don't get a) why jimbo fisher is on our supposed list and b) why the media fluffs him as some great candidate. The guy is a transparently bad coach.

 

[perico]

Wow. They are putting a muzzle on things. This is from NBC Sports, folks. No mention of Vols, but just how far this thing will be kept quiet.

It's Dykes or Strong.

Wouldn't both of them need to coach bowl games?

If its a coach who is not coaching right now that they could announce could it be Davis?

Agreed.

I would not be happy with Fisher or Golden at all.

If you can't win in the fertile recruiting grounds of Florida, you can't win anywhere.

For who? Arky?

For who? Arky?

Yes

I think they can leave and not coach the bowl game.

Could be wrong though.

For those who have asked---I would hire Jim Tressel--if I was Tenn's AD.
"Tressel doesn't have SEC pedigree". Uh, either did Urban b4 crushing nor did Saban B4 crushing at LSU.

They are announcing this weekend

 

[volfanCLT]

It's Dykes or Strong.

I'm guessing Dykes

 

[perico]

It was I agree but he did say there was zero chance he had been offered any job

We haven't formally announced the offer yet, which makes sense. Supposedly, Arkansas has.

[UTodd01]

I'm guessing Dykes

I'll throw my prediction out there and say Strong.

He makes sense there and would probably do well.

 

[perico]

Who did Haney list as candidates for the UT job on his blog on ESPN? I'm not an insider on ESPN, but hoping someone who his could give me his rundown. Is Grudes even on his list?

Yes, he was mentioned.

Mortenson says no offer was extended

 

[volnpowell]

Here is a question that I will preface by saying I of course think Jon Gruden will be wildly successful here....but I have seen where people have said he isn't great at evaluating talent....anyone have thoughts on this?

GM makes decision along with their scouts info. Gruden did not want Johnson or King as his QB as stated in article above about part of interview on PTI being removed.

 

[MWAVolfan]

Cut is staying at Duke. Just got a contract extension.

 

[UTodd01]

Mortenson says no offer was extended

Simply another shot at Arkansas.

Nothing to see here as far as UT is concerned.

Woot.

 

[chvy1986]

Strong to Ark and we will get Gruden. It's a massive deal to Gruden that he can't turn down. Believe me or don't......

Wouldn't surprise me. Both will be good hires IMO

When Gruden's name came up before Dooley was hired in 2010, how long was it before he shot down the rumors of him potentially coaching to UT? The Longer he is quiet I believe the better chance we have on landing chunky and seeing him make those evil facial expressions roaming the home sidelines at Neyland next fall!!!
