Official Jon Gruden Thread IX

[Unknown Muppet]

And in two or three years the SEC gets the TV deal and there will be alot of money then.

Plus, let's not forget all the apparel and concessions that a rejuvenated fan base will buy as they go to the games.

 

[Dudleys87]

I'm trying to get info about Gruden, to me it is a big deal.

Then I shall direct you to the Cliff Notes Thread.

 

[UTBasketball2]

Oh my, someone get this guy a sippy cup.

I'm just saying this isn't the pics section, there's a place for that.

 

[volfan4evr]

Can someone try to find a link to Erin Andrew's comments and post it to the cliff notes?

LOL it was on the radio!

 

[ClintStoerner]

Guys, I love women.

Good, we were getting worried

 

[Unknown Muppet]

Guys, I love women but this isn't the pics section.

Further proof Gruden doesn't need his own thread. He needs his own FORUM!

 

[Dudleys87]

You talking to my man all wrong here... if you keep it up I haveta break your face :dance2:

Just how biga boy are yee?

 

[UTBasketball2]

Good, we were getting worried

Thanks for being concerned.

 

[utfan15]

Damn.....they make enough sales at 1 home game with $4 hot dogs and $4.50 drinks to pay the rest of the coaches....9 mil on ticket sales would be a walk in the park!!

And pay no more!

 

[LifeisO&W]

expect the story that comes out later in the week or next week be that either Peyton or Haslam ponyed up the money at the last minute to get Gruden to UT and expect the media to turn posi-Gruden in a few days.

UT retailers are dreaming of a Gruden Christmas

Gruden, like most in the top of the coaching profession, is a fierce competitor and as such has an internal need that will not be met in a commentary booth.
Coaches of his caliber or perceived caliber are very seldomly hired to maintain the status quo nor do they pursue those types of jobs with limited challenges. If you think Gruden is "happy" with his current assignment, then I am glad to know others are helping to make this hire.
This guy is driven by competition. Money is important but being at the top is what motivates this guy. I don't want this to come off the wrong way but ego goes beyond what is being discussed here. Healthy respect of his ability to motivate others.

I stand by my statement that JG will NOT be coming to UT. Is that a 100% fact......absolutely not.

My opinion is taking several FACTS into consideration that would make it highily unlikely that he would ditch his current gig making 4+mil/year + endorsments to come and coach a downtrodden UT football team.

The recruiting work alone that he would have to put in would more than double the hours he has to currently work every week.

If i'm wrong, i'll gladly apologize to this board. I've ever told a few co workers that I would eat a handfull of dirt if Gruden ends up at UT. I think that the chance that he doesn't end up here, far outweighs the chance that he does.

and the Police show up.....


Scatter!

UT retailers are dreaming of a Gruden Christmas

There are a lot of retailers in Knoxville praying for a Gruden Christmas. Sales go up dramatically when the team wins.

We could call it Grudenville. Oh, wait, that's stupid.

 

[#1DicksonVolFan]

The comments from Hyams really concern me. It would have been one thing for him to just generally doubt Gruden to UT, but to say there was a "snag", and as a result chances have drastically decreased suggests that he knows something. This is not good at all imo.

Never have I felt bad for a scooter until now....

Silly Arky fans....

Don't they know Grudes goes to UT!

 

[jos3ywales]

I guess posting pics of women before 10pm is frowned upon in this establishment....

we can just look a wcm's AVI

 

[ITSGR82BATNVOL]

No local sports beat writer affiliated with UT is going to go on record and announce Gruden to UT. If some of you all are waiting for this to happen before making up your mind, well you won't have much longer to wait. UTAD in conjuction with ESPN will be the ones to make it official.

I fully expect to see it as "Breaking News" scrolling across the bottom of the screen on ESPN, the day it breaks, followed by "official" conformation from UT within the hour. Would you agree or disagree with this assessment?

The better question is, who cares?

Not gonna lie. The suspenders might be getting a workout too.

 

[TOP]

Ignore the semantics, gentlmen. The gist of what i'm trying to say here is that Gruden is not coming to UT, unless your friend of a friend of someone at the athletic dpeartment is a reliable source.

Sup, pig.
