Official Jon Gruden Thread IX

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

We have been told Hart plans on seeking permission from UCLA on the 25th to contact Mora. He also has interest in Strong. He wants a coach in place by mid december if at all possible. Like ive said, Hart is very smart and cagey, maybe back up plans in case something falls through if indeed a deal is in place with Gruden.

Welcome to the thread Skeeter and thanks for the info.

Go Vols.

Thanks. Mora is a very solid option imo.

This thread caused me to join VN. I have lurked here for years but I just had to become part of the excitement of the possibility of a Gruden hire.

Same here.

I know I have not been here very long or posted much, but want everyone to know I love reading all your posts. I am very grateful to all the OGs for sticking your neck out there and bringing all the great info to all of us. May each one of you have a very Happy Thanksgiving. It truly seems as if all the VolNation will have alot to be thankful for this year. God bless you all.

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.

Freaking quality post here!

Man, I really don't want Jim Mora Jr.

If Mora can leave UCLA after one season, he certainly can at Tennessee.

 

[Titans4Vols]

Well..as I've stated, not fond of Gruden in the slightest, but he has my support none the less.

Here's hoping he leads us back to the promised land.

We're getting Gruden! I don't want Charlie Strong.
