Official Jon Gruden Thread VII

[Jake]

I can't fight it anymore. After reading the blog I did this morning, I can't help but get excited.

That's what I'm talking about!!!

 

[RagingOrange]

Not at all. Not even close to the same thing.

Ok, anybody but you....


Kidding.

 

[cawVOL07]

I forgot what it was now. I was too busy washing my jorts and conditioning my mullet.

Such hostility, I asked a simple question and you avoid it first because i spelled Meyer wrong and now this?

wtf

 

[volatil]

Isn't that like being the best player in the minor leagues or just an avg. player in the big leagues?

Spurrier??? Good thing this isn't the big leagues. OH YEAH check out his ring he won in said BIG LEAGUE.

Being a highly successful coach in today's SEC is quite an accomplishment. Winning a college football title when the 4 game playoff is implemented will also be a significant accomplishment.

As long as he keeps recruiting the demi-gods, he doesn't have to lead the war. He just needs to defend Mt. Olympus.

Thunderbolts and lightning
Very very frightening

More people know who Saban is and who he coaches than the HC for the Falcons.

More people know who Chip Kelly coaches than the HC for the Chiefs

And our modern day Junior & Lulu....

They might want to look into militarizing that helmet; looks close to combat ready.

Feeling better than yesterday but that's not saying much.

You got the crud too? Kids are germ magnets. I've never been sick as often until I had kids.

I know exactly how you feel and that's a perfect comparison, but I'll have to admit, I'll be 100x more let down in this situation compared to when Peyton chose Denver, if we're spurned by Gruden.

I'm definitely a Titans fan...but "fan" doesn't begin to describe how I feel about this University. It's like....family.

 

[Volwark]

In Tennesssee, if you win you become bigger than the governor. Not sure you can say that about any NFL job. That goes for a lot of SEC schools.

To put it another way, the difference between a star in the minors and an average player in MLB is pay. Pro and college football coaching, not so much.

 

[VolsCigarMan]

OV, Boro, Lex -Anybody hearing anything who the new DC could be? I heard maybe Zook and maybe Steele, any other names being floated out there.

Also, who would the reruiting coord. be? Zook, T.Martin, Graham?????

Just curious

Gruden being hired in the nfl wouldn't be huge news in your opinion?

What part?

Like I said...for that...Toss a coin...lots of folks argue different ways...

Me personally, I think they are going to get it right this time...they have to, or they may as well dismantle everything and build another Ed building on the site...this fanbase is hungry, its tired, its fed up...its not the matresses burning I worry about anymore...its the AD...

As for my job...we usually know who is coming a few weeks in advance...and it happens...every time...

Oh, I feel very confident we will get it right this time. Were you talking about your job when you said "we usually get our guy?"

 

[volgr]

Mad props to MWR for the recent Gruden .gif's. Good work sir!! They keep getting better and better.

 

[The Waco Kid]

Such hostility, I asked a simple question and you avoid it first because i spelled Meyer wrong and now this?

Meyer was worth the 2 titles, but look where/how he left us at the same time.

I think the difference in some ways as well is UF could afford it. can UT afford to be wrong financially with 50 million tied up for just the head coach?

My statement still stands. We pay coaches too much money.

 

[Jake]

Gruden being hired in the nfl wouldn't be huge news in your opinion?

I know you weren't addressing me...but it will be a bigger deal if he comes to UT! Everyone expect(ed)s him to go NFL

 

[GmanTN]

Gruden being hired in the nfl wouldn't be huge news in your opinion?

Not as big as it will be at UT

 

[RagingOrange]

Oh, I feel very confident we will get it right this time. Were you talking about your job when you said "we usually get our guy?"

Yes.

Let me back up by saying that this whole comment thread came from someone saying that we cant hire anybody with out announcing, waiting, etc....

I find that laughable because thats the way its supposed to work where I work as well...but not really...so I feel this is the same idea...they have their guy...the rest is just details.

Thats all. Sorry for the confusion.

You got the crud too? Kids are germ magnets. I've never been sick as often until I had kids.

For about 2 weeks now. Actually it's sinus more than anything. Doc put me on a high powered antibiotic. If it doesn't clear they may have to vacuum it out.
