Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

[C-town Vol]

Would have been fine with me if they did it after MSU. That was a game that a well coached team on the rise wins. We lost by 10. Should have had an interim the following Monday.

I agree with this...I know I was off the Dooley train after the MSU game...it all became clear then that he is inept

This announcement is a week late. Might have played for a bowl.

Try 2 years to late

In the very end, Derek Dooley re-united this fan base. Against him.

Dude the guy is fired and the players knew it. Tough spot for everybody.

I understand that but he sucked before he was fired. I don't feel sorry for him, will be surprised if he is head coach again on fbs level

 

[ukvols]

The logic that I heard repeated about this (not saying if I subscribe or not) is that those in charge still wanted a chance at a bowl game. Their thinking was that putting in an interim was too destabilizing and would show the players that you were basically forfeiting the season.

If it ever became clear that we couldn't make a bowl game, the trigger would be pulled.

Rumors were strong that Dooley was privately told he was done.
To me, it sounded illogical to set a bowl game as the goal and put it in the hands of a guy you just fired.

Whatever DD does next it had better not be a defense lawyer. He has no clue on building a defense.

GA could play for the bcs championship. Just sayin!

 

[RikidyBones]

UGA/Bama vs whoever else in NC.

I was off after the 2nd half of Florida game.

Solid post

 

[UTBasketball2]

I didn't want a SEC team in the NCG.

 

[ramvol7]

Stanford wins!

 

[patrick]

Looks like the SEC will play in the Natl Ch. again!!!!

 

[Sheath Huler]

Um, can we hire David Shaw?

Sadly, he's way too good for the current state of this program.

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

Do you think Kelley will be more willing to take another coaching position now that he can't get to the NC game?

I kid, I kid.

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

**** Dooley.

 

[volatil]

Well actually he should have never had this job.

 

[ukvols]

I think it is sad that in 3 weeks Dooley has gone from a coach in way over his head to the most hated man in East Tennessee. Didn't have to be that way, but it is.

Exactly. That could have been avoided.

 

[cutnitclose]

CDD just said we will see you next week at the UK game..

He won't see me..

 

[joshc]

Well at least the entire fan base is united again.

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

They are united until the AD fires Dooley and makes a hire. Hopefully it is the right one or it will be a house divided. Of that I am certain.

 

[VOLout8]

Get Gruden, eff the rest.

 

[C-town Vol]

Lex...
Do you think Dooley coaches next week against Kentucky?

 

[crparker21]

I didn't want a SEC team in the NCG.

I actually want sec to. I want to be on top of this conference when it's the best. Not when there is 2 or 3 good teams like the 90's. Gruden please hurry!
