Official Jon Gruden Thread X

Sometimes you play both sides to drive up traffic. Sometimes you do it to a point where you seem like a clueless twerp. Congrats, Tony you have found that line and crossed it several times.

 

[Wilson27]

I have listened to Tony for 15 years. This is how he operates. He is a huge raslin' fan so Friday was like a good angle for him. He was playing heel while everyone was hating him and loving it.

Golden doesn't even make it off the bench and into the on-deck circle.

I agree I am going to be pissed if it is Golden.

 

[rocovol]

Don't really listen to local media but I'm a daily volnation guy so I'm anxious to see what all the naysayers say when Gruden is hired.

I here you on that I think Hyams will get it the most since he came out yesterday and said he thought it was a 5 % chance of getting gruden.

 

[Sgt_Nick_Fury]

I love it!

Thanks honestly I just wanted to find a way to use the chic.....so....perfect.

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

Because people like to sound like they are cool

I love cool people. Sending you a friend request.

I don't know if he is even playing both sides. This might be the approach the AD is taking--presenting a list of three candidates plus Gruden to the $$$. But, it could be a stacked deck and the decision already made.

Peyton is one of the $$$. He is not going to have any part to play in UT screwing his buddy.

I'll try to support him but I don't know, I may quit cheering for UT.

Personally if it came down to J Fisher or Stoops I would go with Fisher..... He has more to prove than Stoops - It would seem to me that Fisher would be hungrier than Stoops.

Plus FSU has the best defense in the country, statistically whereas Oky is ranked 41 and defense wins championships!

Basilio has presented no less proof than anyone in this thread has, which is to say, none.

I am guessing the local media gets the majority of their info from within the AD and it is locked down tight.

Here's something that stuck out from TB's blog to me...

Q: Who were the mystery candidates you talked about last Friday at Hardee's? A: Yes. It was an on air tease. For that I'm sorry. I was sworn to secrecy.

...TB admittedly makes statements to "tease" his listeners. Bad dog owners "tease" their dogs.

Don't let yourself be treated like a bad dog.

There is no scenario in which Gruden wants to come for an agreed deal and Tennessee opts out. No way.

Tennessee cooling on Gruden is an absurd notion.

Bro...I'm too full to laugh. Cut that out.

Dang. I was beginning to wonder if everybody lost their sense of humor today. Btw, just had my "Im still full, but Im getting some of that mac n cheese" moment.

 

[volfan411]

I said that after Kentucky last year but it is not that easy no matter how mad I was at Dooley I could not cheer for the Vols.

So I am sure I will be cheering next year and Golden may be a great hire just not the splash we all would want.

TB can go from heel to baby face back to heel in less than a day.

Don't forget that line!

I would take what recruits are being told now with a grain of salt. I highly doubt our current commitments won't be reevaluated by the new staff. I wouldnt treat The 3-4 day thing any differently.

It is not the recruit's fault but I expect more than a few will be asked to look around.

Golden just reminds me of Dooley way too much.

HA! Yeah, he will tell you flat out he is in the entertainment business and not a journalist. He isn't pompous at least like so many "journalist" in this town.

 

[Obsessed]

Don't forget that line!

You still pretty confident ??
