Official Jon Gruden Thread XI

[orange parmejohn]

You get an F in public relations.

you give him that high?

 

[jasonvol18]

Yeah, his spread option offense and 3-2-6 defense really translate well to the NFL...

LMAO!

You need to stop listening to whoever thinks Chip Kelly will ever coach a National Football League game.

I wouldnt be so sure about that. He will get offers to coach the NFL. Just a matter of if he takes it or not.

The biggest thing that I keep going back to pertains to hubbs. I have stated numerous times he will be the one that breaks it that gruden is out if that ever is the case.

Hubbs posted yesterday something that mirrored nearly exactly my thoughts. He said that UT would/should either announce gruden this week or let the public know he is out.

He obviously doesn't know that gruden is out and it's my belief that if gruden was out hart would leak that info to hubbs.

Hart is smart enough to know this fanbase must hear its not gruden before anybody else is hired. That hasn't happened yet and for that reason gruden is very much in play IMO

Solid post

You will then begin to see the true Grudenites, as the coattail hangers begin to fall away...should get pretty peaceful up in hurrr...or go all to h377 quick...I think this weekend is a deal breaker for most fence riders...

Im in until I see podium day...

I have been in since 10-30-12 , and will keep my seat on the S.S. Minnow til we see dry land or a tropical isle .

 

[crparker21]

I'm not so sure that David Shaw isn't my new number two. I had been stuck on Stoops and Strong. I wouldn't hesitate to offer Shaw 3 mill.

Any reason he would leave his alma mater though? I just dont see it.

From the article I posted:

From the article I posted:

Quote:
Moos, the athletic director at WSU, was using a private credit card to further the veil of secrecy. He didn't enlist a so-called "head hunter" search firm, opting instead for a trusted friend from Eugene, Ore., to act as third party.

Until he came face-to-face with Leach in a Marriott hotel on the island, it was all done through intermediaries. "We never had a conversation until that day," Moos says.

Is a MOOs in any way related to a MOU?

I think Shaw would get a look from the NFL.

Cash + cheaper cost of living= strong consideration.

Let's not screw up our rescue the way the original Minnow crew did...how many times could they have gotten off of that island......

 

[Lexvol]

Wouldn't shock me a bit. He fits the UT mold of success (run the ball and play defense) as well as anybody else on the board.

 

[VOLout8]

"[T]rust me when I say that they have been told by some that it's a PR nightmare to let this fester if you are not hiring him.

I don't know why no one has put it to bed if you're not hiring him. I think it's a mistake by the AD to continue to allow it to be a possibility if it's not a possibility. So that leads me back to "I gotta see it to believe it" instead of saying there no chance..

From the cliff notes SIAP

Yea he is not 2 on my list because I didn't think him a real candidate. If he were, he would be 2.

 

[jasonvol18]

It would apply because he is talking to current coaches it doesn't matter if he is currently coaching or not.

Exactly. He is asking for college open positions and not for AU or pig nation..Vols, B!

 

[DeusExMachina]

if you believe this, you're completely delusional. I'm just having fun at your expense, since I think all Grudenites are special-needs people......

You know what, you guys?? I've read every post in Gruden 1-11, and you've convinced me. J.D. Gruden is the man that will bring Tennessee football back to prominence, and I have realized the error of my ways. I want to join the Grudenite majority, I'm sick and tired of being on the outside of the cool kid group. Please come to Tennessee, Coach Gruden. Your Vol family welcomes you with open arms.

God, that was hard to type......#grudenisstillGARBAGE

We are likethis. I love the idea of Shaw, but I think that is impossible.

 

[tnvols72]

We will end up with a great hire, we are gonna put the money out this time around. We may miss on our top target but we will get a good one.

Tn has to have a great hire not a good hire. Tn future depends on this hire. Harts future at Tn depends on this hire IMO .

 

[Smokey10]

Gruden is a must hire. We can all agree on that. No he hasn't proven himself in the college game BUT fisher and stoops are going to stay at their respected jobs. We will end up with someone horrible if he don't hire Gruden. Hart needs to let Gruden have whatever he wants and see what happens there.

With Ginger and Mary Ann around, why would you want off the island?

 

[AndyMizunogolfer]

Been hearing Chip Kelly's name more than I should in regards to our opening.

He DOES only make 1.9 million and has zero ties to Oregon.

Hmm...

I am pretty sure that Nike will match any offer UT could throw at him.

 

[crparker21]

Cash + cheaper cost of living= strong consideration.

Stanford can offer 3 mill though, he likes the west coast and i think it would be an extremely hard pull. He is a great coach though.

Dibs on Mary Ann!

 

[UTodd01]

Since when do brands pay for college football coaches?

If that's the case, let's hit up ADIDAS for a few more million so we can snag Gruden once and for all.

Unreal...

 

[BJWeeks]

Guy on Ainge show says 99.9% coach has been hired and currently does not have a job

 

[tri_vol]

PT Barnum was right.
