Official Jon Gruden Thread XI

[Oldvol75]

Personally I was told the 30th. That is the date I was told a couple of weeks ago. I really don't care what date it's announced, just that it is.

 

[DAVOLS#1]

still 100% Gruden......but as we get closer I have this feeling that UT will screw up again!!!

 

[Thrasher865]

I think you should tell him how close it really is...honestly, whats the harm?

If it's not announced in the next 25 minutes, I'll be really surprised. Shocked, even.

Kingston I said this thread will be hostile if he doesn't come and you said get ready. You think it's not Gruden?

He doesn't know.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

I disagree... An announcement today, although would be a splash, would be old news on Saturday. Not saying it is what's happening, but you will have a lot of viewers Saturday, if it is fresh news it will be discussed in front of a huge audience, great for recruiting.

Gruden would not be old news by Saturday. Gruden will not be old news by New Years. It's a huge boulder splash which will ripple for a while.

I think if the timing of the announcement has anything at all to do with media coverage, that's a fair point to consider.

If we were announcing a fairly big time hire, we would want to announce far away from any sort of event like the SECCG, because we would want to get coverage, not compete with the big game.

If we were announcing a jaw dropping hire (Gruden), we would want to announce right before the SECCG to take media coverage away from the rest of the SEC.

Of course, the timing could have nothing to do with that, or the rumor could be altogether false.

disagree. media is going to be focusing largely on this game. would be nice having the orange T all over tv at the same time.

Dude, this statement is so yesterday morning.

OV is playing to everyone's weakness.

Playing us like a fiddle. And the dude is Charlie Daniels.

RT @KySportsRadio: OFFICIAL: KSR can confirm Mark Stoops will be named Kentucky football coach this afternoon

 

[Captainzach1]

I can't believe this hasn't leaked from somewhere. I mean nothing.

 

[gardners_51609]

I think you misunderstood my post.

haha, You are crazy, thrash...

 

[MFL]

Truth. There will be a meltdown of epic proportions.

and rightly so

 

[NMVol]

The thing, guys who will be calling the SEC game are going to have some discipline, just like the team did last night on MNF. If JG is hired its going to get a mention in the SECCG but its not going to be the overriding story. That's just the way it is.

 

[RagingOrange]

OV's a troll. Probably never even set foot inside a football stadium, much less Neyland.

[bignewt]

The Gruden train is heading for the cliff that is Friday. Will we fall to our death or rise as an SEC Phoenix to glory?

 

[Godfatha]

Too bad CBS is doing the championship. If it was ABC/ESPN I could see Gruden on the halftime or pre game shows.
