Official Jon Gruden Thread XIV

I finally realized this after the "I'm gonna do a crazy woman beatdown on that man" moment I was having.

It really was perfectly crafted to get that gut check violent 'oh no he didn't' reaction from this fan base that does have a history of burning bedding first and thinking later...lol

It successfully slowed the roll everywhere on the Gruden to UT hype that had gotten way out in front of what the interested parties needed it to be. Once the needed timelines pass I'll be more than shocked to see Jon not in our colors than to see him in them.

He would recruit circles around Dooley. If Skeeter is saying our recruiting class would easily be top 5-10 this year and top 5 next season then I believe him. He knows that next level recruiting Strong takes us too. He is very well respected in Fl and GA and well known. Unlike DD who is not liked. If that doesnt convince you thwn your just being argumentative and wouldnt matter what anybody said.

The rest of the stuff you said is debatable. This is just plain wrong. There's no way Strong would get us in the top 10. Do me a favor and look up his recruiting classes for his ENTIRE career. Not even close to the top 25, how's he gonna suddenly beat out the likes of Stoops, Jimbo, and Mac Brown? No way
 
from a poster on VQ...

Gruden is Haslem's #1 Target...Know for a fact if Hart wins this battle he will be going against the Haslem's. Just received a call back from a good friend that just got off the phone with Gov. Haslem's right hand man. He said he goes wherever Gov. Haslem goes and is with him religiously. He said the Haslem's are swinging for the fence with Gruden. He says they were pursuing Gruden hard and negotiations were not over. He says that all the negative vibes from the TN camp and the Gruden camp was formality and bs. His story was very consistent with Hargis' about money for assistants. Just reading between the lines, the Memphis story and the Chattanooga story's have big time sources. I am not saying this deal is going to happen, but I feel Haslem and Co. are pursing him hard. I can't see Hart winning this battle if Gruden indeed wants this extra money.



Thought it was worth sharing....TIFWIW

I so WANT to beleive this.....but I feel so Charlie Brown....

For those talking about a blow up between Boosters and Hart, I only have one question. If Hart is so disrespected by the BOT and Boosters that they would take it outside of him against his will, why in the hell didn't they just fire him months ago when they supposedly were ready to force Dooley out? Why would they let the person responsible for the AD remain in their current job at the most critical crossroad in the history of UT Football if they didn't trust him or didn't respect him? What many of you are suggesting is that the Boosters and BOT have been working on this for months, but meanwhile they've ignored their disrespect and distrust of the man hired to do the job. That is not only irresponsible, but if true, every single one of us should be just as angry with their incompetence as we are with Hart. But no, we won't get angry at them, because they have the money we need to be successful - so they can do no wrong. I'm not defending Hart because I can't because I don't know what really happened. But if the story is as is being suggested, the Boosters are just as responsible because they didn't handle the Hart problem before this whole process got started.

Haiti bound in 7 hours Grudenites! I'm going to be out of the loop for 7 days.

I missed most of the episode today but caught the cliff notes version tonight and some play-by-play from Patrick. Thanks man!

I'll have very little communications with maybe one day of internet access. However, when I do check back in I expect you guys and gals (that's you PC and Smokey) to have King Gruden in the bag. :)

Hang in there Grudenites. Thanks again Patrick!

I'm all-in 'til we're all out. Gruden 2012!

Whoever the next coach is, I feel sorry for him. A lot of people thought fans weren't patient enough with Dooley. The next guy isn't going to even get that much benefit of the doubt.

That is what I have been saying. We are screwed. WHOEVER is responsible for this cluster**** has turned us into Chernobyl. No matter how good of a coach they are able to get now, he will be swimming upstream. :banghead2:

C'mon man..,,,,7-6, 7-6, followed by a good season... Not awe inspiring..,.not bad but not the second coming

Jesus Christ dude he is starting a program being left in $hitty shape. You will just have to draw your own conclusion after a few top 5 classes. He will be our next coach so if you dont like it then I am sorry and I can say is go pull for Saban, Muschamp, Richt, Miles etc.
