Official Jon Gruden thread XLI

[airvols]

I’ve always thought we would get Gruden because we had 340 million reasons to hire him and we were in desperate need to unite the fan base. It’s going to be a Merry Christmas for Vol fans. While I still don’t think we should be playing Bama every year my opinion, let’s get on with kicking their a$$!

Be ready for this thread to be crawling with people and outsiders next week. You have been warned.

I guess this means you think the announcement stretches into the week? I can't see the name not coming out if the recruiting visits are told on Saturday.

 

[Squints]

Sounds like the leaks have begun. Should be a fun few days. Tell your wife you’ll be back soon. Let’s finish this!

There may be an entire thread solely comprised of Booms!

Gruden to Rocky Top!

Good morning everyone. 1 day closer. I’m off to Dollywood. The land of funnel cakes, 90’s fashion and bluegrass carols. Can’t wait.

IMO, a Sunday announcement doesn’t make any sense for Gruden. I can’t see how he’d do MNF after being named our coach. It’d overshadow the broadcast. Unless, they decided to shoot some promos and are going all in with it. But I just can’t see that.

It's actually the perfect time. He gets announced Sunday then Monday night he calls his last game and gives his good bye speech. It's makes perfect sense and is the right way to do it. It's doubtful he finishes the year and gives him a chance to say good bye to his NFL fans. It absolutely makes the most sense.

LOVE Justified - the only fault is a LOT of damn's fly...otherwise, fantastic show!

 

[LittleDTO]

You guys must believe in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus if you think Gruden is taking the job. They wouldn't wait until the season was over to announce his hiring.

I can make you a great deal on the Golden Gate Bridge that I own. You can get rich, quick, by charging toll fees for all those cars that cross it daily. Don't let anyone else know about this or they will want in on it, too.

Other forums might be right for you.

Best friend had a kahr, shot beautifully, loved it

I bought the wife a kahr 9. To be real it's been a fantastic little gun

Mullen said he was staying at MSU today.

Off topic, but I watched Lawless last night for the second time.

I want to see Tom Hardy in more movies.

That is all.

Talked me in to it. Haven't seen it yet. I have it set to record. Thanks

If Austin Thomas is on this staff, this staff will be headed by Jon Gruden.

I may be only one who does not know who Austin Thomas is

 

[SWFLvol33]

Mullen said he was staying at MSU today.

Not sure what other job he’s waiting on. This would be the year to jump

 

[jasonvol18]

It’s the time line for me.

It wouldn’t make sense to announce Gruden Sunday
Maybe it’s Peterson maybe Patterson
Who knows

How does it not make sense? He gets announced Sunday and Monday is his last game as a MNF host. Makes perfect sense and the most sense. He can tell his fans and audience good bye and he appreciates and has enjoyed his MNF run.

Mullen said he was staying at MSU today.

Wise move.

 

[LAVol1]

Which was wonderful

Justified had the best beginning and best ending of any mini-series. And, a lot of the stuff in between was really awesome. Raylan was like Dirty Harry with a wry sense of humor. One of my favorite scenes:

And Rex Ryan replaces him for the remainder of the year.

 

[MiramarVol]

MSU is gonna step it up and renew his contract to keep him and his staff.

 

[Sara Clark]

Mullen said he was staying at MSU today.

He also said that to his team at the game last weekend!

 

[Rocky Top Elwood]

Just got a text of a picture of Mullen this morning. He was doing a thing with the Salvation Army and he was the only one not in MS St gear. Gawd I hope it's not Mullen...

I dont understand infatuation with this guy ( won’t type his name)!!! He has three 9+ win seasons in last nine years. He!!, Botch had five 9+ win seasons in same time period. Anybody wanna hire him back?

Long time lurker- new to posting. GRUDEN TO THE HILL!!

 

[jpope9]

Not sure what other job he’s waiting on. This would be the year to jump

he's working on that raise and he likes the low pressure at state.

Austin Thomas to Tennessee tells me that Blackburn is already on the job as Gruden's Director of Football Operations. Not officially on the job but effectively on it.

 

[AllVols21]

He's a Tennessee guy at LSU. If he is already projected to be on staff it makes sense for Gruden but not for Petersen. Petersen has no ties to tennessee that I am aware of.

Ahh, ok. Thank you for the clarification.

Doesn't matter the date.

Theyll have me on their hands.

We quit the tradition of The Third Saturday in October and I quit caring about college football.
