Official Jon Gruden thread XLI

[revjayp]

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.

 

[VFLnSFD]

Unless they give him a farewell game

Exactly. This HUGE national story breaks in Sunday, viewership for MNF doubles to see the big farewell.

 

[Lulu]

If the question means next year, I agree. I think he would be able to finish this season.

He can't recruit and do MNF...just doesn't sound like that would be allowed.

 

[Dudleys87]

I wouldn't say 100%, I just think its unlikely.

NFL has been declining and announcing such a huge story that would draw attention away from the game just doesn't make sense to me. But I really don't know.

One fact. We gone find out. Soon.

It’s the time line for me.

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

Safe travels SFD and may the vacation magic give you and your clan memories that will last a lifetime!

 

[Dudleys87]

You have nothing to base that off of...

Sure I do.

The timing wouldn’t make any sense unless it comes out Saturday that Gruden and ESPN couldn’t come to an agreed $ amount.

There is a process for some type of a waiver. Meyer got one when he took the Ohio St. job while still working for ESPN.

I took Thanksgiving off of the thread, can someone give the cliff notes version of anything from yesterday? Much appreciated

Black Friday is the Friday before you play Vanderbilt, loser finishes winless and last in SEC.

LWS saying he thinks it’s Petersen. If Gruden turned us down. He’s 1b for me.

I never ever thought those words could be beside Tennessee..

Just came to post same thing. Petersen would be a big time hire. It would justify all the insider talk about us going big. Fingers crossed.

 

[Orangeslice13]

How's Red doing?

Short, big boobs, and sexy as hell.





She’s been feeling a little better the past month or so. Trying not to get too excited in case of relapse but definitely headed in the right direction.

Thanks

Assuming the reports are right that the recruits have been told they will know who the new HC is before leaving the game. I think we'll know Saturday night!

If they turn it into a show and plug him as UT coach on MNF, I would be shocked and am 99% sure it won’t happen. That would almost draw in as much hate and scrutiny as Lebrons The Decision. National media and people all over hate UT now. Could you imagine the backlash if they use MNF to promote Gruden’s return to coaching at UT.

That’s just the way I see it anyway

Why you so high on Mullen? lol

Btw. I’m still full Gruden until Petersen is at the podium or anyone else for that matter.

 

[supersmo18]

They had it for $180. Finally done, but of course we now have to wait on the bg check to process. Said they'll call, so we're at cracker barrel.

Uncle Herschel’s breakfast. Yum. It’s got to be crazy busy down there around the entrance/exit ramps in East Ridge right now.

I thought the OVs got pushed until next weekend? This weekend is UOVs. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

Because we could worse...

First game I ever went to was the same scenerio.Battle left a bad team,Majors' first. We won and there were a lot of good things after that and before now.
With the right coach Gruden or maybe one other I think we can get back to Championship level teams relatively fast. Hang in there brother.

You didn’t miss much. Nothing new other than a small wave of Chris Petersen talk. We talked BasketVols during the game, what everyone ate and a little bit about the games that were on. We all collectively threw up when Fitzgerald broke his leg. Other than than, nothing much. I’m not GV but that’s the best I can do. 👍🏼

I agree, Im just not saying its an absolute.

I think anyone involved in the decision making, wouldn't want to turn MNF into a Gruden to Tennessee circus. Not being very respectful to the two coaches and teams playing Monday night.

Edit: I removed the being honest part. Decided I didn't want to be. Lulz.
