Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVII

[Orange_Vol1321]

Maybe you should watch it again to gather additional evidence. Helton calls many of the plays.

It's obvious to me that Tee would be a liability of an OC at UT if paired with Miles as neither coach QB's or call all of their own plays.

However, pair Tee with Gruden and that's completely different as he coaches the QB's and calls the plays.

I just told you I watched the game. Tee is going to do fine no matter where he ends up.

Hopefully Gruden knows being an announcer is not the ticket, quote unquote easy way out

I’m in Louisville which is about an hour and a half from Cincinnati. I’ll just put my FD uniform on, say it’s official business and ask Jon what’s up? Stay tuned for updates, or if I need bail money

My son went to culinary school at Sullivan in Louisville. Like the place. Have you tried their bakery or restaurant there? Good food! The students do the cooking there.

Hmmm. Some one tweeted at Tony B with the Les rumor and he quoted it with Grumors. Maybe I’m reading too much in to it?

Gruden or Miles

I'm just messin' with ya there Mark.. I'm honestly good either way, contingent upon Les being surrounded by "familiar" and competent people that can work well TOGETHER as a COMPLETE coaching staff

He pulls the craziest **** out of his ass

 

[BIGORANGEINKY]

Also in Louisville. Feel free to let me know what he says.

As you know, the world changes once you cross that river!

 

[NuffSaid1618]

Let's be clear. Up to this point the total budget for coaches appears to be in the $10 to $11 million range including assistants. We aren't going to spend Jimbo Fisher/Nick Saban money while we are in buyout limbo.

My pure guess is a $10 million cap for all coaches going into a building program with a bit of wiggle room for "extraordinary hires". Gruden, Patterson, Peterson, and anybody else at $8 to $11 million a year were never a real option. If you look at the search through this lens, it makes more sense. We are going to get someone like Miles, Pruitt or Steele who we can bring in for around $5 million a year including buyout.

Thunder Thornton is a Tennessee booster who is big buddies with Phil. He is rumored to be one of the boosters involved with Gruden talk. He has a son named Johnny, I believe. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Has three sons and two daughters...

His son's name is Johnny. I was a TA for a geology class that he was in back in the early 2000's.

Maybe he is saying all these Les rumors are just like Grumors? They are starting to feel that way. I don't see any legitimate reports, just message board chatter.
