Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVIII

[93TNVol]

I had stepped out of the Gruden thread for a while. Anyone got a quick update? Is he in play not in play.. new Info?

He isn't dead and hasn't said no...yet.

 

[Harvester]

Or he’s helping put a staff for JG...

You don't wast time interviewing Morris last night if that was the case.

DukeSilverVol on VQ..

"After much deliberation, gathering facts, I have made my decision.. and I am firmly BACK IN on Jon Gruden as our next HC. "

And who is this dude?

 

[Spider2Ynot]

Wtf you doing with monkeys up your butt?

dont threaten me with a good time

 

[Grand Vol]

Adorable.

 

[{OrangeBlooded}]

You don't wast time interviewing Morris last night if that was the case.

In fairness, you don’t waste time interviewing Morris period if Les is the backup plan. I don’t put too much stock in hubbs report of where Phil went considering he couldn’t find Phil.

There's something to be said for this. I believe Gruden had a face to face yesterday, after phone talks Saturday and Friday. I don't think that a face to face would have happened without papers being delivered. And I have a hard time thinking papers would be delivered without having a good idea of the answer first.

My comments about Miles were to speculate why we are hearing so much of it. Not to suggest that I don't feel good about Gruden.

But of course, we all have to wait and see.

O.K. Now my Grade meter is up to 30%. Where is yours?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but he is the least reliable of the Gruden folks over there. He flipped more than a fish out of water the past few weeks during the search.

 

[Behr]

dont threaten me with a good time

Monkeys eat gerbils?

 

[OrangeSwarm22]

The “it’s Gruden til it ain’t” approach hasn’t worked so far.

It ain’t Gruden til it is.

Time for him to want the job. If he don’t, bring on Miles or my vote bring on Kiffin (which won’t happen).

Unless he’s your #2 guy. PF isn’t going to let himself get caught putting all his eggs in one basket.

We don't know who else was in Dallas.

I admire you folks who actually have the ability to go between VolNation and TOS and know the ins-and-outs

I’m having a heard enough time just keeping up with the one thread let alone multiple

 

[Bluegrass Vol]

If Gruden has been "wooed" as much as UTvolfaninexhile says, and I fully believe him. Why has there not been one article since last Sunday about Gruden. If he didn't take the job, most fans will never believe he was even a candidate.

It's like our own damn media guys don't want/expect UT to go after a big time hire.

 

[JohniusMaximus]

Nervous anticipation drives me crazy. Just put a venison roast with mushroom and carrots in the crock pot. Hoping it ends up being the best celebration dinner ever.

 

[Wild @s a Mink]

I got a text back from Chad:

"no word yet"

I'm still waiting...

Lordy aren’t we all

But a serious thanks for all your info and follow ups!:thumbsup:

So did our AD.

 

[lifeVol]

We don't know who else was in Dallas.

And we don't know whether Hubbs has a clue what he is reporting, though I have a guess whether he does or not

 

[Grand Vol]

Unless he’s your #2 guy. PF isn’t going to let himself get caught putting all his eggs in one basket.

Ding Ding Ding!

 

[90 Vol]

If CPF is putting together a whole staff without a HC, we are screwed.

Is it possible that Fulmer is putting together a staff at the behest of a HC that we already have and hasn't been announced yet?

Phil's gone rogue? Guess we're getting Leach after all.

 

[VolFan32]

Bruce Feldman is reporting Venables and Morris.

Two names to keep in mind as the #Tennessee coaching has re-set: #Clemson DC Brent Venables & #SMU head coach Chad Morris. Folks close to Phil Fulmer are big believers in them.

 

[RockyTopSC]

Miles, Morris, Steel...it's a good list?

If we helped fight off Currie and Haslam for that, we have been had.

If we had not fought them off you would of had Schiano.

 

[Vol_atile]

It can be dangerous to pick a staff for someone. Most of the best leaders want to pick their own staff.

Unless said leader gave him a list to see who was viable.

 

[jutvols]

Well when gruden is hired I'm having the biggest steak they got and going home and giving my woman the best loving she's ever had lol.
