Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVIII

[MarkVols]

Lol, it's "SHOWOFF".

Spellcheck lol

 

[Achilles]

You heard fro PV that Gruden is a woman?

He just said Gruden’s not what everyone seems to believe... or something like that. I can’t remember exactly how he said it.

 

[volgr]

I honestly feel like fulmer didn't open the check book

Whatever the outcome, Fulmer deserves no blame.

 

[UTSuave’]

Whatever the outcome, Fulmer deserves no blame.

Not blaming him,just stating you could assume that with him not having AD experience,I would have expected this especially when you have les miles at a bargain price desperately wanting to coach

 

[Kid Deezy]

Hey folks, people do come here and read every post. There are many comments on other possible coaches. If you don't mind, could you please move those conversations over to the coaching prospect thread and be mindful of people who spend time here? Thanks guys!!

Ummm I thought this thread was kind of about everything now?

And before we get started, a public service announcement...

This is not just a thread about Gruden. It encompasses all things coaching search related and is an awesome conduit to pass on information along those lines. For those that feel the need to step in and say "Why are these threads still going?/You people are stupid!/Please just let this die!" please refrain.

It's very simple. If you can't read about a page and see what's going on, please leave without comment. It does you no good to say such things without knowing the depth of what we discuss in here. It's like 70% OT, 15% Alcohol, 5% Coaching Search, 5% poking fun at each other and 5% Gruden.

Kindly read before posting and enjoy the ride.

Cheers.

Does anyone think there is possible correlation between the JT comment last night and now the Thornton Camp comment?

 

[tvolsfan]

Yea weren't you tweeting a bunch of stuff about Gruden?

If it’s the same guy, I don’t think he mentioned Gruden.

 

[Vol423]

Simple response: win your conference and STFU. Somebody always be whining.

Thanks for emphasizing my point for me. Somebody will whine no matter what they do with the playoff structure. There is no reason to change anything.

 

[kemotoe]

Not many people really know how 'close' Gruden was before the Schiano debacle. It may have just been some boosters putting out info to put pressure on Currie/Haslam.

You guys should not hang all hope on Gruden. It's starting to look like it isn't happening. While I would love it, the tea leaves are starting to show.

Don't reject any hire that isn't Gruden just because it isn't Gruden. We were looking at a Schiano/Doeren hire. Let that sink in.

 

[Hawkpilot]

Lol, Hawk swooping in.

 

[Sara Clark]

Well Kid....If you would have been here longer than a hot minute, you would get it! Please move possible coaching options to a more appropriate thread please. Not sure why you seem to have a problem with that.

In the meadow we can build a Grudeman

And pretend he hasn’t turned us down

We’ll say are you coming? He’ll say no man

But I’ll come visit when I’m in town

Yup. The NCAA tournament has 68 teams and people still complain. As they will when it goes to 96.

 

[Dudleys87]

Not the kind of news I was hoping for

 

[UTN '74]

Whatever the outcome, Fulmer deserves no blame.

That remains to be seen. The statement is too broad!

 

[txbo]

You have thrown all logic out the window. Polls are represented by dozens of folks, and collectively, well over 100 voices would be on the ballot. Equal regional representation removes the bias for voters in a specific region. In other words, SEC guys will stick their necks out for the SEC and Pac-12 guys will do the same for the teams out west and so forth. Averaging does nothing more than find the sweet spot for each team. This is not a PhD level math assignment.

If subjectivity doesn't belong in football, then you should be entirely against a panel of 13 (or 10, or 12, or 15) calling all the shots, no?

I am. As I said earlier, I'd like to see a 6-8 team playoff with conference champs getting an automatic bid.

If Phil wanted Les before it’s probably always been Les a courtesy call was just in order

can’t have it both ways !!

I still don’t understand how the p12 champ was left out

 

[Saddlecricket]

Good day all vol fans! Hope everyone is doing well. Such an up and down roll coaster but last time I remember when you ride one you stay on until the end. Don't want to jump off its a very dangerous fall. Stay strong everyone! Go Vols!!

You can't do 6...either 4 or 8. 6 would require buys and that's too big of an advantage.

 

[VolFan32]

Beav has been quiet.

 

[columbia vol]

Midol? Anyone?
