Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVIII

[sdvolunteer]

Absolutely some of my favorite places in Ireland. I’m very partial to Killarney, Cork, and Dingle. N. Ireland is up there, too.

Freshest berries are in Dingle!

What did behr say?

He had a lady call him who congratulated him on our "New" coach. He went on to say her son would be in the know.

 

[BIGORANGEFISH]

Would people really prefer if he said no on the air? That would be like getting punched in the face.

He looked nervous to me.. when he was done talking about Steelers blitzes and he's standing there.. he is fidgeting that remote like crazy!

I thought the same thing! Soon.

We did the Giant’s footsteps in Northern Ireland. Belfast was super depressing though.

We were actually on a trip to Scotland and did a side trip to Ireland. My family is Scottish and from up around Inverness - Truly God’s country...

Ok. I have been on the Gruden train since 2012 despite the ridicule from my friends. AND I still believe he wants to coach at UT now. Zero comments from the athletic department and from Gruden is just not right. Gruden has "hinted" he is interested just increasing the speculation. We have reason to believe.

The university needs to say we are reaching out to gauge interest or say something to the effect we are not pursuing him.

He needs to accept the job, turn down the job publicly, or do what some other coaches have done by saying "no one has contacted me".

I respect the university can't tell the fans everything that is going on in a coaching search. Respect that. But to let expectations be set and not addressed either way???

Time to crap or get off the pot as momma used to say! Will somebody please say something!!! Cause I feel like it"s December 27th and I still can't open my Christmas gifts!


Soon...

 

[BIGORANGEFISH]

'Sup. Fish?? Is your body ready???

IPA stocked and good and cold!

Hahahahahaha. Liked

 

[nirwin]

So he announces that he's leaving ESPN tonight, then tomorrow morning he's introduced as the new head coach of...Florida State.

 

[Dtj64]

If it's not Gruden to the hill. It'll be Miles over the hill.

 

[GhostVol]

Behr knows it’s Gruden. He hasn’t came back.

Edit - I hope he knows!!

Again, fits with the weird....

I've mostly just commented "I want Gruden" beyond anything else because I don't have any inside info...... But I've paid attention to people who have claimed insider info.

It's been here, there, and the other place but the general thread amongst them has been pretty much the same.

First it was, "TN is gonna make a run at him for real this time!" And really, that's all most of us wanted.

Then it was "WE GOT 'IM!" Then we didn't....

Turns out it was the Haslams (and their stooge, Currie) that torpedoed it.

But then, Currie (and by extension, the Haslams) trotted out Schiano and his PSU connection caused VN to reVOLt.

Which led to Curries firing (after a week of utter S**T) and Fulmer being installed. Which also led to the de-fanging of the Haslams. Which was a WONDERFUL thing! I could go on and on about what I think of the Haslams but not here.

Now, this re-sets the whole Gruden thing. He (Gruden) didn't want to work for Currie (who is an a** by all accounts) and by extension for the Haslams.

Now Fulmer goes in to talk to Gruden again, Gruden says meh..... Fulmer has to go in again and explain to him that he'll be working WITH Fulmer (not FOR him) and that the Haslams have been put in time-out.

In the meantime, Fulmer lines up another coach (Miles) who would take the job in a heart-beat (for various reasons) as a back-up.

Gruden finally realizes that the "political" system in the ADpt has been rectified and today he says yes.

Serious tin-foil hat stuff but it explains everything that has happened up to now......
