Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVIII

[DustyRockSolid]

Serious question. Whats with all the secrecy and "smoke screens" all the time when it comes to UT coaching searches? Why does everyone think that every bit of information that comes out about UT coaching searches is a smoke screen? If 90 percent of the information that comes out from the AD and the local sports media is false, or not false but serving the job of "hiding whats really going on".... my question is why? Whats the point of making the media and fanbase think you're trying to interview and consider a certain group of coaches when you're not? What is the point of all this secret stuff? Why would you not just come out and publicly say "These are the coaches that are at the top of the list. These are the guys we are looking at"? I dunno.. I want Gruden but all these fan made conspiracy theories about why they aren't saying Gruden and why they arent saying we at least contacted him just makes no sense. I could very well be wrong and maybe I just don't understand the reason why you would ignore the fanbase wanting Gruden and all the Grumors and not one time say anything about Gruden. Can anyone help me understand what the point of being so secretive is? I really want him. He is my number 1.

 

[FacelessArya]

Meh I don't know. No one at this point knows anything. If it was Mikes it would be all over the place. With that said I am going to bed.

Night night, Knuck.

If it was Miles, how come we ain’t got him yet? We could have had him 5 secs after Friday’s presser was over.

 

[DownTheField]

Gruden laughing all the way to the bank. Suckers! Phillip will announce his decision on a new coach and hopefully the dreamers on here will come face to face with reality.

listen man, a lot of people around here do fall for and believe a lot of troll crap, but there have been at least two very credible news outlets go to press on this very real tennessee-gruden relationship...that's the reality and, apparently, you haven't come to face to face with it

 

[Dtj64]

I read somewhere that Fulmer had a budget of $25 million over 5 years for our next coach. That's about half of what it will take to get Jon Gruden. It might get Jay though.

 

[volfanatic74]

Imma do like +12 or some sheet. That's some funny stuff right thar.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Yea those people in the Peterson thread are crazy.

I dropped into the Petersen thread and posted that my "Petermeter is at 70%." Maybe it'll catch on.

 

[EZE]

I would think Wednesday so not to take away from PM tomorrow.

Good point.

 

[TruVolGritt]

Just in from hunting got a really good 11point this evening so I am behind what have I missed any thing cryptic I need to decipher? Just turned on MNF.....lil help?

 

[Dudleys87]

It’s crazier to think this happens:

Gruden
Martin
Steele
Chavis
Fair
Graham
Meach
Pitman
Clausen

Then this

HC Gruden

 

[Orangefrenzy71]

I feel like I've been hearing 24-48 hours ever since the Georgia game.

 

[gunner]

Why? At least with Les we know what we're getting, we have no idea what we'd be getting in Gruden.

Also it is the right move to force his hand, can't have it hanging over the program like that, make him say yes or no and if it's no we can move to our next target.

Considering we were thisclose to getting Schiano or Doeren, we should be damn lucky if we can get Les

Les is a good fit. But, he will certainly need to overcome his weakness which is his inability to develop QB's. He will need to hire the right OC that can call the offense and develop the QB's and that's NOT Tee Martin, he's a WR coach and an excellent recruiter.

 

[Grayvol4life]

This is one delusional collection of folks. Give it up

Grudenor bust all over your face. Imo

 

[Squints]

no, no you are not the king..not even close..but they are funny..

self appointed kings never last.

I wasn't self-appointed, but thanks for giving me the credit. :good!:

 

[EZE]

Yea those people in the Peterson thread are crazy.

No crazier than anybody else.

 

[RagingOrange]

Meh I don't know. No one at this point knows anything. If it was Mikes it would be all over the place. With that said I am going to bed.

That I can get behind.

Bring Randy Sanders back as QB coach, problem solved

 

[kyvolsfan]

Gruden seems chipper tonight. Last week he wasn’t himself. He didn’t have his usual fire. Probably wishful thinking, but I’m convinced.

He seems like he might have been into the scotch before the game. He has called Antonio Brown, Antonio bryant like 5 times already.

 

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

Gruden keeps making references to college football! Gotta be a sign!

Hey I ask this question earlier and some one named 2thecheckerboards or something like that told me these questions aren’t allowed here anymore. Lol


Really not much going on. Some say an announcement will be made tomorrow and some say Wednesday.

Gruden to the Hill

Yes!

 

[VFL97]

College football mention. See, it's on his mind.

This budget is before the boosters and the Cleveland Browns donate. Johnny Football will be OC
