Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVIII

[volfan1631]

For what ever it's worth???

They're saying that Davenport is with Fulmer and Peyton in NYC and there's over 100 coaches there.

Sounds like the place to be if your an AD searching for a coach.

 

[BIGORANGEFISH]

This is a very easy question to answer. Ever play monopoly? If you tell what property is your favorite, suddenly people who land on it Jack up the sale price. If you act like it's not big deal you can negotiate from a place of strength.

Dear Lord, keep Bev away from the coaches.

You don't get to that position without being able to turn on the charm. I am confident she can do that when needed.

I have family who is a president at a major university. The people in DC would be envious of his political skills.

 

[volgr]

He could be tired of all the Grumors also.

Well, he could them to rest very quickly.

 

[Gtown RNG]

Good grief I’m getting old. Steve Young looks like he is in his 70’s.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Screw Les - if we go that route just make Tee the HC - and powerhouse staff and A+ recruiters. Don't need Les.

Hiring Les Miles as HC with "Tee in waiting" is just silly. Nobody was talking to Les or trying to hire him. Do you think when Tee said he would be open to being OC if the right coaching hire was made...do you think Les Miles is a HC hire that Tee would jump to work for? I don't see the appeal of Les. No other teams want him but thats kinda the sort of coach UT always hires, aint it?

 

[wildorange]

I'm with you man. I guess the only point to my question is why all the secrets and smoke screens? What purpose does it serve? I was just curious about that. I'm 100 percent Gruden.

I understand, no problems.:rock:SOON!

She is bat crap crazy, did you see her at the presser? She isn't impressive.

You can be an entirely different person when it's you and 2 or 3 others as opposed to you and the national spotlight.

There is a difference in publicly speaking about a topic you know very little about (football) and working a room.

 

[VFL2098]

Showoff/Knuck. You guys have any thoughts on Grudens comments. Do you think that’s the answer we was looking for?

Exactly. You beat me to it.

 

[Pete Carpet]

Sorry for your loss preacher but you know as I with my mother, the peace of her going to her heavenly home.

Hopefully she is better in 1 on 1 conversations and not in the spotlight

They won’t be around to answer sorry

 

[UTN '74]

General comment: I wish Freak added a thumbs down button. Then there would be less reason to comment/respond to trolls.

 

[Grayvol4life]

They won’t be around to answer sorry

I sure as hell hope not. But probably.

They are not available right now. However, did send a pic from outside Peyton's private dinner.....

While we continue to wait for the savior with the bowl cut, does anybody else around here think Suzy Kolber is hot?

I don't remember ever feeling this way until Broadway Joe got ****canned and tried to kiss her on MNF. but it also seems like she changed her look after that.

 

[LAVol1]

Still waiting but oh so worth the wait.

My fav scotch. Have a small glass for me. One ice cube. It was $200/bottle in Edinburgh the last time I was there. The cute girl selling it said if I'd buy she would come back to America and help me drink it.

 

[Gtown RNG]

He said half stuff not all

Yep....went back and listened again. Sean was talking about a radio show he was listening to today and one of the callers asked if Coach Gruden would consider the NY job.

Jon: “ eh don’t believe half that stuff you read or hear Sean”

 

[RagingOrange]

I figured if anything happens it will be half time or the end of the game. It's half time.

Pushin that timeline back 😉😂

 

[TheRealSmokey]

Gruden was the emcee (in 2011) at the event Peyton is at tomorrow. So I assume he's invited back yearly as a guest. Its been described as the "who's who" in attendance.

Couldn't a verbal offer have been given, with a face to face happening tomorrow? A deal will either be signed tomorrow (thus all the chatter about tomorrow/Wed), or we'll move on and sign Plan B (one of Phil's interviews the last three days)?

If not, who haven't we interviewed that we want? And if no one is left, why wait to let the leaks out (even if you can't hold a presser til after NYC)?

 

[knoxvillevolntr]

Significant that Davenport is there with Fulmer. Remember the Schianomo! As such, two signatures required to sign off MOU. I would think either with the 100 coaches in attendance or their flight plan tomorrow, I expect someone in front of a microphone no later than Wed introduced. Pittsburgh is short plane ride from NYC.

 

[TruVolGritt]

Nah dude, don't do that... Unless you got one of just the deer. Always up for seeing a fellow hunters kill. Bow or gun?

I'm a paraplegic so I had to use a rifle, used an AR I completely built so that was sweet 225 yrs never knew what hit him I was impressed.....I do miss my archery gear. I use a crossbow as well but it is not the same as a bow. The buck I got today will score 130s 3 1/2 not bad for a cripple hunting a high pressured area.
