Official Jon Gruden Thread XV

[CoachClick]

Anyone know when the induction is over? Is it tonight?

 

[volgr]

Yeah....it was contractual in some respect. I was told at the time that UT was buying out the ESPN contract. Not sure if that meant AD or boosters.

Wow. You think ESPN strong armed him into finishing out the season? They pay a pretty penny to get those games and I could see them not wanting to rock the boat. I will say, Jon didn't seem his usual self last night in the booth.

 

[mrorange211]

Troll on loser. It's what you're good at.

Everybody here has your number.

Wanna meet me at the car wash? Jesus....

You call me out, I call you out. That's how it works.

 

[NightflyingVol]

It's hard to not think this but I can't help it. I just keep thinking our program is being run by a bunch of Bammers. It's like the US government being run by a former Al Qaeda memeber.

There isn't anything as a former Bammer...even if they aren't wearing Crimson and white they are still Bammers and the same with Al Qaeda, no formers, still bad guys!

 

[steve328]

Does anyone have the same fear that I have... that Hart may be stalling so he can get down to K Smart is his ONLY choice

I would hope the $$$$ guys would tell him to keep searching.

Any of those schools you mentioned would kill to be in sugar bowl. That's proving them fools in my book.

And Louisville is going to get their collective eyes "beat shut" by Florida and Mr. Muschamp!

See how they do against a good SEC team, before you crown Strong as a great coach.

 

['Boro-vol]

morning bruin!

You know i love ya right!
I understand you are trying to make a strong case here.

What i wanna know is do you have any better rational candidates left tacked up on your hart-board?

And say goodmorning to the rest of the ad department on behalf of the volnation!


Oh and......go gruden!

lol.

 

[BruinVol]

You have to look at it from florida's perspective though. If strong was at ut back in the 90's. Let's say he leaves to take a job after 98' where the previous coach was 4-8 and he goes 7-6 in his first year. Then Fulmer retires after 99' season. Most people would want Strong to come back and be the coach unless there are some obvious red flags. I'm just not sold.

I give you this is a good point. Without strongs year this year I would lean toward exactly your point here. If anything strong has proven a lot of people wrong and you want to include florida in that list then so be it. I love the fact he has a huge chip on his shoulders and it out to keep proving people wrong. A motivated man is fine by me!

Florida could make that game ugly!!!!!!

If that happens that will prove nothing.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I may be completely wrong, but that is part of my problem with him. I cannot think of many assistants that have over 25 yrs experience then become a head coach and excel.

Oh yea I'm with you. No Charlie Strong for me. I think if he is hired it will be a measure to get us back to winning 8-9 games a year and have the program back to where it might be more inticing to a bigger name coach.

I am of the opinion that if Gruden truly doesn't want to come here, there are other Grudenesque hires than can be made if the university is prepared to spend the money. Spend NFL dollars and there will be a lot of coaches that will take a look at you.

Don't yopu have another thread to troll?

 

[Unknown Muppet]

Mora would be ahead of strong IMO but I don't think he is realistic. Reports of any interest don't seem to be valid

For me Fedora and More are out. I don't want anyone who is willing to Kiffen a school.

 

[BruinVol]

lol.

Something tells me the lol will cease in this thread very SOON!

@coachingsearch: Every coach I talk with believes Tennessee is the best job available, right now.

You are just a Richard Noggin... And have been from the beginning... Troll on

 

[Unknown Muppet]

I would just want to be a fly on the wall when Hart comes looking for money from these guys after he made that hire.

 

[JMSqb11]

Have you watche Florida at all? More times than not they play down to their opponent. It's not florida's defense that will win this game if they do. It's gonna be the offense.

 

[keithvol1071]

I don't get it. If this woulda been 2008, people woulda been clamoring for him. That year they won the second title. It's almost bad to a lotta people that he went coached at Louisville when he clearly shows he can improve and recruit. And if he doesn't get the big ones, he still coaches up his team.

Please show me where he can recruit while he has been at Louisville.

I ignore you. You follow me around like a puppy and soil the rug. I smack you with the newspaper, and rub your nose in $#!+.

That is a much more accurate interpretation of how this works.

BOOM! That's good news right? :dance:

 

[BruinVol]

That same argument could be used in Favor of strong not being the replacement for urban instead of just saying he was passed over

I don't usually get evolved in other people's issues but your disrespect is insulting and un-needed. It only proves Boro's and others point.

I work with people everyday who have lost more than they can handle and this name us use is all they have. I know this is only a chat board but it is still very disrespectful..

 

[Unknown Muppet]

Can't be bad news.
