Clayton Williams on Twitter says "Big news tomorrow"

Maybe some big news..........but no coaching news 2 days before a game........when Tennessee just came off a bye.

 

[Weezer]

What's with the fascination over Gruden?
Bill Cowher won one Super Bowl and talks
football on network TV and nobody ever
talks about him coaching UT?

He'll be Gruden's DC.

Gruden to Chicago is much more likely if he goes back to coaching.

Lol...chicago!! Nuff said!

Winning out and beating Bama is the only thing that will change my mind at this point.

Just for second, imagine that happened. The team wins every game for the rest of the season. Based on what you’ve observed for the past four years and this season up until now, why would you think it was the result of anything apart from good luck? Would it not take more than that? Would you not have to believe some switch had been flipped? Some bulb had lit?

Even Iif this team won out, what would lead you to believe that it wouldn’t be right back where it’s been next year?

Waa he being serious?

 

[ERvolsfan]

Well Nick Sabans win percentage with the Dolphins was .469%. So I guess Bama shouldn't have hired him. Just saying. NFL production and college don't necessarily translate.

Maybe a little research would do you some good.

Saban had already proven he could win at the college level.

Nvm.

 

[Boston Vol]

Saban had already proven he could win at the college level.

When Pete Carroll was hired at SC, his winning percentage in the NFL was .515 and he had never won anything of consequence.

I understand that. But your point was based on NFL results. I understand we don't have a resume of Gruden as a HC in college but just cause he didn't have consist success in pros doesn't mean he wouldn't be a good coach here. I understand where you're coming from and respect your opinion.

Me personally I feel he would do really well here. I trust he would hire high level coordinators and assistants and let them do their job. I believe he would recruit really well. Do I think he's a slam dunk? No but he's still in tier A! And he's a Tenn guy.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Is the fat lady singing and I can't hear it?

Shes singing SOON!

Nite, Gruids! Tommorrow is another Gruesday...

Some of you .at benefit from this article. https://www.forbes.com/sites/amymor...influence-5-ways-to-avoid-the-herd-mentality/


The mob/herd mentality can be destructive.

Hey pal, wtf is your problem? I think you missed the entire premise of this thread due to that large stick stuck in your arse.

 

[Boston Vol]

Ok

So that turned out pretty well, despite the fact that he didn’t have a proven track record in college. Good coaches are successful no matter where they coach, because they’re good coaches.

 

[UTFootballFan]

Hey pal, wtf is your problem?

We aren't pals. I just have a different opinion and some people were acting like I am some foreign invader because I don't fall in line with the Gruden man crush mob.

Does that guarantee the same will happen with Gruden?

 

[BearCat204]

We aren't pals. I just have a different opinion and some people were acting like I am some foreign invader because I don't call in line with the Gruden man crush mob.

Breaking my heart kid

I’m not your guy, friend

 

[Boston Vol]

In all likelihood yes. Again, good coaches find a way to be successful no matter where they are. Gruden was an above average nfl coach. Stands to reason he’d be somewhat successful at the college level.

Take that to the Charlie Strong thread.

This may be the best one yet!!!
