Official Jon Gruden Thread XVII

[Doyle Hargraves]

Yup.

You are legend.

 

[MemphisVol77]

Hell,I’d take him out to dinner if it meant a national championship 😂😂

One way or another we're getting Gruden.

We are all Gruden.

Even IF by some small miracle Gruden took this job, I still don't see why some of you think he is a "slam dunk" in terms of bringing Tennessee back to a championship level. He's been out of coaching for what, ten years? He has ZERO college coaching experience. He is notoriously famous for being hard to get along with, hard work with, etc. I just don't see it.

The only thing I'm certain of with hiring Gruden is the sales of Chucky dolls in Knoxville will be through the roof.

I don't have to see to believe. I have faith in the Grude

 

[GRN1926]

I'm curious --are they not concerned about early signing?

If they would announce in early November, I would think we could recover a lot of AWOL recruits.

Can't change timelines for recruits from one class, did that with Dooley and look at the results. Have to focus on what is best long-term. Short-term sacrifice for long-term gains

 

[ShooterVFL]

I don’t think so. November the earliest if they do something during the season but I could still see end of the season.

If he makes it to the end of the season, they will have really pissed off a particular set of boosters.

You think Saban is hard to get along with?

Saban had already won a national championship at LSU and wasn't 10 years removed from coaching when he took the Alabama job. Yes he has a similar reputation but the difference is he has the pedigree to back it up. I know Gruden won a Superbowl at Tampa but NFL and college are totally different animals. You have to love the recruiting process, which Saban does. I'm not sure "Chucky" would.

You choose to be skeptical, Grudenites choose to be optimistic.

Think Gruden, now, has a better pedigree than Butch did when he was hired.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

There will be a press conference tomorrow.

As of right now it will be the standard game press conference led by Butch.

First question should be, "So, when the F are you leaving?"

Thanks for pointing out that he's never been a head coach at the college level.
I can't believe that hasn't been said already.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Next question should be are you flying coach or taking a greyhound bus?

What? I didn't know that

If I remember correctly, Pete Carroll was not that great of an NFL head coach to start out, and he killed it at USC

Oh look another question thats never been asked. If you have to be sold on it, then its not for you. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

I know it's hard to believe coming from me but I really was being sarcastic.

I know you were

I was directing it more at the unbeliever

 

[UTVolinExile]

I'm about ready to instant ignore every mother's son who comes up in this thread with this same tired nonsense about Gruden coaching college or Gruden winning with someone else's players.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Anyone have info about the Ron Swanson post from last night?

I thought someone said that was fake. I could be wrong

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I hate to ask but I shut VN down shortly after it got posted, went to bed, and we just got home from church.

*13 hours away from VN is a killer

You mean the OP trolled us?

I guess we'll have to have a mod delete the thread.
