Official Jon Gruden Thread XVII

[KB5252]

He's not being invited back. He's aware of this fact.

I hope this is true but part of me can't help but feel like Butch closes better and we somehow snatch misery from the jaws of hope.

Ha! Sorry to the tone police. Nothing but love here. Hope we build a statute in his honor 15 years from now when he retires with 5 national championships, and we name a street after him.

I'd settle for 10 wins, a trip to Atlanta, and a New Year's Day Bowl at this point.

Not much. How the kids doing?

Growing like crazy..got another one in the oven! I'm shopping for frozen peas as we speak. Lol

Nope. New Coach for 2018.

 

[vols72]

This. Certainly not until after Bama I am told.

This makes me sad. To have to watch us get embarrassed for 2 more games just sucks

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

I actually hadn’t thought about this.... interesting angle

Actually one of the reasons I took the effort to start thread.

 

[Godfatha]

I have always said if he can make it to only 5 losses he stays 6 and I think he is gone

If it's that, the inevitable is being delayed at great loss to the program (specifically this years recruiting class and inevitable attrition to the program via transfers). No coaching assistant worth a damn and in their right mind would come here knowing 2018 is very likely Butch's last year and therefore their own. Retaining Butch would be a screw up of epic proportions.

Wassup fellow Gruden faithful?!



The sky is a little bluer today in Big Orange country....hope is in the air.

Same ole, same ole Boro.... trying to keep the Butch lovers off of us

You're like our Sargeant at Arms. Force is authorized.

I thought that after after the USC,Vandy games last year

 

[revjayp]

This. Certainly not until after Bama I am told.

If they lose Saturday to SC, I think he should be required to coach the Bama game as punishment.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

We need to establish who the OGs are. Make a list.

Grider was a student manager for UT in the 80s while Gruden was a GA. They roomed together and had remained friends. Anyways Gruden wanted Grider to be his high school liason to help repair some of the severed relationships between UT and TN high school coaches as a result of Dooley's ignorance


Repost this one. Never heard this one. Crazy

All OG's know this. We've cited it for 5 years.
