Official Jon Gruden Thread XVII

[volfan1631]

I wonder how many times a day Gruden logs on to VN to see how it is going.

 

[VFLnSFD]

Does anyone have a concept of what it might cost us to buy out Gruden's ESPN contract?

What makes you think there isn't some sort of language built into his contract with ESPN that allows him to leave?

Lyle Jones

Have a Gruden, let me help you pack.

 

[VFLnSFD]

What makes you think there isn't some sort of language built into his contract with ESPN that allows him to leave?

Absolutely there could be. I remember from last go around that there was verbiage that prevented him from coaching in the NFL for a certain period which was what enabled his extreme access to programs.

Given he was previously coaching I'm sure he has a clause that lets him go back to that when he wants.

"Could be" doesn't mean there is like you implied.

It's going to be weird to watch all the Butch crotch sniffing sunshine pumpers become negavols when Gruden is hired ...

Going to be even more entertaining the cognitive dissonance that occurs when he gets us back on top and they try to spin that as a bad thing.

Fun times, full ahead Gruden.

I think it’ll be funny what’s considered “inexcusable” by the new sunshine pumpers...love coaching searches. :lol:

Why is Butch’s crotch the default btw? Always wondered. :w00t:

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

I hear he has something called a "Vols Clause" in his contract.

Shouldn't you be packing

any latest grumors going around...this is kind of depressing

 

[butchna]

I agree with you and would be very happy with Miles. He would be #2 on my list right after Gruden, even before Kelly. I think the Mad Hatter would fit the Southern culture better for recruiting.

I think he was pretty much done before LSU mercy killed him. He did a good job of maintaining what Saban built but he’s not a builder himself. He doesn’t elevate a program imo so I wouldn’t even glance.

Probably not much going to happen until around the usc game. Blowout hear more...

 

[ericberry4heisman]

He wouldn't be on VN if he didn't

He is among us IMO.

 

[Grand Vol]

I hear he has something called a "Vols Clause" in his contract.

That I wouldn't doubt.

ESPN Executive: "Quick, let's get Chip Kelly on retainer so we can really piss 'em off!"

watch for the orange tie and triple-cryptic cues only detectable by the faithful on MNF. #hope

I didn't imply anything. My question was one I clearly didn't have an answer to. The answer could have been $0 as easily as it could be $10 million.

 

[CHUCKY 2 NEYLAND]

Just an FYI. Gruden's overall record is 95-81 or .54%. Butch Jones' overall record is 133-83 overall or .62%.

Heck, even this year so far his winning % is better than Gruden's. So, keep on with the Grumors if you want a .54% winning % coach to replace your .600 winning percentage coach. LOL

Just Saying!

Post like this show your lack of knowledge.... Just saying!

I don't see the AD paying the 3rd buyout in 10 years to go after another mid major hopeful. That's like Groundhog Day. Whether it's Gruden or not I think they go after a proven name. God I hope it's Gruden!

Okay, my apologies for reading it wrong. The way you phrased it looked like you were asking to prove a point rather than a question.

Regardless, I'd be willing to bet most former coaches that work as analysts tend to have some sort of escape clause built into their contracts that allows them to go back to coaching.

No problem...we are all on the same team here (except those who aren't). The only reason I thought to ask was because of the NFL clause I remembered from last time. We knew that if he returned to coaching it had to be NCAA and not NFL.

Grude day all!
