Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIII

Bazinga!

Or "Burn!" for those non Big Bang Theory viewers.

Come back when Gary Patterson and his family are looking at houses in Knoxville.

Gruden to TN, Chip to Florida. The east just got interesting again!

Ya both university got new Ads that hopefully in our case get things rolling, but I hope Florida gets better so the East gets some respect for a change, I just hope it’s not Urban Meyer type of better....

Gruden to TN, Chip to Florida. The east just got interesting again!

Wouldn't bother me in the least. Not a knock on Kelly, but I welcome tough competition against anybody as long as we have a good coach (aka Gruden) on our side. Makes it more fun.

Being handicapped like we have been over the past 10 years however, is not fun.

 

[VFLnSFD]

Why don't you stop being lazy and do some research on Gruden? And not the first 12 lines of a Google search but some REAL research.

Like how screwed up the salary cap situation was in Tampa when he took over? And how it handcuffed him from making the changes to the team that he needed to.

Or how he increased the points scored by the Bucs offense in the playoffs by over 10 points. And how he took that same team that Dungy couldn't even win a playoff game with and won the super bowl with said team.

You know that's the truest definition of a good coach right? Beat you with his and then take yours and beat you with them too. That's what he did.

How he put up with Al Davis crazy ass and still built a super bowl quality team?

How he has won his division 6 times.

Now.. factor in that there are no, zero, nada gimme games in the NFL, his record is above average.

So continue to regurgitate the same old crap and show us how really limited your knowledge is like the 100 or so before you, or go read a bit and come back with a real arguement.

Until then gtfo

This should be stickied.

I think that's what makes Peyton important now. He can corral the cooks b/c of the respect they all have for him and put a goal in front of them we might get something done. In my outsider opinion anyways

I actually think you have a point here. you should see some of these big money guys around him...I mean it is almost laughable...they start acting like kids..”hey sign this for my kid, sign this for me...sign that for my wife,hey do you mind doing this for me, hey lets tee it up at honors next time your in town”. It’s pretty damn embarrassing...the man needs some down time from that bs. I think the jock power he has is being used in a positive manner this time around.

 

[CoachClick]

But could you imagine the crap storm around here Sunday if they did?? Oh man.

Oh. I fully expect if we get beat Saturday...this place will be on fire no matter what the hell is going on outside.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Will you kindly do me a favor?
Will you tell Haslam, or whoever it is that needs to get out of the way, that preacherwebb is going to put them on the list?
Thanks,
preacherwebb

Boom. Haslam just made preacherwebb's list.

 

[preacherwebb]

👀😂😂😂

I’m rolling right now. Love it Preach

you think i'm being funny?
i'm being dead serious.








Just kidding.
I too, thought it was clever.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

[ATC_VOL]

Good Evening everyone..
Sorry wasn’t able to be on much today...the WiFi wasn’t working for some reason on the bird today...and I was all over the place.
Speaking of...I need some of you ATC guys or military guys to clear my birds through some of these MOA’s...cost me some time today flying around them.

First off wow...spent last few mins in the old thread trying to figure out what I was doing wrong with no real recent activity. Come to find this new thread...and holy moly i can’t catch up on a 100 or so pages and ever get really caught up.

Cliff notes anyone or do i just need to hunker down and try and get caught up. I’ll write an update from my end (highly redacted however i hate to admit at this point) but will give you some sense of where my head and thoughts are.

Give me a heads up and I’ll be happy to deactivate some MOA’s for a fellow Vol. Sounds like you might have been flying around LA or MS today.

 

[Sparkyvol10]

If McElwain is fired before butch and Gruden is not marched out with fireworks a championship belt and being carried on a thrown then the fans are liable to....man I don’t even know what would happen lol

 

[TNJOKER]

Absolutely.

Reverse psychology... Works on most people.

Hey Steve! I remember you! Just trying to pull a Kramer and blow your mind. HA!

It doesn't take much to blow this mind. Seinfeld was one of my favorite shows, BTW. Man, this thread moves fast.

And the lesser know but even more sinister Elder Hardison is going to add to his list the names of the preachers list and that's a list you never get off.

Lots of rich folks in the world. Only one GOAT.

 

[vols72]

If we get Gruden and if he gets us back to the promised land, I will gladly eat my words because I want Tennessee to get back to winning SEC and national championships as much as anybody. Apologies if Ive ruffled any feathers or ruined the fun tonight; just had to get my opinion on Gruden out there.

No biggie. I like the back and forth,it's what makes this thread so good.

 

[jos3ywales]

What will be worse is if Florida fires sharkhumper before we fire butch. 😕😡

If Fla can’t get chip they will go after Kiffin imo

truuuuf!

Yeah, who knows more about football, Peyton or Troublemaker(s) Booster?

 

[NorCalVol67]

Agreed, listen to the Sunday's version if you have not yet.

That is a great version.

That was the 2nd song the band at my wedding reception played.

 

[Volzonya]

SEC Media Days, already a circus, would be new levels of insane.

Saban would walk in stop and ask "What the hell is going on over there?" No one would answer because everyone is crowded around the GRUUUUUUDE!

Ahem....

 

[Grayvol4life]

From my perspective I put my odds at JG coming at 65-70%. I don’t think it is a done deal per se like MIT does....but i could certainly be wrong...I Had multiple smoke screens thrown my way throughout the week. Earlier in the week i was 50/50 but man there is so much pointing to this thing getting done and the right people to get it done being involved that I feel like it will be a total collapse on our side if it falls through. So I am hopeful...and let me also be clear. In the event i got word that this deal was 100% done before it was announced I would never give that out in this forum...not my place to do that and certainly there are some things you just let play out....and I have a role with this university that I don’t want to jeapordize So enjoy the ride..

In regards to butch...that ship sailed...I didn’t however hear anything in regards to this timing i have been seeing after the KY game. I also haven’t really asked that question though. My focus and attention has been ensuring the program know where i stand on the current situation and also trying to help keep some of these recruits at bay while the ship is falling apart if that makes sense.

I dont know you, but i think I love you. GBO. SOON!
