Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIX

[volgr]

Basillio is manufacturing a story where none exists. It's what you have to do when you buy broadcast time on what is effectively public access radio, and work for donations.

He is actually doing something far more stupid. He is now working against the Gruden deal. Why in the hell would he throw out there that Butch is mad Gruden is trying to take the job from under him? Knowing Gruden would be sensitive to such a thing. This is getting ridiculous.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I really hope if Tenn gets a top tier coach Cade jumps back on board.

i read a post the other day that made sense, but i don't remember who it was.

gruden views himself as a rock star, as well he should. that being said, coaches in the nfl are just coaches. the players are the rock stars.

however, in college coaches are royalty, rock stars, the main attraction, which is why gruden fits college this time around.

interesting thought.

That's a good point that I hadn't considered before. If he's truly as "ego-maniacal" as people say, the college game would be a better fit than the NFL.

 

[VolzMan53]

I must be wrong on the $50,000 comment.... I went back and searched his posts but could not find it.... I guess my OLDTIMERS kicked in again ...sorry :whistling::mf_surrender:

he used a $50 million reference, could that be what you are scratching your head over ?

 

[Vol_TCB]

That's what we've been working on.

Ahhh. I'm a little behind this morning. Thanks. I'll try to keep up.

 

[Halph66]

It makes no sense why he would leave for a college job of the same position.

He could be the next head coach when JG hangs it up?

 

[jos3ywales]

We already melted down over this yesterday. It was pretty intense

I hadntseen it sorry bout that, im in and out I try to read up but miss some things lol

Tony B is reporting that CBJ is going to Boosters saying he will fire all his assistant coaches if they give him another year and don’t fire him. Tony B also reporting that CBJ is telling the players they are trying to hire Gruden underneath him while he’s still coaching. CBJ if this it true is trying to play his on players against the school, I don’t like this at all In fact it pisses me off. If CBJ is really saying this to the players he is trying to turn players against the school and each other. Again just passing this alone

Did Tony actually say Gruden? Because if he did, that contraindicates everything he's been saying that grumors are ridiculous.

 

[Hawkpilot]

Will do. He will be rated for Blackhawk's also..

Best aircraft in the fleet IMO, especially the Mike model. All glass with autopilot. Tell him to enjoy the experience. It can be stressful and intense. It's like drinking from a firehose, but absolutely worth it.

 

[Behr]

Can there be any correlation to the locations mentioned by the Beav last night to possible OCs, DCs, positron coaches, etc? That was my thought after reading it last night and then I did some research on a few of the names that have been mentioned. It makes sense with McDaniels(Nantucket/NE), Neuheisel (Aspen/CO), and I can't really pin point the Asheville one. Maybe I'm reaching but maybe it's another riddle.

Interesting.

Asheville is just where Gruden/AD signed. Perhaps.

That makes me angry. He knows Gruden would never want to be seen that way. Sounds like he's trying to sabotage the deal... But Whyyy???

If that was the case about Butch, Currie would have fired him. I'm sure in a twisted way that would be a "cause" to fire him. No way he runs the AD and keeps someone in charge trying to sabotage the program. Also, that would be career suicide for Butch. I don't believe that part in the least.

 

[preacherwebb]

I've not predicted anything other than Butch being gone. I'm going to stick to that.

I've heard good things, but am just along for the ride with you. No predictions from 'Boro this time...learned my lesson.

someone said to you the other day, something like, it must be nice being you, referring to being in the know.

i agree with them.
i see your point as well.

and boro be like:

No worries, it moves fast. The Neuheisel piece being Colorado makes sense, but I can't imagine Neuheisel plus McDaniels unless the locations are meant to be possible staff members

 

[Bluegrass Vol]

gtfu!


Meant for the original poster!

 

[KeepinUpWithJones]

I saw some referencing to Josh McDaniels. Is he being considered as an option for Head Coach or as a member of Gruden’s staff or was that just a red herring?

 

[Hawkpilot]

TB: Ergen rumors are ridiculous, it's still the House of Haslam (HOH).

Asheville is just close to Knoxville. Everyone in Knoxville is looking for JG. Asheville he would go under the radar somewhat. JMO

Edit: People in Asheville wouldn't recognize any UT affiliates.

 

[309VFL]

back in 2012 wasnt there like some high school coach in the Tennessee area that had retired to become apart of the staff? what was his name?

 

[MaTaLa]

It makes no sense why he would leave for a college job of the same position.

Would seem to be the obvious question

 

[volfan1631]

If this was actually true, he'd be gone yesterday, imo.

with cause

 

[preacherwebb]

Mcdaniels.

yeah, sorry, catching up again.

any ideas about those other names i mentioned?
i can't figure out why zook would be on staff. DC?
head scratcher.

 

[kayakonthefly]

Because there will be nothing to get the fans angry about. Therefore his listeners drop, because that's the only thing he had going for him. Angry listeners. If people are happy about the football program what does he have to play on to get them to listen to his show?

TB is just trying to get ratings. If 99.1 said this, then I’d worry.
