Check the private jets at McGee Tyson.

Soon......

Oh man that brings back the memories

SOON

I never wanted Gruden here, despite all the ballyhoo during our dark times. I think because I considered him a fake who took over a ready to go, Tampa team or something, and got lucky. Lucky that one time, the crash dived thereafter.

Honestly, is this really worth a thread here? At this point, especially?

At what point do we let the sordid past decade and a half go and just enjoy the UT sports renaissance?

Lol, ain't this the truth. The year we're having so far and what's around the corner and ...a Gruden thread?

Dude was like the White Whale for many here. Drove people mad.

Well, in no particular order, there’s his UT cheerleader wife and his Super Bowl ring.

He would have been a superstar college coach at one point in his career but now he’ll be perceived as a has been

That dude was a troll and actually did an amazing job of it.

Having a cheerleader wife and a Super Bowl Ring does not necessarily make an excellent college head coach.

That wasn’t the question. The question was why has there been love for a Gruden at UT.

Add his QB show on ESPN to the list along with the NFL success and the local in-laws and also being a GA on Johnny’s staff establishing the connection.

I am hoping Florida doesnt try to get him.

Yes but those Grumors threads were freaking epic. I never had so much fun on these forums then when we all came on those threads and just laughed in our misery.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

if we were looking for a coach I would be there would be some Vol fans who still believe Gruden would come here . I for one am glad Gruden never came here.

 

[Godfatha]

I am hoping Florida doesnt try to get him.

I'd rather have him there than Lane Kiffin or Urban Meyer.

I’m hoping they do.

 

[McDad]

What if UF goes after Art Briles?

 

[Volbrando]

I know Florida will try to go after Kiffin, but with the playoff schedule and early signing and transfer portal period now, would a coach from a playoff team leave before their season is over? I don't see that happening

 

[DaddyChad]

Kiffin or Golesh would both be the nightmare scenario at Florida. Gruden doesn’t really scare me.

 

[Hulavol]

The Grumor threads were the best things since the Roy Adams and Logan Young threads.
Legendary fun.

BVS is hard to overcome.

 

[Remy]

Those long walks and talks on the beach, the patrician discussions of ales, malts, and bourbons, the constant reporting of real estate transactions by Gruden in East Tennessee, knowing those in the know and knowing what they know, .... the whole Gruden hoax the last time was everything bad about Vol fans, it had no redeeming value at all. Even those flirting with a poster who purportedly was a chica were pathetic and didn't get laid for crying out loud.

You forget about the property he owns in Sevier County too...

I kid. Agree with most, at one point he would have been a stellar college coach.
