Hello Gents,

Just curious but I want to know why everyone thinks Gruden would be the answer. I watched himn in Tampa Bay and he never liked having young players on his team and never really developed any young talent at Tamp or Oakland.

What makes you guys think he can carry UT forward??

Please, I ask for pure curiousity's sake. I am not calling anyone out. I am just wondering what you might be seeing about Gruden that I am missing.

Welcome to the board and welcome to the Jon Gruden thread, where we offer T-shirts, buttons, and chocolate donuts.

Jump on board and don't ask questions. :)

:hi:

He didn't have quality young players in Tampa because the owners traded the draft picks to make Gruden the coach.
 
Hiring Jon Gruden as HC would be the best thing that could possibly happen to UT football. He'd basically be our Saban.

Gosh guys...i am so tired about hearing what Saban has done..The difference in Saban, Miles and even Richet is, they are able to recruit in their own states, to kids who have always been a fan of the school...How many top 100 players come out of those states each year? If they just get half of them, they have a much better recruiting base then we would have if we signed all ours from TN...That is a huge advantage...

I never thought i would have to say it, but our Vols football fans are as crazy as Kentucky basketball fans...We say how we play football in Tn (because our men's basketball team has never been a powerhouse), but if we recruited every great football player in our state, we could not compete in the SEC..Same as Kentucky basketball...they play basketball in Kentucky, but none of their great players come from the state...

Fulmer put more players in the NFL than Bama, LSU and Florida during his tenure. The product on the field and leadership at the top will determine recruiting success. We have never had an issue attracting talent.
 
Good game by Chaney. Did anyone notice anything different this game? That's right, we stuck to running the football. What does that have to do with Gruden? Nothing other than we just chalked up another loss to an SEC team.
 
Bump,,,,,gruden would have lost today. At least coaching kept us in the game.

By wasting timeouts and kicking field goals to concede the loss in the fourth, then yeah coaching kept us in it. Yay we covered the spread. Go us. Moral Victory University where not quitting means we are all winners. This isn't T-ball!!!!!

Do you want me to send you copy of the Atlanta Journal Constitution so you can frame this near win and place on your wall for posterity? We lost again to one of our rivals with Bama being the only significant rival left on the schedule. There are three games that really matter to Vol fans and we have lost two of them.

gruden is a good coach.but his specialty is in the west coach offense. do you think these college kids can understand the actuall concept of that? hell Gruden even preferred veteran QB'd (gannon,Johnson) when he was coach bc they could understand it better then the younger QB's. its a very complicated system that i dont think will work in the NCAA
 
Just hope this thread still exists tomorrow b/c someone above is calling for it to be deleted.:cray:

What is it the 'other side' says all the time?

Haters gonna hate?

Well NegaGrudens are gonna NegaGruden. There is no possible way under the sun that I could care any less what they think. Stay strong! Don't let them try to shout any of the Grudenites down. Our cause is just. Continue to carry the fight.

We don't need Walsh's entire playbook. He will recruit players for it and their draft stock will be much higher for having learned it.

Well poop. We should just close the program down.

I agree. Liked the run game. Too bad it's taken 2 years and 5 games to figure that out.

What? You are aware the West Coast offense has been in the college game for 20+ years, or are you not?
