Jon Gruden thread (merged)

Did we win?

But but, it was a moral win...come on Jay

 

[Vol2424]

Going to be a long 2 weeks after this one. And I'm with Jay on MSU. If we beat them (even though they will be ranked) doesn't make everything better and is NOT the measuring stick for a program like Tennessee. That is what Vandy fans get excited about.

Yeah , we gave Georgia a game and had a chance. Don't get me wrong , I am proud of the effort. But at the end of the day all people remember are wins and losses.

 

[VOLorNuttin]

Not from what I was told ahead of this game. He was coaching for his job tonight IMO, and it showed on his face after Bray's last pick.

Guess we'll know within the month.

I ain't gonna lie. I felt pretty bad for Dooley at that moment. We were in very good position to to tie the game and take it into OT. With UGA's D being gassed, I thought we had 'em on the ropes, and rather shocked that we weren't going away.

I want this team to do well and for Dooley to finally show he can beat SEC/Ranked teams. Took another big step backwards today. Had the talent to win both of these games, but I remain convinced that CDD wasn't even qualified to be the HC at La Tech...and that experimenting with making a position coach your DC + switching to an entirely different defensive scheme was further proof of it.

Good to see you here..Hadn't seen ya' all day..We've held the fort down.:wink2:

I felt bad for him too. I only recently fell off the train with Dooley. I think he's an oustanding individual that has found himself.ons situation too large for him.

You could almost see the realization in his face though. It was a little sad.

Was that written by Stephen King?

I think I've seen the movie, maybe I'm thinking of something different.:crazy:

You're right. Dooley Defense Syndrome (DDS) is spreading faster than The Stand's super bug.

 

[JayVols]

We are playing T-ball now, didn't you here? There are no losers. Everyone gets a trophy. Let's go get ice cream.

Upward Bound League, imo.

I remember that movie being so long..Actually, I rented the video at Blockbuster or some video store(before DVD's) and it had two parts.:crazy:

 

[JayVols]

I want Dooley to succeed. I feel he has done a lot for the University.

Now, him being a good man does not equal wins, unfortunately. The program is bigger than any one person and imo his tenure may be coming to an end.

That being said, I understand why people on both sides feel the way they do. I just don't understand why some try to belittle others for whatever.

So keep it up.

A sensible guy. I like it. Come hang with us any time, bro.

Sadly Hart has contracted a sever case

Your world is starting to crumble.
Denial will not save you.
Acceptance of Gruden is your salvation.

Sorry dude. My world doesn't revolve around crying about football and getting wet about Gruden.

This is the problem with this program, the media and Dooley. He gets 5*'s for his media performance. The fans love his comments, his stupid one liners and the media eats it up. His staff hates him and everything he stands for. He is a prick like no other.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Looks like UK gets credit for a moral victory b/c they are allowed.

Grudenites are above moral victories.

Come on Jon, you mean. Kind of reminds me of the UPS slogan (What can Brown do for you?). What could Jay do with a team that has this much offensive talent (defense too, but moreso on O)?

Don't know that he's ever had this much WR talent and size. What Harbaugh meant to Stanford, Jon Gruden would mean to Tennessee. Come on Jon. We know ESPN is a great gig...but it will still be there when you've coached your last. And there's lots more coaching left in you.

Teachers don't do it for the money. They do it to help affect the lives of youngsters. As a HC, you are doing the same within the game...helping young men grow in the profession, all in a highly competitve environment.

You fit in perfectly with us.

Been offline most of the day. Good to see people here putting in work. I just watched the Dooley press conference. The guy looks like he's been through hell. I posted it at the top of the board. He did get a little angry with the media , but he looks like he knows his fate.

Darn it,Jay..I was fixing to post this.

I believe he does.

I'm sure he does.

Appreciate you posting it, but honestly I don't feel like watching it...My mind is on getting a coach in here that can win some games..if you know what I mean.:wink2:

Yeah , the videos aren't for everyone. Especially when your always losing games that matter. Don't blame you a bit.

The major donors are among the chosen ones that are immune.

I think he sees his opportunity to stay on as HC heading in the wrong direction. Not that it's gone, but it's sounding like a familiar theme.

Yep, 7 staff members left last off-season because he is a GREAT person and GREAT to work for. There is more to coaches leaving than what the media knows...for a reason.
