Jon Gruden thread (merged)

['Boro-vol]

If he goes 8-4 does he hang on or will he get axed? IMO he needs to get to 9-3 now that he lost to UF.

I guess it depends who is in that eight, and what the wins look like.

I'd fire him at 8-4. That's three "he's done nothing to prove anything" seasons.

But he'll stay at 8-4 IMO.

People need to understand that Montrell doesn't say stuff like this for no reason. He tells it like it is and he is no troll. If Gruden wants the job and Dooley can't get it done , this will be the best thing to happen to Tennessee since 1998.

+1

stupid to do, huh? Then why was Fulmers record always thrown out as "going down hill". Because if you're going to throw out records then we should have kept Phil.

No, I dont want a coach that was mediocre ie .500 or was traded to a team, won a SB, then proceeded to go 45-51 over the next 6 seasons with only 2 playoff appearances losing both.

No, I dont want a coach that has never coached college football and the last time he was a coach in cfb the only personal communication devices people had were a thing called "pagers" and that was only doctors.

No, I dont want a guy that people can only guess he'd be a good recruiter but yet cannot name one single player he ever recruited in college. Not one.

I want more for our university, not a guess. We gambled with Kiffin. It failed. We had to take Dooley. Its failed. Risk time is over. Time to find someone proven

please.

shut.

up.

I say we end up 7-5 and Doofus hits the road.

SEC wins coming against UK, Vandy, and Mizzo at the end of the year when all is said and done.

Mizzo and MSU can be interchanged.

Either way, he's outta here.

This is what I am thinking too. IMO he should be gone at 8-4 but I don't think Hart fires him unless he goes 7-5.

7-5 is our most realistic shot right now. He should just get his papers ready.

No way in hell we beat UGA between the hedges, USCjr in Columbia, or Bammer at home.

He has to beat MSU and Mizzo to save his job. I don't see it happening.

 

[Escape Goat]

You have no track record. Nice copypasta though.

Is copypasta served with red, or white sauce?

 

[UTodd01]

Love how the self-proclaimed posivols avoid this thread at all costs.

We get the occasional Barbara, but nothing of significance.

Negavols unite!

 

[Escape Goat]

True buuutttt.....if, and when, Jon Gruden gets back into coaching. It ain't gonna be in the college game. We can afford Chip Kelly and he will come to Knoxville.

What else is your cracked crystal ball telling you?

Bill Meade on the sports monster today said Dooley deserves a 4Th year and all college coaches should get 4 years. I'm not sure I agree with this.

Meade is another level of moron.

I think there's a good chance we'll know his fate after the MSU game unless we win that game. Then it'll come down to if he can beat Mizzou. That still doesn't seal it for him though. If we lose to UGA then turn right around and lose to MSU it could get ugly.

Could also hinge on how bad the losses are.

Dooley doesn't give 4 year scholarships. Why should he get 4 years if he isn't "performing at the level we expected when he got here" like he has said so many times before about recruits. And I agree with his thoughts on that by the way. It just needs to apply to him as well.

Hopefully it won't get ugly.

As much as I dislike the guy as a coach (obvious) he seems like a decent fella.

And I do appreciate him taking the job over at a tough time, improving player standing in the community, and recruiting his ass off.

With that said - the results on the field are the worst since the 70's. Probably worse than the 70's.

Can't wait to watch Gru's inauguration.

Yep. The UF loss doesn't look too good because it is reminiscent of all his other losses. Play good in first half and make no adjustments at half time.

I read on one forum that Peyton Manning was being interviewed and said if he has another half like he had against the Falcons he would retire. While the interview was still going on his phone started ringing and he says "I wonder what Gruden wants". TIFWIW

You're in a sensitive area of VN my friend. No Keed! No Keed!

 

[UTodd01]

Bump for the evening Barbaras.

 

[VolsRule]

I do appreciate him taking the job over at a tough time,

he took the job to get paid millions for coaching at one of the top programs in the country.

 

[UTodd01]

That too.

 

[tvolsfan]

I would have been willing to lose all the important games for a lot less money.

 

[DjCrenshaw]

So is Gruden going to have Tony Dungey as a recruiting coordinator?

 

[ukvols]

Asst. Recruiting Coordinator to a big fish to be named later.
