Jon Gruden thread (merged)

[Blackmarket803]

that's the rumor. Savor the deliciousness of that.

I think he meant whining.

That's completely different then.

 

[OCIVol]

If he loses to Alabama and South Carolina, no doubt.

So if Dooley loses to the #1 and #3 ranked teams in the country he should be fired?

 

[OCIVol]

Do youthink he will make it to 8 wins?

Yes. This weekend is a big game. I also think we have a shot to beat Bama or USCe.

 

[MedicT]

I saw enough during the UGA and UF games to tell me we might be heading in the right direction. Far more tangible evidence than I see for Gruden successfully coaching in the SEC.

Don't forget #117 last year, UK with the receiver as a the QB. I want him to succeed OCI, but it just isn't gonna happen.

The money Tennessee will bring in if they hire Gruden will be crazy. Go vols

 

[OCIVol]

Gruden in his second year at Tennessee will have us competing for the sec east title.

If Gruden is hired, he will be successful in large part due to the talent base Dooley has established.

 

[OCIVol]

Beating a ranked team or a legitimate SEC rival.

Will Mississippi State this weekend count? We've only played 5 games this year. Let the year play out then analyze the situation.

 

[OCIVol]

I thought it was BS?

?

Then you are being selectively myopic. Nothing can be said that will have any effect on you.

That knowledge certainly will make it easier to deal with you in the future.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Yes. This weekend is a big game. I also think we have a shot to beat Bama or USCe.

So what if we lose (loose for those who aren't sure what lose means) this weekend? Any consequences? Does it change your mind?

Truth is nothing will satiate the mob mentality of this group. Just have to let it play out.

Now that IS funny. Selective Myopia is the basis for this entire thread.lol:

 

[OCIVol]

I'm hearing may have an interest in the Cleveland Browns job.

Haslam pays Saban to coach the Browns and pays Gruden to coach the Vols...I like your conspiracy theorist approach.

It will count, at this moment, as a ranked team. I have trouble giving State much credit as a traditional rival however.

The likelihood that they finish the year ranked if we beat them is pretty remote too.

Really? Seriously? Mob? The season has to play out. If it turns around that's great. But what has shown that he can win? Serious question for you there. I am still willing to give him a little wiggle room for the rest of the year. But I don't think he has it in him. That's all.

I didn't say he would be hired, I said I was told he had interest.

I've already stated Dooley needs to go 8-4. It really doesn't matter how he gets there because it would have to include a win over either MSU, Bama, or USCe.

I still think it is funny that people think we are going to beat them. I hope we do, but they are tougher at home than people realize I think, and Mullen has a much better record against ranked and SEC teams.

Haslam is playing chess!!!!

Haslam is playing chess!!!!

With himself

So basically if he loses to MSU he is gone?

Kind of like Meyer with Zook's players.....Saban with Shula's players etc?
