Jon Gruden thread (merged)

[SDV]

Do people actually think Jon Gruden would come coach here? I've been playing along, but y'all are starting to sound serious.

Yes

 

[VOLorNuttin]

I just got dumber reading your post. We already have a coach who "inhibits" a run first offense. WE WON A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RUNNING A PRO STYLE OFFENSE!!!!!!

Even my wife understands Spider 3 Y Banana after watching Gruden's show. ****ing pay him whatever he wants already.

Hart needs to establish a line of communication with Jon, right about now. Ask what it would take if the need to go in a "new direction" arose, and have him on speed dial for when it does.

I'm still pulling for this team and that means I hope Dooley can shock us all and start winning against conference opponents not named Vandy.

gruden makes almost $4 mil at espn, working 1 day during the week. UT would pay him $4-5 mil for working 70 hours every week minimum. Why would he change jobs?

he works a bit more than just 1 day per week

Why would Haslam pay Gruden to coach here at UT when he could pay him to coach for his Browns of which he is more invested into than UT?

bingo. ROI is much, much better with the Browns

No Gruden. You saw what happened last time we hired an NFL coach. No. NFL-style offenses don't work in college. They especially don't work in the SEC. No. We need someone who will inhibit a run-first offense, i.e. UF, Bama, LSU, etc. Pro-style offenses DO NOT WORK in the SEC. Period.

Second digit could be IQ... no way it's the first. :hi:

I'm not sure Gruden has been waiting for a job all these years to come to Tennessee. But I'd be pretty stunned if he has been waiting to coach the Browns.

And anyways, only one Haslam owns the Browns.

No kidding... talk about polar opposite traditions, despite being in different leagues.

If you think he only works one day you are mistaken. It'd be safe to say he puts in as many if not more hours than most HC's.

If you have HBO GO watch the full interview. Episode #185

Enough with the Gruden threads.

Grammar Naziism is douchey. You're better than that. Slightly.

Nobody has more grammar errors than me. That was a shot at him using the exact words I've seen him use on other people.

The money still comes from the same place and before any amount that large is spent, daddy Haslam has to give approval.

Do people seriously believe Gruden will be our next coach if Dooley is fired? Surely not?

I think they hope he will. Not sure anyone believes

 

[Orangeslice13]

I'm hopeful it would be one of the Strong boys.

Charles, Chuck, or Charlie

Sadly, I think some really believe.

Who would you hire if you could OB?

I really don't know who would be available. I feel like another coaching change will set us back more, but i realize if we win 6-7 games it will be inevitable. I think some will say Stoops. Not sure he would come here. People want a big name, but I honestly can't think of one who would leave a job he is currently at, that he isn't on the hot seat, and come to a job where he immediately would be on it. More than likely we will get Kirby Smart or another up and comer.

 

[volfan2024]

It would never happen unfortunately. It would have to be like 7.5 for 4 years, a 30 mil deal then he would come imo, but that won't happen either.

That pretty much sums up how I feel about it.

Daddy Haslam isn't the owner of the Browns.

 

[tvolsfan]

I'd love Gruden, although I'll admit I fear the Gruden talk may just be wishful thinking. That said, there's nothing wrong with hiring someone like Charlie Strong.
