Jon Gruden thread (merged)

[volatil]

Wrong. People will rally around the team, as we should, in the absence of a HC. This team will have nothing to lose from here on out, which makes them dangerous.

Count me in, if true!

Same group of guys who crossed my mind while walking the beach today, minus Stoops. I don't understand why people think we'd be able to lure the current head coach at Oklahoma. I don't think we should recycle Tuberville either, but it wouldn't surprise me if he is somewhere on the list. Better him than Smart, IMO.

Agreed..I do not want Smart AT ALL..Would be a dumb move,IMO..See what I did there?

Seriously, if that's the only option, then we may as well keep Dooley:blink:.

Being accused of trolling in other threads for repeating what I hear around Knoxville about Dooley.

This is the only safe place on VolNation for me.

Does one have to say IM NOT A DAMN INSIDER JUST A DUDE THAT HEARS **** WHILE OUT FOR DINNER?

I think that would be the sentiment of all of us, for or against. We're still Vols at the end of the day.

I hope so. It would be pretty embarrassing to have a stadium full of Tide fans on national TV.

She's everywhere, she's everywhere........lol

Yes,sir.:naughty:

I'm serious though..If I were a player, I would run thru a brick wall for Gruden..Hell,I'm not a player and I would still do it or at least try..There are a few people that I would run thru a brick wall for or at least try to and Gruden is one of them..Strangest thing.:crazy:

 

['Boro-vol]

Thanks for chiming in BV and hope you had a great Bday

Thanks so much....it was a great day. I've been lurking on and off all day.

I apologize in advance but I haven't been following this thread until now. So if i'ts been discussed leave the belittling to a minimum.

But if we were going to make a move where would we get the money to theoretically pay Gruden 5 mil a year? I know people saw that the boosters would handle the difference, but would they really?

The main booster I would assume would be Haslam. But if he were to be paying a lot for a Gruden wouldn't he rather post up the cash for him to coach the Browns?

bump.

Anyone?

Just understand that people are still skeptical. Some would like to get on here and make things up just for fun to see us get all excited. Normal behavior.

That's what it'll be if they don't make a quick announcement to rally the support.

GFL!!! Gruden 2013!!

I don't get it, even if you say you don't know if it's true and you're just trying to bring some kind of interesting info to the board, people attack you like you're the 2nd coming of lucifer for making some kind of loose prediction.

So I see.

Maybe I'll go back to just reading and watching.

This place is at a boiling point.

Remember guys...IM NOT AN INSIDER JUST A DUDE THAT HEARS STUFF WHILE OUT FOR DINNER WITH THE WIFEY LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON IN KNOXVILLE.

Thank you.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Sorry, didn't mean to leave you out too.:crazy:

No problem haha, I'm much more of a reader than a poster.

You were just talking to some random person at a restaurant?

Can you explain how this all went down?

 

[LittleDTO]

Was told earlier today that things would get very quiet for a period if time...which means something is happening.

It depends on how much legwork Hart did in advance. I've heard he had his ducks in a row.

Bingo.

Happy b day by the way.

Well, I don't venture out of this thread that much b/c I get sick of hearing about moral victories, excuses, shower etiquette,bamboo growing,perfect hair, orange pants, and all that crap.:crazy:

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

There are many more, most before these.

I read you.

Really?

A rock fell from the sky. Tied to it by chain and rope was a floppy disc from 1984. Someone discovered the rock and the disc. They happened to have an IBM from 1984 in the back of their 1999 Plymouth Neon. After some searching, they found somewhere to hook that summa ***** up. That place was where I happened to be dining with my wife and 2 kids. When the '84 IBM finally booted up and information on the disc loaded - it was discovered that Dooley had been fired.

...or maybe someone in the Old City started a rumor (or shared viable info) and it spread like news of that nature usually does.

You choose.

 

[xXRockyTopXx]

bump.

Anyone?

Money is not a problem. Ear marked funds and boosters can/will get it done if he wants to coach here. There are other boosters besides the Haslams.

I obviously don't buy it.

I just wondered how you start talking to random people at a restaurant about something like that.

Ha ha. This Chucky Dude just gets better and better.

I'm not trying to sell you anything.

And I'm not going to explain to you how rumors (or information) are spread in a community of 150,000 and in an area that had 2,000 people at the most in attendance with alcohol on tap.

Ah, verbal. The golden age of communication.
