Jon Gruden thread (merged)

you rang,darlin'?

help!

On a side note...I'm in BG tonight....any dining recommendations besides Mariahs?

Not really...Food in BG is so weak that everyone has gone crazy about the Mellow Mushroom.

Shogun is good.

I like Rafferty's a lot, but I realize that I am low class.

Parker's bbq used to be good down on 68-80.

I also like the Brisket Sandwich at Smokey Bones.

I realize that most of these chain suggestions make a lot of people laugh. But, IMO, the chains in BG are a lot better than the non-chains --save Mariah's.

will Jon accept the job on national TV?

"I'm taking my talents to Knoxville, peace out"

He says as he throws his headset on the floor.

Good Lord what happened in here today?!?!!?!!
Go to work and come home to 60+ new pages?
Where is Smokey!!!!!!! I need a cliffnotes version of this, or an IV for dehydration after catching up!
How many burned up keyboards today?

New poster, VFL1, sounds legit, says Gruden has interest and is willing to listen, will take $5 mil to get him and if we decide to fork it over, he will become our next coach.

My conclusion was the correct one.

Also, don't look now, but I think we just agree on their rationale for saying 7-5 is good enough.

If Dooley is retained after 7-5, then everyone supporting that will get exactly what they deserve with next year's abomination. Unfortunately everyone else will continue to suffer as well.

That would be funny as hell.

Who's Clause?

Dooley's buyout Clause. It's covered.

help!

Well, make sure your IV is working properly b/c you will totally enjoy catching up..Lots of good news! I'm feeling very confident that our dreams will come true!:dance2:

Now for the bad news, this thread will end at 12000 posts but the good news is that I have recruited a few to start up another one..So that is taken care of.:thumbsup:

Exactly. If we keep Dooley, we won't be in a bowl next year.

He wouldn't say much. He's keeping things pretty close to the chest. We all hope that he is on to something.

Are you a former Vol?

Love me some shogun.

Me too.

That's what Tennessee would do to opponents with J-Grud

 

[JayVols]

Funny, it's always people who have no idea what's going on who post this. The people who matter (SBV) have already said that there is substance to this, better hop on the train before it leaves you behind.

Time for 2hrs of yardwork, but plenty of reading material during MNF.

When you look strictly at recruiting the fear factor arises when you talk about a coaching change.

Then the question arises, is a recruiting class (assuming it just blows completely up and we sign next to nothing. Which I don't see happening) worth keeping a coach that has not earned another season here.

At would be a no.

The recruiting mentality is what inspired the thought-devoid-process that got us Dooley to begin with.

And here's an idea. Recruiting may actually pick up if you bring the right coach in and do it in a timely manner.
