Jon Gruden thread (merged)

You don't think Hart plans on giving him next year?

Why would he? If he can't get it done with the players he has this year, just imagine what 2013 will look like.

 

['Boro-vol]

I'll play the odds and say he's fired after USCe

That seems the most likely time for an announcement.

That seems the most likely time for an announcement.

Dooley has gotten two strikes with USC. Majors only got one and Fulmer only got 2.

Boro, DD isn't going to be gone based off of losing to a top 5 team on the road. Sorry dude. That's not how it works. If he slips up against Troy, vandy or ky and doesn't win one more of the other, you may get your wish, but it won't be from a loss on the road to Uganda

Maybe Hart should wait until January and the final rankings to see where our opponents all finish...

That's irrelevant to the issue at hand. Dooley's here to win football games regardless of where the opposition is ranked.

An UGA win can and will save Dooley's job if he can play decently --8 or 9 wins total (8 only if he is competitive in every game except Bama) for the rest of the season.

It's not about "you should beat Georgia." (That's a tough place.) It's about can you do something heroic --which you have never done before-- and save your job. A loss this week and the wheels likely come off (or stay off, whatever the case may be)?

You guys think because I make a statement, that its my opinion of what is right or wrong. I can understand why people want a change. Doesn't bother me a bit. I am just giving you the stance of the AD that I believe to be accurate

 

[JayVols]

It's not based off one loss to a top 5 UGA....and you know it. Its based off of the inability to beat any of our big 4 rivals since he's been here. It based on the pattern of underachievement.

The Florida meltdown caused it.....the Akron struggle put the exclamation point on it.

I stand by what my Letterman friend told me. This is someone who currently does business with the AD and is active with the Letterman Club.

Your Letterman friend doesn't have a clue. As a matter of fact, you're just spreading unfounded rumors....

Its called sarcasim.

 

[Thrasher865]

Yet to hear Gruden elude to anything Vol related in the game tonight, some people are reaching way too hard for something that is not there.

Why would he? :ermm:

"There's no way that was a catch. You can clearly see possession by the defender at the highest point. On a side note, HOW 'BOUT THEM VOLS?"

 

['Boro-vol]

And I'm giving you info that's not mine, but that of people I know and trust to give me an accurate assessment. A win buys Dooley time, and delays a decision. A loss is the final nail in the coffin.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

 

[Thrasher865]

We'll still have AJ Johnson and a lot of talent on defense with another year of experience.

Maybe Peterman will be starting and playing well. You can't predict how successful a running/mobile QB can be. They can overachieve in college, especially if they can throw the ball. I don't understand why people assume that as soon as Bray and Hunter leave, this team will go to ****.

I think he was messing with you.

Oh....tough to keep up with who's who sometimes.

I think we could have gotten him before we hired Lane.

Sarcasm is hard to convey via text.

Text is very subjective indeed. My humble apology.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

But they are irrelevant because you say you have a source?

Gotcha...my sarcasm meter is broken apparently.

 

['Boro-vol]

Irrelevent to me, yes. But you are welcome to believe, or know, or express whatever you like. One of us will be proven right eventually, and one will be proven wrong. Regardless of which, life, and football will continue.

You're a faceless screename on a message board that has zero bearing on my life in the grand scheme. Perhaps you should view me the same way.

Deep thoughts in this post....
