Official Jon Gruden Thread 37

[Batman1948]

Bama pays their S&C coach $1MM per year. So I don't see getting a full staff for $1.85.

I don't think he makes that much but he was making around $550 K about a year ago.

Nearly a homie... Warner Robins. Have you heard anything on the coach search there?

 

[Volbrando]

Finebaum is pathetic, he knows nothing. He is a BIG TOOL, a drama hound tool and folks eat it up. Kind flip flop clip clop clown! SOON! GRUDEN TO THE VOLS!!!!!!

and if gruden is announced he’ll say how he saw it comin all along lol.

 

[lateknight]

I have this weird feeling it's going to be Bob Stoops

That’s probably just something bad you ate

 

[allvol]

Mr. SFD likes to call him Quentin Tarantino. He also called Callaway Caldwell for the first 6 games. To be fair though you can't see his name on his jersey.

It's just the SFD accent 😁

Since it's been a while...

1. He doesn't recruit, has not turned on field success into recruiting and does not seem willing to try to recruit
2. He makes no attempt to improve the facilities at Moo State
3. Is barely above Jones in SEC record. Don't care if it's in the West either because they have had some ****ty teams as well
4. Is perfectly content and the fan base, AD and boosters are perfectly content to let him earn his $4.5 million a year getting 6-8 wins and the Egg Bowl trophy every once in a while
5. Combine the above and he is not worth the money it's going to take to get him out of Starkville

But wait! There's more!

Special offer! If you call now, you also get "other teams have passed on him in the past. Probably for very good reasons. Why should UT take that chance?"

Because Dudley said so?

 

[GBO25]

Why do you care how much the coach makes?

"Gruden would be paid more than Belicheck, so we CAN'T HIRE GRUDEN"

Such a mosquito dick way of looking at it. Let's not worry about potential for wins, brand recognition. Let's not worry about the quarter billion we are about to sink into the stadium soon.

Let's worry about a relative comparison over a number that will in no way be bankrolled by you.

More like over a third of a billion $$, and with cost overruns will probably be more like half a billion $$..

Yep. I keep thinking why is the FL AD not even considering him. Makes me wonder what he knows.

You know that Stokely bought Gatorade for peanuts, and made billions? Gatorade has given far more to UT than UF. So drink up knowing those $$ come home!

I knew that it was originally produced and marketed commercially by S-VC, but they sold it a long time ago...and I do t remember them making billions from it...millions, yes. I still can’t drink I knowing it’s history in Gainesville and with Spurrier. I don’t like it anyway....it’s too salty for me.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Finebaum said no chance for Gruden, talking about Mullen, no other talk about Gruden aside from the single statement. Gruden to the Hill!!

One thing he said is absolutely true. Jimmy Sexton is hella powerful. To get that entire crew talking that much about Mullen. Incredible.

 

[SmokeyLives]

Nope. Take that Mullen carp elsewhere.

I see what you did there, we’re after the whale, keep the carp! :dance2:

 

[BearCat204]

You could tell Finebaum doesn’t have a clue he’s just speculating

He's not speculating, he is running a narrative for Sexton. Nobody with any common sense woild believe that Jimmy Sexton is a part of the UT coaching search lol.

 

[ButchPlz]

Guys, I'm hearing from a reliable source that Derek Dooley is in the lead for our coaching vacancy. AV, can you confirm?

I was born in Thomasville. Lots of family still there. Way down in south Ga.

 

[TN Outlaw]

No, plenty of hate for Mullen in other threads too.

I for one don't have a problem with Mullen.....if Gruden wants him as a QB coach or if the 1st 26 coaches say no.

No problem at all

Gruden to the Hill!!!

 

[VFLnSFD]

It's just the SFD accent 😁

Hahaha

 

[Jake]

I don't drink anything with gator in its name. UT ain't going broke cause of it.

Zactly

Congrats..AD or NG?

NG.. trying to switch over if i can

I used to live in Warner Robins

 

[jakez4ut]

Well if my top 4 coaches are not realistic then Gruden isn't realistic either.

well it's all a matter of opinion at this point.

i'm just speaking in terms of what ifs....as we all are for the most part.

do i want Gruden? sure do. think it'd be awesome. definitely #1 on my list.

love to have Franklin. he'd be 2 Fuente would be a very close 3.

now, patterson and peterson, i just don't think either of those guys is leaving, no matter what, so i haven't discussed them at all. but again, doesn't mean i'd be angry if we trotted one of them out on the stage at a press conference.

i'm pretty conservative by nature, so i have my wish list, and will be excited to see it come true.

but i prepare for the reality that I THINK is most likely to happen. so i've spent some time looking at Frost and Mullen and finding paths for why they might succeed here. and i think both could be.

don't shoot me for it, i'm not going to rain on anyone's parade here. and i'm no trying to talk you or anyone else off the gruden train. would be great if it pulls in to the station tbh.

hope that makes sense.

 

[felloffthetrain]

Had to read your post twice 😉

You're going to hear that negativity no matter what medium you use

 

[Ten_Titans]

Yeah. And when you are buying a Ferrari you don't hand the keys to Dan ****ing Mullen.
