Official Jon Gruden Thread 37

[KnightVol]

Orange Pill — I appreciate the info, however any indication that JG would coach in whatever low-level bowl we may possibly make is ludicrous.. almost destorts the entire post IMO

I agree with this.. Would be a disrespect to the coaches that somehow found a way to win these last two games. Not Grudens style. Also, If we land Gruden, it would be on him to get the OC he wants.

Finebaum is an idiot. he just said Tennessee does not expect championships

 

[Stoked]

I do not think Pill is a troll. He/she just relaying everything he/she is hearing and it's from a couple of sources with one being a BOT memeber. I'm pretty positive that he/she
called the Tampa meeting before anyone else. When it comes to Tee I'm pretty sure he's in. Tuesday's 150% says it all imo

*I said he/she because I think I saw that Pill is a woman but I'm not 100% sure?

 

[thevolwalker]

That makes more sense. Maybe the offers to Tee from GS and possibly UTEP is why Briles name started getting thrown around (the son).

Would love to see little Briles as our OC. His offense is as good as it gets in college right now.

Dear OrangePill,


STFU

 

[Paukotajs]

FInebaum and tebo trashing tn on sec network saying tn doesn't expect championships. Florida is up there with Alabama with championships. I hate these guys...

Yeah I’m not sure any other on the panel agreed with him either. He’s a nutcase. Prob groping himself thinking of Saban under the desk

Morning, all!

Great post, OrangePill! Thanks!

You know, my thoughts this morning are with the Seniors. I hope they have a better experience with these last two games.

I’m trying to imagine how the Seniors will feel when Gruden is announced. If it were me, I’d be so sad that I spent my years with Butch, while the younger players are gonna get Gruden.

Enjoy the game! Make sure you dress warm and take ponchos. 👍

He changed his post now. This is backtrack #2 for her/him so far. Claiming to know who beaver and Bubba were is #1

 

[Greenmachine]

Lol some of this stuff is so far fetched you have to applaud the imagination that came up with it...

 

[VFLnSFD]

Dear OrangePill,


STFU

Why don't you?

You do realize there are physicians that are board certified in Preventive Medicine, Occupational Health, and Public Health whose specific purpose is for disease prevention, right?

The road to wellness starts with chiropractic care.
Everything in the entire body is controlled by nerve flow. Messages from the brain, sends signals down the spine, then through spinal nerves then those nerves branch off to different target areas in the body.
Just like the skull protects the brain, the vertebrae that makes up the spine, protects the spinal cord.
The opening that the spinal nerves exit the spinal cord are made of two vertebra coming together, one above and one below. Some times vertebra will get misaligned and cause subluxations, intervering with the nerve flow. Our bodies will either correct the subluxated vertebra or adapt to the subluxated vertebra. When we adapt, that’s when things can cause problems, over a long period of time, ie muscle strain, disc problems, symptoms of problems.
Pain is like a check engine light is in your car. It tells your something isn’t right, but it doesn’t tell you exactly was wrong.
Chiropractic isn’t just for relieving back pain or neck pain, it helps with overall body function as well.

TIFWIW....LWS on tos



“LOL. I been recording a ton of games to watch potential coaches.



I'm hearing what was dead this morning seems to have risen. Still digging around to see to what degree. I'm still quite skeptical it goes anywhere.



On others Currie working to be ready to move post Vandy game.”

I can't stand finebaum. Like nails on a chalkboard when anything comes out of that idiots mouth.

 

[Switch 625]

Did Finebaum really say nobody remembers Peyton all that well?

Yes

 

[tennesseeduke]

Finebaum said Tennessee isn’t as big of a stage as Florida

Buck finebum!

:loco:

Enjoy... I'm not sure there is much more for me to find out at the moment. I'll let you know if I hear anything new, but at this point I believe we're just waiting for an announcement.

Buyout:

• Buyout terms were agreed upon prior to the Tampa meeting.
• Don't know the exact terms, but was told that it is "very open on both ends" allowing both sides an easy exit.
• Gruden's agent initially wanted them to have a liquidated-damages clause of 0 and Tennessee wanted a mutual buyout. This was the eventual compromise.

Endorsements:

• Since first contact a major source of contention has been Gruden's current and future endorsements.
• Frankly I don't think my two sources know how this ended up turning out and they acted like it may still be an issue.
• As best as I understand it, Gruden does not want Tennessee meddling in his endorsements, while Tennessee is adamant that he will need to drop endorsements.
• I got the feeling money wasn't the issue, but it was more of an issue of principle with Gruden.

Additional contract info I picked up:

• Gruden has an out-clause on his ESPN contract. No buyout.
• Was told a contract length of 4 years by one person, other did not know.
• 3 leased vehicles.
• "Around 25" season tickets.
• Bonus of 1m.
• Not as heavily incentivized as rumors have said. Base salary is pretty close to total salary.
• Around 9m with around 1.5m in bonuses.
• I wasn't given exact numbers on the salary so I would take that number with a grain of salt.

Staff:

• Most of the staff-related issues I referenced two days ago I found out centered around Tee Martin.
• Gruden has placed a great deal of importance on Tee due to his recruiting prowess.
• Gruden has made it clear that he does not want to be on the road recruiting every single free night, and he feels (whether right or wrong), that having Tee on staff will take a lot of that pressure off of him.
• When Tee was contacted 2 weeks ago it appeared as if there would be little to no resistance on either side if Gruden was hired. Things became complicated late last week when Tee was contacted by Georgia Southern. Another source I talked to said he's also been contacted by UTEP, but I'm not as confident in that source.
• Tee is currently in limbo and no one I talked to knows who a potential replacement would be.

Timing:

• Gruden has no interest in coaching this year.
• He will not coach vs. Vanderbilt regardless of when an announcement is made.
• If we somehow win the next 2 games he would be involved in the bowl preparation.
• Due to that he prefers an official announcement on 11/28, with controlled leaks beginning on 11/26.
• As of 2 days ago the AD had pushed for an announcement on 11/21 with controlled leaks beginning on 11/20.
• Not sure what they've agreed on to be honest.

Source Confidence that deal is done:

• I was able to talk to 2 of my 3 sources face-to-face yesterday and they both say that the deal is done.
• Last time I talked to my main source they seemed confident as well.
• I have no reason to doubt them.

A lot of this is feasible and believable.

The part about coaching a bowl game seems unlikely.

Probably been posted but just wanna contribute a bit lol

This seems very legit. Or only because I want it to

Error

 

[UT_VOLS13]

Keep seeing 11/26 pop up on here. I assume since there will be OVs the day before they start leaking it to the recruits that day right? If of course it is Gruden and the target date is 11/26

11/26/2017 (11+26+17=54) Jon Gruden is 54

 

[volfan1631]

ESPN 105.1 literally just said Jon Gruden HFC at UT... then nothing else...

We need an audio link

 

[tngivem6]

Wow, I get on here this morning to check for new Grumors and end up giving a mini health Talk.
Gruden threads are like “a box of chocolates. You never know what your get.”

[BearCat204]

Well, since he's had the #1 recruiting class several years in a row, my guess is pretty hard.

He closes.... He isn't on the road constantly recruiting players.
