Official Jon Gruden Thread II (merged)

['Boro-vol]

So, would I be safe in assuming that when/if Dooley's firing is announced after the USCe game, Gruden is our next coach?

After the public announcement things should proceed.

 

[Obsessed]

I believe that you have some reliable information and I hope it is true if we have somebody like Gruden in place. I just think it would be weird timing to can Dooley after pulling off an upset against South Carolina. And even stranger if we were to pull off the miracle of going 2-0 the next two weeks on route to a probable 9-3 season.

What would even give you the slightest inclination cdd could pull off a upset on either team?

I'm not bashing Dooley but history shows and predicts both of them as loses.

Pro Dooley guy is getting slammed by callers now. Caller just blasted him, then hung up on him lol.

If it were to pan out like you said and Dooley is still fired, then obviously Gruden is our man.
Weird?
Yes, but we would be bats**t crazy to pass on Gruden if he agreed to take the job.

Another perspective is if we get beaten to a pulp by Bama, and SC loses to Florida. Then SC brings a 2 loss streak into our game, a win over a team that loses two in a row a job saver? I dont think so. It also seems the powers that be are putting very little stake in this happening, otherwise there would have been at least a statement of support for this staff in the face of the outcry for Dooleys head.

I do not remember ever the rock being painted twice in the same week with anti (any coach) messages. Fellas this feels like bottom!

There is an old saying, you have to strike while the iron is hot.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Okay, which one of the Doolrites who post here is Pro-Dooley guy?

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Why is this guy yelling at Ainge?

 

['Boro-vol]

Okay, which one of the Doolrites who post here is Pro-Dooley guy?

No telling. Both the debators are somewhat less than highly functional however.

 

[Obsessed]

Why is this guy yelling at Ainge?

That's tr. it's just him. He's like that all the time.

 

['Boro-vol]

Why is this guy yelling at Ainge?

That caller,TR, does a lot of bath salts I think.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

You or Jay should call in.

 

[Maverick1921]

Sorry I was referencing the debate going on on the Erik Ainge radio show. They have one "Pro Dooley" and one "Anti Dooley" debating about what Tennessee should do.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

That's tr. it's just him. He's like that all the time.

Oh, I just got the app yesterday. He sounds like a finebaum caller! Lol

 

['Boro-vol]

You or Jay should call in.

No thanks. Showing either one of these guys up would be like picking on the kid with scoliosis in gym class dodge ball.

All true. Another angle on this is SC has a two game losing streak, then the UT game is a must win for them. A lot of money is at stake over which bowl game they go to.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Yeah, I'm listening also.

 

[Obsessed]

Yes he does. But he calls all the shows and acts same way. I haven't listened in a couple of weeks. I kinda miss cattleman calling in lol

 

[Maverick1921]

Yeah, I'm listening also.

Ok, I see what you were asking now... sorry about that

 

[volfan4evr]

Butt chugger.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Butt chugger.

A champion.

 

[VolinArizona]

Can't wait to revisit this in December.

 

[Thrasher865]

They were referencing the Shannon hire....which many here agree was a done deal until the last hour. Other than that I've predicted very little.

Doesn't really matter, I have no ego tied up in this. My fanclub can say what they want.

No, they didn't mention the Shannon hire, as it's pretty clear that was legit. Several other topics that I cannot recall.

LOL....well, that settles it then.

Go with that.

 

[JayVols]

The pro Dooley guy is using the excuse of Dooley needs more time to get his own tallent on the team, and his guys are only juniors, no senior leadership blah blah blah.
