That would be priceless Jay.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Don't be mad when that terrible coach of yours is fired.

This.

Seriously 'Boro, how can that not be a concern? I know Haslam supports UT but he has now spent a huge amount of money on the national stage. Why would he not want to protect that investment first, if he is sold on Gruden?

Should have been more specific. I was referring to Cleveland.

Because he bleeds orange, duh.

eta, when I say orange I mean pantone 151 not Cleveland carrot orange.

Because this is how big dogs gamble...not only does he get to fix the Browns, he also fixes UT, and Bammer...all are relevant to his interests...

Poker is for chumps to these guys...

 

[MedicT]

Yeah, but you do not acquire that kind of wealth without occasionally bleeding green or preventing bleeding green, metaphorically speaking.

OK...I believe, now. I've heard some things today that definitely are in line with what's been posted about Dooleys future and contact with a coach. One gentleman has known something for over a week and the other guy pulled up David Blackburn's contact card on his phone just to prove he's connected. Coach Gruden was never mentioned by name, both people (coworkers) agreed that they've heard that all signs point to Gruden.

Jay, bcarter, dto: what is the time frame regarding when all this started? I think I may be coming across the same info you've gotten.

Ok. Listen to me on this.....

Who is Gruden's mentor?

Mike Holmgren.

Do you honestly think that Gruden is going to step into a role where his biggest mentor was just let go?

No. Had Holmgren stayed, It might have been an afterthought.

Good point. I haven't considered the Holmgren connection.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

So, any new news? Or we keeping things quiet for a really good reason?

 

[JayVols]

Good point. I haven't considered the Holmgren connection.

Officially Holmgren is 'retiring'. I should have said that, but it's more like a Charlie Baggett 'retirement'.

 

[Godfatha]

Don't be mad that you Grudenites aren't going to get your way.

Don't be mad that your way sucks.

 

[RagingOrange]

Ok. Listen to me on this.....

Boom.

It's been going down for some time. Picked up speed after UF game.

 

[JayVols]

['Boro-vol]

S'up KHV?

 

[vol4eva]

Is this the official positive thoughts about Gruden thread?

When posters continue to visit this thread and essentially call peoples info FOS is when there's a problem. What's the point? I don't mind constructive debate, but the above is just asinine.

Smokey, I know negotiations go back and forth, but if they hit a snag can we count on you go go down to Tampa and straighten them out? :dance2:
