Official Jon Gruden Thread II (merged)

[smokeyhuntsgators]

On second thought I think you should go... Obviously he prefers blonds (check his wife) and I am a brunette so streak on girl!

Well, I'll just wear my orange bikini and wear orange body paint..Put my hair in a ponytail but first I need to lose about 20lbs.

Fear old people for they have survived to dance on the graves of their enemies.

I'm scared...:no:

 

[JayVols]

I understand, Jay. That's why I am so very thankful...and very happy that you were in good shape for your trip.

Thanks. I've done very well with a med change since March. Too stubborn to quit. I'm whipping this stuff's ass. Period.

 

[JayVols]

Jay, anything new in last 24hrs?

Not really.

 

[JayVols]

I'm pretty sure i'm the baby of the thread, I turned 18 two months ago. Flame away.

No shame in that. We were all there....a long time ago but there nonetheless.

 

[JayVols]

See my post above, so far I lead the young guns by a country mile.

I wish I was 18 again and knew then what I know now.

Just said on the Oregon game we are giving up 32 pts/game, the most since 1893.

 

[JayVols]

I don't doubt him in the least. I know how he feels. Time she is an evil %$#%@ LOL..........enjoy it while you can youngsters they pile on fast.

Pile on is the correct term. I was 22 when I started coaching. I had to have an umbilical hernia repair from an injury while working in a factory during the summer. I missed practice the day of the surgery, but I was demonstrating long snapping the next morning at practice. Those were the days. It hurts just to get out of bed now.

It's only because they love us.

ESPN is up over 13% this year with MNF and they consider Gruden the most important piece in the MNF program.

Can or will UT be able to outbid ESPN? Just think through that question. Its easy for everyone to say "Hey buy the whole bunch out and hire this or that coach for a big salary" but we're talking millions here........let that sink in too while your at it.

Penn State fans shouldn't be riding anyone.

Except for the children.

Sorry I couldn't help myself.

Won't matter if he wants to coach again. He can't stay away from football much longer. He has said as much on real sports. The guy is not going to be John Madden.

He's said he wants to coach again, and will if the right opportunity presents itself.

It will take money to fix this thing and to do it the right way. 8.2 million dollars were lost in 2011 in ticket sales and concessions alone. So lets look at it this way pay dooleys buyout this year we are off the hook at around a 20.2 million dollar loss or keep dooley and continue the decline with tickets etc and then we are talking 50 milliion plus in losses after revenue loss paying out dooleys full 7 years etc and thats not even counting hiring a new staff

 

[VolsFanJC]

There are variables that could factor in to stall things. Money is not one of them.

 

[Vol4ever]

Ok, this is kinda where we are.....

Can Tennessee steal Gruden from ESPN? : Outkick The Coverage

Of course this is ESPN, but it sheds light on the whole thing.

I want Gruden as much as the next guy, but lets be realistic in this thing.

People "in the know" have discussed this issue several times. Of course money is part of the process but as they have mentioned it is possible the money could be there.
