Official Jon Gruden Thread II (merged)

[gordonr24]

lol: you know what I meant lol:

I know. I know. I just wanted to give Doyle a hard time. :hi:

 

[Jax_Vol]

Not yet. He's only breathing hard at the moment.

At this point, he is still thinking about baseball

 

[VolMaster14]

Damn made me laugh and I've got the flu. I sound like an 80 yr old weezy!

Strike one

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

I'd hate Doyle too. He was an abusive drunk that met his fate.

There you go talkin to me like that again when you know I'm hurtin!

 

[Incipient]

Wait, you guys are saying this is so far along that boosters have agreed to:

1) pay Dooley's 5mil
2) pay Jon's buyout (which has to be huge since ESPN got that provision)
3) pay Jon a salary of 5+mil

I'll admit I'm not in the "UT loop," but yikes that seems like a lot even for an SEC school.

I know it's hard to believe, but that's pocket change to some people in this world.

 

[Vol2424]

Hey 24, did you catch the link I posted on the last page? One of the guys made it seem like it was no biggie, but if the deal included a provision that bars him from leaving, it seems like that would be relevant. Maybe this has already been answered 50 pages ago...

We have known about this for a while. It's really not a big deal. That is coming from those who have legit info. I'm no insider , but OV , DTO , 'Boro , Jay and a few others have been saying this stuff for weeks and everything they are saying is starting to come together.

 

[gordonr24]

There you talkin to me like that again when you know I'm hurtin!

You need to sober up!

 

[Obsessed]

Arky got Gruden. They remodeling his office now.

We are getting Houston nutt

Sorry guys but the magic eight ball has spoken.

not when your boosters operate dish network, own the cleveland browns, own the pilot corporation and quarteback the denver broncos, and just have alot of fricken money in general

 

[Tn Tech Volunteer]

Most definitely.

Duh! There are plenty of "big boned" white girls here in cookeville. Haha I attended when our biggest star was Lee Sweeney.....

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Tick tock

 

[HOLLYWOOD KOBE]

payout is about $136,000 a month over 3 years.

Yea, so that takes care of Dooley. But, Gruden is the NFL face of ESPN. With all the joke color "experiments" they've tried (Rush Limbaugh?lol), it's hard to see how it could be so easy to pull him off that show. Again, maybe people here know more than me, but that must be a massive check since the extension went into affect last month.

 

['Boro-vol]

Boro... Have you heard that there are 2 members of the staff that he is required to keep through 2014-2015 if he takes the job?

There are two staff members that have 3 year contracts independent of Dooleys.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

You need to sober up!

Alright. Okay.
I'm gonna go home and sleep it off.
I hope all you freaks are happy!

Don't you think he would be smart enough to have an "out" for coaching in his contract?

 

[BurninOrange]

So Boro in your best educated guess. How close are we to seeing Gruden on the Vols sidelines next year or possible this year?

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

Everybody straighten up. We are in the pesence of a true hero now.

What's up my brother?

Just a concerned Vol fan here. Wondering what direction we go in now. Hopefully we hit a home run with this next hire. I can't take 3 more years of this sh!t!

Can say it enough. Ergen is worth 9 billion. He was sitting with Peyton at the game last night along with Haslam. I don't believe they were talking about giving Dooley a contract extension.

Hhhhmmmm

Okay.. Thanks.. That would make since then... I think One of them is JG... Who is the other one (please)?

I'm with you. How much longer are you in?

I know Graham's one of them.:unsure:
