Official Jon Gruden Thread II (merged)

[Bukstar]

So which ex-Vols play for the Bears or Lions? Will be interesting to see what Gruden says about any of them.

Either way, I'm guessing this MNF game has the highest VN viewship ever!

Niether team has a Tennessee Vol on the roster.

 

[Doolittle 1720]

With all that dooley is doing now, Hart owes him nothing on the way he goes out. Except $5,000,000.

 

[TOMU]

He was fired as AD. Blowup was with ga pres.

OK thanks

 

[volinbham]

So what has happened the past few hours? Been away from my phone all afternoon.

e-cred giveth and e-cred taken away.

rumors of official offer to Gruden (skepticism)

rumors of AD being hella-pissed at Dooley for his press conf comments (pretty well confirmed)

 

[Gramps]

i think that firing him this week will give the players a boost going into sc game...

+ 1000

OCI says a 6 yr 31.5 mil offer is on the table for Gruden. Waiting for other insiders to confirm it from here and TOS.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I want to believe. Please let this be true.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

I know it will give me a boost this week.

Same..I'll be dancing around the house all week..But you all know what I will do when Gruden is hired.

about a week or so ago, Chris Lowe of ESPN said he had dismissed rumors about Gruden, but now after talking to some people said the same as your post.

Offer is there just no one knows how much. Maybe what OCI posts is true. But that is the only offer seen or heard of at this point

 

[ITSGR82BATNVOL]

I am sure alot of coaches would have interest. Of course the 87 million dollar 12 year contract they ask for may cause some concern.

You think? They didn't when DD was hired

wouldn't that be sweet. Dooley gone. Interim gets win over chicken chokers. Can't say it was a talent issue.

oh my.

Yes, and I already said I would tag along! :dance2::clapping:

 

[vols-1]

Hope his agent isn't the same as Randy Shannon

I think I can live with Gruden being here for 6 years.:dance2:

 

[BillyHoyleVol]

If true, he still has to, ya know, accept it.

Seems like there's some legs to this Gruden thing, which is better than last time where it all pretty much got shot down as soon as it was mentioned (semi-officially).

Maybe there's hope for this after all?

First year doesn't count..... Dooley math.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

If Gruden had no interest then he would say I have no interest.

 

[volfan2024]

Jon Gruden agrees to five-year extension with ESPN - ESPN

 

[Blackmarket803]

I can see gruden now bringing chalkboard to press conference asking the media questions about football scenarios lol

"Cordarrelle Patterson, now THIS GUY...."

 

[pattiycake]

First year doesn't count..... Dooley math.

That means we get him for 7!!! :dance:

 

[AJeray4TN]
