Official Jon Gruden Thread II (merged)

[RagingOrange]

I gotcha, and I figure you didn't. When it says @alvinkamara it means someone tweeted it at him. Unless it says

Alvin Kamara
@alvinkamara then his name being above it signals he sent it out. It can get confusing if you don't use the site.

I hate twitter...

Question for anyone in the know, are y'all certain that Hart/boosters will give Gruden whatever he wants to come here?

yes

 

[OCIVol]

The offer is still on the table. Gruden's camp has not given a yes or no. Last I heard, Lamonte contacted Hart regarding some of the terms of the deal and discussed salary pool for assistants. I will let you know if I hear more.

The AD is in a very precarious position at this point given the leaks and excitement over Gruden. If he doesn't get this done, he is going to have a huge letdown among the Vol masses and have a difficult time selling any other coach who might be hired.

He has no choice but to make this happen at this point.

I agree. What makes it worse, is that multiple sources have claimed that Gruden is interested. If it doesn't get done, the blame will fall on Hart.

Thanks for the info OCI

When they get to salary pool for assistants discussion that tells you a lot

I like Hart's moxy. The guy has gone all-in and hasn't been in the job very long.

As for Gruden not saying "yes or no" att his point, it may well be that he will not formally say "yes" until Dooley is officially fired for political reasons. Either he truly hasn't decided, or only a very select few individuals know the answer and are sworn to secrecy until the Dooley issue is resolved.

As it should.

Salary is agreed upon. Was done over a week ago. Details of control, staff salary, recruiting budgets, that is what I was told is being discussed. Again, that was about 10 days ago.

I'm sure there is other stuff. That's just what I know.

As an original 2008 Grudenite I'm ashamed to ask this, but...

Who's Lamonte?

Then why is it not resolved? I am tired of sitting in the waiting room.

Grudes agent.

 

[JayVols]

I know that. Was making a joke about the distance and McCullers size. I was about to post a pic of what was really going on down on the field at the time the picture was taken.

:good!:

Just when this Gruden stuff had made me forget all about that. Back into the bunker...

 

[Doolittle 1720]

Have to go out and play golf for while. Something I do as well as dooley coaches.

 

[Volsfan895]

anyone have a screen shot of Peyton and Haslam "talking golf" in the box Saturday? it was awesome

 

[UTodd01]

Something tells me Chucky wants to bring in another all-star staff (much like what we saw with Kiffin) and Hart rightfully has some issues with salary.

...get it done!
