Official Jon Gruden Thread II (merged)

[KappinSpaulding]

Was just told the following:

8 Years, $50M base.

Agreed upon.

Gruden will not take any action until an action on Dooley is taken.

Dooley has been told he will not return officially as HC.

Announcement next week on Dooley.

Dooley will NOT finish out the season.

Unknown on interim status for the rest of the year.

I hope you're right. Where did you hear it from? Does it have legs? All of these Gruden rumors cause some doubt.

 

[VolGirlinGA]

Makes sense. Pay what ya have to to get the big fish.

Amen!

(of course it's not MY money so I'm totally down)

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Ah yes - I can see all the important work you are getting done.

This week(s) there is a very noticeable dip in productivity graph for me.

 

[DocVol]

How will that work though, if Hart won't officially can Dooley until we get Gruden on the hook and Gruden won't sign until Dooley is canned?

Any lawyers want to chime in on how it may play out?

It would seem risky unless there is some binding pre-contract

Agreed upon only. Not contractually.

 

[UTFanForLife]

Wow on the $50m.

6.25 is a big base salary

 

[HausVol]

Oh but. I have lol

There have been a couple of UT players from the big town of Spring City

 

[BearCat204]

[VolMaster14]

Reliable.

Return of the chub epper:

Maybe BOOM!

Yes just as Saban's 5M set a standard. If true, we are now the trend setters.

If it is true, we bet have some serious results. Also hope there is enough money on the table for quality assistants.

 

[bcartervol98]

Hope this isn't BS.

Skeptical, not saying it is wrong, but doesnt line up with anything I have heard. I hope its true and if so, he cannot say no to that offer. I think they can or will get him for less than 8 yrs and $50m.

Pay what you have to pay to win. I like it.

Can we get secondary confirmation on this???

Is this solid?
I'm not being negative. I'm just not getting worked up again for the big let down.
Jay, OV, DTO, Boro?

 

[volinbham]

6.25? Insane.

 

[VolMaster14]

If this happens and can get Tyler to stay, the QB guru will have him winning the Heisman next year!

If this is true....I'm glad we finally have an AD with the gonads necessary to shell out the money we need to get the right coach. That's an incredible contract. I'm guessing the announcement will come after the SC game. Reason being, give Dooley a fighting chance to win the game. If we announce him gone, there's not a chance in the world our guys get up for that game. However, once they get blown out, then it will only make sense to fire him. Honestly, we will probably make JC the interim. Not sure if that's the best choice, but I don't really trust any of the assistants to do it.

Here's to Gruden! Please say yes!

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Hope this is not just BS.

We all do

 

[volinbham]

This week(s) there is a very noticeable dip in productivity graph for me.

same for me although instead of week(s) I'd say decade(s)

 

[HausVol]

Skeptical, not saying it is wrong, but doesnt line up with anything I have heard. I hope its true and if so, he cannot say no to that offer. I think they can or will get him for less than 8 yrs and $50m.

Could this be the counter offer

 

[gcbvol]

Wow on the $50m.

Agreed. If accurate, that would certainly validate what we've heard about the big guys getting serious.

 

[pattiycake]

Hope this is not just BS.

+1 :dance:
