Official Jon Gruden Thread II (merged)

[smokeyhuntsgators]

I feel like that all of us are sitting in a room together waiting for something to happen..That image is stuck in my head among others.

 

[shepDOG]

Shannon thread all over again. That was a sure thing too of I remember.

It was until Dools chickened out. . .

Actually it was until the last minute....

TIFWIW, heard today, if we don't land Gruden, Dooley gets another year. Not a top booster, but someone that does give a bit of money.

I'm okay with this.

 

[volfan4evr]

Hey. Just tell me what you think your waiting for? I'm all for getting Dooley out but this is all wishful thinking from where I sit. Not even sure it would be the right guy.

Shep why don't you give us your top coach's list?

 

[UT4LIFE86]

Thread gettin took over w Dooley talk

 

[tim]

When you were in elementary school, you remember that kid that you wanted to hit really bad because he was always being such a smarta$$?

So you thought about this yesterday?

:banghead2: that would just set us back even more! I like Dooley and wanted him to take us to the top...but he is way over his head

Hey. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for Gruden if we can get him. I'm just not feeling it like all of you. He would be a shot in the arm for Vol football for the first two seasons. I would think recruiting would be good also for two years. He has been out of coaching for several years now and seems I remember after the Super Bowl he won he had several bad years.

 

[shepDOG]

Rather Gruden that Smart. Tired of all these former Bamers here.

Not that I buy any of this, but this is my ideal situation. I hope this is the case.

If Dooley were to win out, I would want to keep him, obviously. Even if we were to lose to Bama, but beat USC and win out.

But, if Gruden were hired tomorrow, and that meant we wound up going 6-6... or worse, I wouldn't complain. It's gotten to that point...

Some of us did hit him, and that's how I learned what "getting chewed out" meant. :nono:

Don't understand the two year commet. Why? He has been around football ever since he left TB. If you quit driving for a while do you think you'd forget how?Just think when he starts recruiting, it won't stop at 2 years.

Just pretend you're in a Doctor's waiting room. :zeitung_lesen:

Hahaha

Lots of posters saying we'll win a NC in year two. That's BS. It will take some time to teach these kids what winning feels like. Right now, they don't know how to win. I trust what Gruden will do, but I don't put unrealistic demands on him. He's a coach, and his passion for the game game through the TV last night.

If he looses like Dooley it will last two years. Hey, he might kick butt and be on top until he leaves. I don't know? I hope he comes here and kicks butt!!!!! I'm just tired of all the craziness! Let's get back to what UT is suppose to be. Winners!

I do wanna see wins but most importantly I want to see Tennessee field teams that know how to tackle again and not make same mistakes over and over that we have seen every year since Dooley has been here. Disclipined football. Agressive in the trenches and players not afraid to get hit. Gruden is going to field a team that is mentally and physically tough. I cant wait!.

This.:good!:

Quite a few o these delusional posters thinking Gruden will come here and work miracles. I like to be realistic and not exagerate, and look at things from a rational perspective.

I could see us competing for a NC by year 4.:twocents:

 

[volfan4evr]

BTW, UT and MSU replay is on ESPNU now. Once is enough for me.

Smokey if he has the recruiting classes it takes to compete in the SEC, then yes, I do too.
