Official Jon Gruden Thread II (merged)

[BearCat204]

I heard that they hammered things out. However, things have gotten so quiet and tight lipped, it's hard to know anything.

If my info came after Bearcats, we are good. Before Bearcats, we have a lot of work to do.

What I was told this morning was the same I was told yesterday afternoon.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Worth a shot.

Sometimes being persistent pays off just not this time.

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Emotioally, I have to pull back somewhat. My sanity dictates that. I've been around the Vols for a long time now, and I really get excited about the prospects of finallygetting a coach that can bring us into contention each year.

I'm emotionally good right now.

 

[jhen713]

I say fire him after Saturday. And start moving ahead.no need to put off what's gonna happen anyway

As much as I think Dooley can get the job done if given another year, if he's gonna be fired, do it asap. You don't want to keep recruits hanging and a new coach coming in 2 weeks before signing day.

What will Dooley do next year that he hasn't done this year?

Im usually a persistent soma beech too.

Whoa now...if he can't get it done with Bray, Hunter, Patterson, etc this year how in the world do you expect him to get it done next year if they're gone?

By the way, how is the heck are you doing,dude? You haven't been on here much lately.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Especially with Oregon,UF, and Bama on the road.:blink:

 

['Boro-vol]

There are no "Favre" pics, are there?

You guys are passing notes in class, aren't you? No fair! We want to see them!

The Favre type pics are on a "tit for tat" basis. Pun? You decide.

[Doolittle 1720]

Was going to the game expecting a beat down, but with some hope for the future. Now I am just beat down.

 

[pattiycake]

I just want to say thanks to everyone who has and is sharing their information concerning the Gruden deal however we all have to realize that things can and do change. That doesn't mean someone is lying about what they are hearing or that their sources are wrong but nothing is official until the ink is dry and we hear an announcement from UT. If it is not Gruden then I would like to believe that we will be happy with whoever it is as long as they are good for the U and the team. Go Vols! opcorn:

Why is that? Cause things are quiet?

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Don't be beatdown,just smile.

Ive been around, to say the least.

I don't think they are all gone. I think Patterson is the only sure guy to go. Hunter hasn't shown he's 100% yet. Bray still needs a little work to be a 1st rounder. I admit that the team hasn't improved nowhere near as fast as we all would have liked under Dooley. I think Dooley can get the job done. It's gonna take another year, maybe 2 though. I understand that coaches don't get 4-5 years to turn a program around. If we had a halfway decent D we would ahve won all 3 of the games we lost. The O has not been the problem(except for maybe the 2nd half of the FL game).

 

[Blackmarket803]

Why is that? Cause things are quiet?

Probably because of the declination reports.

 

[xXRockyTopXx]

I don't think that mixed with this would get you there..

 

[MystifyingVol]

If my info came after Bearcats, we are good. Before Bearcats, we have a lot of work to do.

I'm actually okay with that, if it stays tight lipped, that means things are progressing nicely in my mind.

And plus, I won't get an ulcer between now and then.

 

[Wilson27]

I don't think Dooley could get the job done if we gave him 10 years. He is just not a good coach. His record at La Tech tells you all you need to know. His last name has gotten him this far but no more.

 

[BJWeeks]

Don't be beatdown,just smile.

Should I be worried
