Official Jon Gruden Thread IX

[LazhilUT]

12k is the number and you don't start the new thread. Mods split posts out of this one to create the new one. Jeez everybody is so eager to be the one to start the thread.

Wrong! Just like all the details of this hire are under control, Gruden is who tells the mods to create the new thread...he's a control freak remember?

Jon Gruden is the Head Football Coach at the University of Tennessee

I wish I was this confident..:hi:

Ok, I was starting to doubt. But I was watching a recorded Hawai-Five O and Child's Play (Chucky) was playing on the television in the show. It's a sign.

He will seek permission on the 25th, doesnt mean he will talk to him before the pac12 champ game. Even if they deny permission, Hart will still contact him if he chooses. The ethical thing to do is ask permission first. Have heard he will also seek permission to speak with Golden and Strong as well, have not heard the dates for those.

That may be, but Strong is the only one of those names that is even remotely possible.

It reeks of "going through the motions".

I wonder why they are bothering.

 

[GmanTN]

You guys still don't get how it works after 9 threads?

Not every thread in this extravaganza makes it to 12K before it is shut down and a new one begins.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Gruden goes public I may change my mind.

Be fine with me.

 

[volatil]

I posted it because the quotes and like were gone from the boxes. Figured the thread was closed.

 

[aredfox28]

Very wrong dude. Just read Boros post and you'll feel better!

Ok bud, thanks... Whewww.. bout ruined my thanksgiving...

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

cliff notes...it's a good idea to read them before you get on here...get yourself caught up....info is there! uhhhhgghh

Can you imagine how frustrated the mods are at having to delete the posts in the cliff notes from people trying to discuss the cliff notes?
If I were them, I'd probably be banning people left and right.

Must be new then because the first 7 or 8 was whoever started it. Even a couple different mods started one.

Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and hoping to see a giant inflatable Chucky Doll!

It certainly does reek of a diversionary tactic.

There are two story lines going on here. The boosters are doing the heavy lifting on this hire. Meanwhile, the AD is putting out info that leads us to believe that they are running a normal search.

This is shy the usual insiders info. Is so different than the folks getting booster information.

:hi:...... Thank for the info, but I still do not understand the Ainge angle....

Thanks for the response though...:good!:

 

[Coastypop]

Well....any chance it will be announced tomorrow?

Yes

Damn straight

Just wondered if you know if there are rules that a certain number of interviews has to occur or that the job has to be advertised as open a certain length of time before a hire can be made?

Erik Ainge ‏@ErikAinge3
A Happy ThanksGruden to Vol Nation and all the #TSR people out there. I am thankful for so many people loving what we do! Back on Monday!

So now the AD/boosters have giving him permission to talk about it?

Don't flame me... I am just asking the question..:hi:

 

[BruinVol]

I do have a question about Ainge while we are on the subject....


I am really confused.... So the AD is so tight lipped that folks like Skeet and members of the AD department do not even know, but The AD has let Ainge know that it is going to happen and he will let him break the story if it is kept quiet.....:unsure:



Am I the only only one that reads it that way?

Your are spot on. Anybody claiming Ainge was a smokescreen last week must also justify why he has been turned loose this week to report freely when everyone in the AD is keeping things sealed tight. There is no explaination for it because it wasn't true that Ainge was ever a puppet for anybody and this week proves it.

Skeeter I am perplexed with your last post and heres why... If you are hearing we will seek permission to speak with Mora, Strong, and Golden why in the hell would you have zero info on Gruden? And, if this is the case what has Hart been doing all week? Im sure you are asking yourself the same question and thus you popped up in the Gruden threads I just cant understand the canyon of info between you and others. Otherwise, I have much respect for you for your past contributions and honesty and wish you a happy Thanksgiving.
