Official Jon Gruden Thread VII

[ukvols]

If it's Smart, I'm extending the decision I made regarding Dooley, which is that I won't attend another game until the current coach is either fired or beats a ranked team. If it's the latter, I'll concede.

No more Saban/Bama guys. Smart may end up being a good HC somewhere, or he may not. He's just a horrible fit for UT right now.

If I lived in Knoxville, I may give anyone a chance. IDK.
But, I live eight hours away. So, I'm out if it's Smart.

Thank God this game is going into OT!:dance2:

More Gruden! Can you handle it?

 

[jos3ywales]

Per their insiders...He has already signed the MOU and will announce tomorrow or Wed.

thats the funniest thing I have heard in a long time Gruden would go to Philly before that ratt hole I would think

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

More Gruden! Can you handle it?

Always!

 

[Ut_Airade_Attack]

The Pigs can't compete with our facilities, Tradition, or Money from Boosters so they think they have Gruden ready To sign huh?

Pig fans are hilarious.

 

[OLE BALL COACH]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!! NO Kirby Smart. That would be idiotic if you have a chance at Gruden! Don't make me come down there Hart!

All of you realize of course that you have gone full retard if you think UT will get Gruden. Peyton Manning also owns property here and flys into Knoxville on occasion does that mean we have a chance at him to?

 

[Wilson27]

Hart needs to go yesterday if any of this is true. Better be a smokescreen

 

[AllVolinGA]

You think these guys are insane, check out grudenville.com. Press conference Tues or Wed per them.

Their biggest argument against us getting Gruden is they say we are broke and they aren't. They also seem to think we will not hire a big named coach. They try to ignore any of the connections JG has to Tennessee probably because the lack of connections he has with them.

If they get him...congrats on pulling it off but IMO there is 0% of that happening. We will see!

Well they may get him but I think having. #18 in our corner talking to him is a big factor. Plus money is relative seeing as how we can make almost 1.5x the money they make on a home football game. You give us 7 sellouts with JG as the hf next year plus big bowl money, no money problems.

 

[LittleDTO]

Per their insiders...He has already signed the MOU and will announce tomorrow or Wed.

He was supposed to announce every week this year. There is zero talk about Gruden to Arkansas in the regular media. Only their stupid little "pigsty" of a board.

Not at all dissimilar to what some on here are saying. You're all being duped.

 

[TOP]

The Pigs can't compete with our facilities, Tradition, or Money from Boosters so they think they have Gruden ready To sign huh?

Actually they just got new facilities and their boosters can pay Gruden 6 or 7 million too. They have the Walton's(Walmart).

Our facilities are still probably better but not sure.

Our tradition is way better though and our stadium holds 30,000 more. Plus, Gruden has family in Tennessee so I'd assume he'd rather live here than Arkansas.

 

[Godfatha]

I'm not saying that, Godfatha. Just commenting that the AD needs to make his own decision because, when all is said and done, the success or failure of the hire is going to be on him, not the boosters.

I'm not on board with a Smart hire (yet), as I truly believe Grudes is the right guy. But Hart has to decide for himself because it's his job that's on the line with this hire.

I understand, amigo. I just have little faith in our AD to do the right thing. Maybe I'm a little gunshy from the Hamilton years, but this Smart talk sickens me. The boosters stepping in gives me hope because they're the ones who bleed orange.

 

[Tn Tech Volunteer]

No more than he has referenced other schools.

That is what I was thinking. I also feel like he has to know how bad the vols want him. If he knows he is not coming like these people say, then keep our name out of your mouth! We are fragile fans here. By the way I am full Gru!

 

[67volbabygirl]

That is why I was so underwhelmed when UT hired Smart. My immediate response was that he hadn't hired either Bowden or Saban. The one thing that kept me positive about it was that he at least saw firsthand, at Bama, what spending money to get a top football coach can lead to.

I assume you meant to say Hart not Smart. I had the same thought as you when he was hired. The only difference is Bama has 100 million in the bank and we are sitting holding a 3.98 million dollar deficit.

 

[volatil]

All of you realize of course that you have gone full retard if you think UT will get Gruden. Peyton Manning also owns property here and flys into Knoxville on occasion does that mean we have a chance at him to?

When you say "we" you don't mean it.

 

[jos3ywales]

He was supposed to announce every week this year. There is zero talk about Gruden to Arkansas in the regular media. Only their stupid little "pigsty" of a board.

I was about to mention I have heard not one thing in the Media nor online about Gruden to the pigs

 

[Wilson27]

All of you realize of course that you have gone full retard if you think UT will get Gruden. Peyton Manning also owns property here and flys into Knoxville on occasion does that mean we have a chance at him to?

..as long as you are calling names you are full retard if you don't think the type of money that is being talked about wouldn't interest him. One more to ignore.

 

[Blackmarket803]

I hope Hart knows that this fanbase will explode if he hires Kirby Smart. That being said, there's no way it happens.

 

[OLE BALL COACH]

I would like to nominate The Hoody for the UT job.I think he would leave the Pats for enough money dont you.

 

[UTvols365]

What did Gruden say?? “@ClayTravisBGID: Dozens of y'all have Tweeted me about Gruden saying UT tonight on MNF and using an orange pen. #gruver”.

 

[FearlessFreep]

Not sure who would go to Fayettenam voluntarily.

 

[Blackmarket803]

All of you realize of course that you have gone full retard if you think UT will get Gruden. Peyton Manning also owns property here and flys into Knoxville on occasion does that mean we have a chance at him to?

Thanks for dropping by. That is a nice pic of you in your avi.

 

[VFLBerg]

He mentioned Eric Berry Tennessee Volunteer.

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

Mentioned Eric Berry was from UT after making a great play.

That is all.

Very true DTO! :thumbsup:
