Official Jon Gruden Thread VII

proving my point.

TROGDOR!!! Burninating the countryside! Love your avi! Brings back fond memories.

I know..me and a couple buddies at work used to watch Strongbad Emails religiously. We don't work together anymore so I haven't checked out Homestar Runner in a few years. They were really funny..."Awww, there's TWO of them," Banned in the UK, and "The Double Duece" were some of my lines.

Thanks for making me feel welcome! I am stuck in Huntsville, Ala so i am surrounded by Bamma fans. Been wanting to post but always felt like an outsider. So i appreciate the welcoming responses!!

Just tell them that Chucky is coming to the SEC and he's bringing hell with him(another poster's words..I think DynaVol).:rock:

 

[Lexvol]

Cost of living, and the state income tax point have been expressed to me as key selling points. We talked about that being a key for JG about a month ago.

Also the silence from the Gruden side of this confirms a lot of what I've been told about who is driving the behaviour surrounding all of this. Makes sense.

Thanks for sharing.:salute:

Have had similar discussions. This morning in fact.

I am sure he is still very confident but I am not sure how confident Gruden is in coming. You would be better served listening to Hubbs and company as compared to some on here. He may come but I would put it at less than 10% as have most very reliable insiders.

Basically stay off message boards and wait until the contract is signed.

Teen Girl Squad FTW. Man, that was a long time ago.

I have a different opinion, but thanks for sharing. :hi:

 

[Magic8Vol]

You still feeling Gruden, M8V?

Yes but more from what I have heard here the last few days than anything.

The academic restrictions with UT versus other SEC schools seems to be a hurdle regardless of who the coach may be.

I believe he is coming but I want to believe it so my view is slanted.

[neuteboomt]

Do you happen to remember what it said?

I can confirm this from a different source than boros

Here you go.

Gruden's silence causes me some concern. How do we know that he is absolutely committed to coming to UT? Has he verbally agreed or is he sitting on an offer? Is he telling anybody at UT anything or has he gone radio silent with them, too?

You come at us with class, we respond with class. Mr orange and OLE BALL COACH need to learn this. Thanks for the FR. :hi:

 

[DD4ME]

It cracks me up when folks in the media say this. NFL jobs have been available lately-and good ones, but Gruden has been on the sideline for what-4 years now? If that's what he wanted to do what has he been waiting for?

Partly his bucs check to run out, which happens this year.

I'll ask this. If DD sucking this badly helped to align our coaching search for the very year Gruden was looking was it all worth it? Seems hard to say yes but Gruden would be a pretty cool consolation prize.

We don't but an outright denial hasn't happened either. Keep your eye on the prize.

TIFWIW
My boss is friends with the former oline coach of the bucs who is currently unemployed thanks to the Greg Shiano hiring/Raheem Morris firing. They talk, text and golf regularly in Clearwater area. At least up until all of this Gruden talk started getting hot and heavy. About a month + ago he confirmed JG was talking to a few teams about the possibility of returing to coaching after MNF is over this year. a couple were NFL and one was UT. He wouldnt give much details other than he was seriously considering coaching again next year and UT was being considered. One plus he mentioned with UT over the NFL offers was that the cost of living here was much less and the fact that we have no state income tax made UT very attractive. one week later he confirmed that JG had decided where he wanted to go if things worked out contractually and said that JG met with him and another coach (he wouldnt say who) to gauge their interest in coming with him IF he took the job. I tell you this because two days later, when my boss texted him for an update he politely but firmly informed him that he could no longer talk, text or meet with anyone regarding JG and his future. This was at JG's request and he was very firm about it. Since then he will not take my bosses phone calls, answer texts nothing. My boss read the story from TOS today about 11/26 being JG's last day on MNF and texted him to ask and he would only say that, JG will be with MNF til the end of the year. This is the first time in 3 weeks he has even sent a reply to him regardless of the subject. This doesnt confirm anything regarding UT, only that JG is being very quite about his future and that he is demanding the same from the people around him.

That's good stuff right there, boss!

No, I just broker a lot of deals in my line of work. I know when a deal is really "done."
