Official Jon Gruden Thread VII

[RocEtop10uhsee]

Things look good. We just have to be a little more patient, but it's a lot sooner now than it was a month ago.

I have more hope now then I did two weeks ago. Very shhhhhh sense it started blowing up

Looks to me like Jon enjoys the area and has plenty of family and friends

Is it just me, or does it seem like it's difficult for Gruden to smile? He seems like he's trying the best he can, but just can't do it. I like a coach like that haha.



This is a more natural look for Jon, it just looks "right"

We may have the same birthday?

I feel like i found my lost brah

Tax records show multiple properties in Jeff county, one of which has a house and is for sale at the moment. I guess that means he's not coming....

The people who get upset in these threads at the info are just hilarious. It is the rumor and speculation forum right? If we create a tennessee fact forum then maybe they would be happier there. Just enjoy the ride. If you are really a vol fan then just allow yourself to feel there is at the very least a possibility that we may be very good once again soon. If you think everyone is full of crap then go crawl in your hole and we we let you know when you can come out and cheer with the rest of us.

Found some big fish feeding in the back of Sams, just wouldn't bite artificials. Threw the boat at em, it was fun to watch though.

Well they do say a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work. Glad you had fun.

 

[dont114]

I need to see you in the endzone

I have no idea where that is.

 

[cbbowlingmd]

Yes, 100 percent certain.

You missed my joke.....I was trying to.....nevermind.

 

[danomite]

Well!?

Waiting on an email

Any insiders heard anything regarding Gruden speaking to Clemson OC Chad Morris? He makes $1.3 million right now, so it'll be an expensive hire. They are #7 in total offense though.

That would be a home run for an OC imo. Maybe he'll bring Ellington and Watkins too .

Think about the example of calipari & ky basketball. $ is irrelevant if you get the right guy. Right coach =recruits=wins=big $ for the university

Exactly. The model is there. It's proven to be successful. The boosters are very rich, wealthy men. You don't get that way by being stupid. They understand that sometimes you have to invest in the business to remain competitive and increase profitability.

why is that?

Babyavi is trolling it up in the recruiting forum. He's saying just because one media guy(JLC) said it doesn't mean it's right.

What " they " say is true. Thanks.


Lets not get off topic though. lol: lol: lol: lol: lol: lol: lol: lol:

You are correct. There are minor exceptions of lucking into homegrown guys who stay at one program for the long haul (Peterson in Boise) and stay competitive but overall, if you want to play with the big boys, you have to drop the cash. It's that simple.

Don't get me wrong, I do take away positive vibes from what La Canfora said, however, when I lived in DC, he was the Skins beat writer and was known as Jason La CantReporta. Also, had an unhealthy obsession with Leigh Torrence. Trolled skins fans.

However, he was obviously doing something right if he was offered a job as a national reporter with NFL network.

That's interesting. I still think he would have no reason to mention UT unless there was something to it. If he was trolling Eagles fans, he would probably throw Dallas or SD out there.

That's interesting because a couple of DC posters (former residents) validated his reputation competes opposite of what you just described.

Let him be. We're all better off if he stays over there...

I saw conflicting reports about his coaching bio. Did he coach with JG in Tampa?

Not saying he's a bad reporter at all. He's just kind of a smarmy d**che in some ways, but a good reporter. I think what he said was totally valid and a legit opinion. Tennessee isn't really relevant up there, so he had no reason to throw it out there unless he actually felt that way.

Think Hubbs with some of the minor d**che characteristics of Rucker. He is respected as a journalist.

The guys doing this aren't doing it for money because they won't ever see a dime back. They'd be doing it for love of the program.

Well said.

I hear ya and fully understand.

Folks - Cindy Brooks Gruden is from Chestnut Hill area outside of Sevier County and not very far from Newport. The couple owns 3 parcels of property in Jefferson County per the courthouse records. The extended family is well known around that area, and no, not much of anything is being said to the general public. Probably for good reasons. Forget the e-cred.

Until you hear both Hart and Jon personally say he isn't coming, you can assume there is a big red hot fire burning with lots and lots of smoke that other people are trying to put out on their behalf. Dream the dream and wait patiently. Let Dools dangle and take the whipping for a couple of weeks. He can then take his $5 mil parting gift back to Momma's house and start being Precious again.
