Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

[volfan4evr]

SIAP..... I'm still trying to catch up but just wanted to inject this thought. I believe the "connected" posters said that Hart would not fire Dooley unless and untill he had a coach lined up. Well........guess what, he's gone!

 

[Unknown Muppet]

Really??????

They have a thread on it already. They are already desparate.

That's what I thought also.

 

[Coastypop]

Kind of funny how the "AD insiders" said all along that Hart wanted Smart then in his press conference he basically said no one without HC experience would be considered (effectively). Kind of sounds like guessing to me.

I am more comfortable with my info now than ever. Hart said everything I wanted to hear.

me too......... my confidence skyrocketed after listening to Harts Press conference....

His statements and answers to questions seemed to mirror everything that you, oldvol, Boro, Jay, DTO ect have said

 

[vol4eva]

What we've heard today makes me even more confident Gruden is our next HC.

 

[ukvols]

I said in my own words, I thought it was doubtful, But I ALSO THOUGHT we would win Vandy and we didn't. So I like most Vol fans want to believe, it sounds positive.

No.

You said Gruden was "off the table."

 

[Hyperion]

Raheem Morris saying, "Gruden would win every year at Tenn" practically gives it away IMO.

It really does seem bizarre to go out of one's way to mention that unless Gruden was in fact coming to Tennessee.

 

[jes]

If Bobby is hired I will stop respecting and defending this University...

Really?!?!

He has a very good record as a college coach and name recognition. He diddled his assistant... If he can win at UT I would help hire a whole department of fluzies for him to diddle.:whistling:

 

[babyavi]

Can anyone help me understand what he meant by some coaches will be at the NFL Hall of Fame during December?

 

[oregonvol]

Gruden immediately makes us relevant again. None of the other candidates will do that so quickly. Given what we've been going through the past several years, I think we need that immediate boost.

Gruden's a winner. There isn't a better candidate out there. I have no doubt he would win championships here. There are plenty of pro teams who would jump to hire him and I don't think there is a college team out there who would pass him up if they had the chance to hire him. If he is willing to come here, then it's a no brainer. You pay the money necessary to compete with the Floridas and Alabamas of the world and you thank your lucky stars that we were able to get him.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

I am heading that way. This chatter is positive, I am conservative, have said that multiple times. I think he would have shot a lot of this down, hasn't yet. This is crucial now that Dooley is out, that Gruden doesn't dispel the interest.

I really want him to come, I really do.

Well, I'm just glad to hear you are coming toward the light.

 

[ukvols]

are you saying you finnaly believe now?

He's already said more than once that he'd rather see USC fire Kiffin than UT hire Gruden.

I think when you get blown out by Vandy it doesn't matter either way....it's an auto pink slip.

 

[volatil]

They have a thread on it already. They are already desparate.

How old is he???? He hasn't coached in years. MAKES NO SENSE.

 

[babyavi]

No.

Link?

I have early onset dementia.

Not only that the press release was composed during the Vandy game.

 

[Coastypop]

I always told myself to wait until Dooley is actually fired. Now he is, so LETS GO!

:crossfingers:

I don't think they would have had a choice either way. If they didn't fire Dooley after last night, there was going to be a major backlash.

Is it true you'd rather see Kiffin rehired than Gruden hired? Thought I saw someone re-post your comment from the recruiting forum.

 

[spudvol]

You can get Petrino for half that amount.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

Agreed. I thought age was a big part of the reason that they got rid of him.

 

[babyavi]

He's already said more than once that he'd rather see USC fire Kiffin than UT hire Gruden.

I hate kiffin. I did say it ONCE. But don't let it deter you. Its my opinion.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

But that is just wrong.....

 

[volunteernation16]

Gruden is the best possible case scenario. I understand we may not get him but how could anyone argue against that.

 

[babyavi]

Is it true you'd rather see Kiffin rehired than Gruden hired? Thought I saw someone re-post your comment from the recruiting forum.

NO NO NO , I said I'd rather see Kiffin fired and embarrassed before Gruden. I'll own up to that. I hate kiffin, he treated us terribly here at UT.
