Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

[Doolittle 1720]

Anybody else notice Hart mentioning J Graham's name twice today? Pretty sure one time was when answering a question about recruiting going forward. Just sayin.

I also found that interesting as if he knew Graham would be here for the long run.

I'm with Coasty on this. Bury the hatchets and let's Grude forward.

Grude forward.... I like that

What Rucker said is a good thing, Gruden is the plan.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

Thank the lord. Cheek sucks.

I'll second it. Someone put it up for a vote.

He said Peyton gave $15 million.

The height of Babyavi's credibility in here was the night that he texted back and forth with OldVol in code about Peyton's involvement, hinting that he was donating money. One of them appeared to be saying that Peyton would not want too much disclosed. Then, the very next afternoon, Babyavi posted an exact amount.

$15 million would be quite a chunk of change for Peyton, relative to our other boosters, like Haslam. I don't believe it.

I thought I read somewhere in here $3 million.

The Grudenville people have returned and are as dumb as ever.

They're convinced we're too late in getting Gruden and he is a done deal. lol:

lol.. I know... I went over to read... One guy said that JG wouldn't coach here, because he and Cindy wanted to retire here...

Figure that one out....:unsure:

Hey guys....You all know I have been on the Gruden band wagon from Thread I
There are a lot of people in here who have disagreed with us in the past; some even trashed us hard.....

But if they want to join in now and say Gruden is coming, let’s put it behind us, no eating crow, we are ALL VOLS.....JMHO

I am 100% cool with any Vol fan who is only just now jumping on the bandwagon of wanting Gruden and believing it can happen.

I'm just not interested in anyone jumping on now, only to jump right back off if he decides not to come, and turn right around and say, "I told you so."

Graham is the one guy I hope they will keep.

Supposedly, he's been studying Oregon's offense, I don't know if that means he'll use it here.

You think he could get Helfrich to come with him . He is "only" making $400,000 a year

Ertel said that. But BORO/OV have not denied that number I posted.

$15 million dollars isn't **** to Peyton Manning

I'd be willing to double it if he is willing to come and try to replicate the success Oregon has.

Rucker =

I am not Rucker!!

This happens a lot. I will be disappointed if it does not happen, but there are a lot of positive signs. I'm old, but confident UT is going to be great again.

You did. Someone posted that.

$3 million from Peyton is much more believable.

 

[247VOL365]

Didn't I see in here earlier that it was $5M from Big Jim and $3M from Peyton? I saw that sumwhur.

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

I also found that interesting as if he knew Graham would be here for the long run.

He was a hot commodity with the stats from USCe and with what he's done this year he would be an asset to any SEC school. Regardless if it's Gruden or someone else, Graham is all Vol and needs to be in Knoxville.

 

[247VOL365]

oops, I was beat to the punch

 

[yrock777]

I caught that, too!

oh im so sorry! don't misinterpret it, I meant the butt hurt is strong in Rucker.

That was the post I remember, but trying to find anything in this thread is hard. Gruden should have it's own Forum.

 

[cutnitclose]

No offense intended at all to yayforbray, but how credible is his stance that it is a done deal (in cliff notes) without question?

Just want to know how excited I should be.

I do not really know myself....

Others on here seem to get excited when he/she post though....

 

[Doolittle 1720]

There a lot of you in here who know a lot more about recruiting than I, to you I pose this question. Will mid Dec allow us time to resurrect this class?

 

[babyavi]

You did. Someone posted that.

$3 million from Peyton is much more believable.

From ertel? really?

I could see 15 million from Peyton.
