Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

[ukvols]

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

They didn't, and I'll give you credit if it ever leaks out that he donated 15. I just find that number hard to believe and was a little floored when you posted it hours after appearing to agree with OldVol that the number shouldn't be posted.

 

[volatil]

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?

You hire Jon Gruden and recruiting will NOT be an issue.

If its Gruden, expect a top 8 class.

again, I don't remember things well, I was not kidding. I'm sorry if i agreed to not share it and then did, my fault, and i hope it didnt hurt any type of agreement.

He needs to buy a Lay's distribution center to really capitalize on the new laws.

Peyton is unlike 90% of the athletes out there, he is actually smart with his mony and invests...

 

[EZE]

According to Rucker the top plan is to make Gruden say no. I know you guys don't like Rucker but he's usually a negative guy.

According to many on here, Gruden has already said yes, at least to a MOU. Let's hope that is true.

Maybe Manning pledged $3M/yr over 5 years, but even that is a stretch.

I was going to say, genius investment strategy.

Who knows how he gives the money. I just heard that number. Several others you guys respect in the know heard the same.

 

[BruinVol]

Aren't we hearing only the part of the presser we wanted to hear???

IMO celebrating that smart isn't an option unless you are also willing to believe hart has done zero back channeling for the job. I prefer to think everything he said in the presser wasn't gospel.

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

I agree.

But, 15 is a huge % of Peyton's bank account, relative to the billionaires who also donate.
It's possible that Peyton pledged 15. I just find it hard to believe that the billionaires would let him, even if he wanted. Compared to Haslam, Peyton giving 15 million would be like me giving a few thousand. It's possible. It's just not necessary and is therefore not likely.

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."

I agree with that as well UKvols....

but we are all Vols.. I just think we have been through the worse and this should be a timme of healing old wounds....no matter who is right and who is wrong

 

[vol494]

This just in... Stokes is a man amongst boys. Now back to Gruden.

Yes, but he doesn't have to backchannel. Boosters can do it for him.

 

[ukvols]

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.

I can Like this one.
Sounds like you are coming around.

 

[volatil]

Ok there is now a thread claiming we are in negotiations with Urban Meyer. Stay in here guys/gals.

 

[247VOL365]

I know, I'm just trying to put together the $15M I originally read with the $3M I read today. Common denominators, and all.

 

[Yay4Bray]

Yes, but he doesn't have to backchannel. Boosters can do it for him.

This is exactly what has taken place.

I am staying right here. :blink:

Oh gawd. It is getting rowdy out there.

 

[Coastypop]

depending on timing of the announcement... but if it comes in Dec as HArt aluded to and it is Gruden a top 10 for sure
