Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

That's what the nut i responded to said.

Good Lord..:jpshakehead:

Who wouldn't want to be the coach that brings the Tennessee Vols from a point in which they are bordering obscurity back to the top? Because, in my eyes, that's what a Gruden hire would mean. Perhaps I'm overconfident, and I in no way expect that the first year or two, but for someone with his personality, it's a new challenge that he could easily take on and at which he could succeed. We'll see how it goes, but here's hoping.

That's a good point... his (Gruden's), motivation. I would love to think that he would be interested in doing such a job, and I would be thrilled if he said as much.. but I am not hopeful of that.

God I wish Arky would go away with all there money.

You miss my point. The stability I am talking about is KNOWING that he will be here for a long time. I am sure he could do a bang up recruiting job just like the other pro coach we tried. I guess I am concerned that the siren's song would come from somewhere in an NFL city and we'd be back to square 1.

If we were to actually hire the guy, I would hope we pay him waaaaaaay more than Saban because that is what it will take to keep him here. He AND his assistants.

And I reeeeeeally hope that Tressel rumor is just a rumor. Big 10<SEC.

We can negotiate a contract to lock him up, all of the contracts that have been rumored are all 6+ year deals I think. Alot of buzz that he wants a long term contract. If he wants to bolt for the NFL, he can wait till the end of this season and take a job.

Gruden may very well end up at Tennessee. If he does I will support him and the team. All I am saying that there are better coach`s than Gruden.

Not trying to be a smart ass...but honestly who do you think is better than Gruden?

Why does espn PR think they have to address any rumors?

Josh Ward is a bit of a turd.

Not that we can get. Are there more with college experience yes but a lot of people think Gruden would convert well into the college game. He will be the most recognizable coach in college football.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

It's not a problem to recruit in the NFL because it doesn't exist.

That was my point.

Possibly, but nobody can take us back to relevance/prominence quicker. We've tried the "process" and it didn't turn out so great.

Bcarter Knows....... He simply knows, because it was proven a prank by Soph students at Webb

It was fake, my wife confirmed it.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

For those still worried about Arky:

Gruden is NOT going there.Period.

 

[Blackmarket803]

I never said that.

He has not been in the recruiting world in over 20 years.....so saying he would be a great recruiter is ridiculous. His shiny ring don`t mean he will have them lining up.

Keep talking buddy, we love hearing it.

 

[CookieVol]

I don`t think so.

Then get out...I don't understand why you people click on this and then complain what about what we talk about!!! Good grief!!!

I would rather have Petersen or Patterson. They both are proven college head coach`s. Gruden is not.

Yep, and the UT administration fully supported Dooley intil today.

If for some crazy reason he does... They better install a diving board on the new henley st bridge and charge admission. Btw, how are you smokey?

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Actually he said that Tennessee and ND were the only 2 college teams he would consider coaching at.

Source?

 

[vol4eva]

Keep talking buddy, we love hearing it.

Gruden would kill it in recruiting. I have no doubt about that.

 

[FearlessFreep]

I see the 'Blue Law' was repealed for today in celebration of the Dooley firing. Some folks are obviously taking full advantage.

They aren't proven at a big time level. I like both coaches and they are great for Tcu and boise but not sure for the sec.

Money changes people. They apparently have a **** load of it. And they won't Gruden as much as we do. I hope your right!

Screw Arky!

Gruden grooves elsewhere, he'll not be on The Hill.

This is not the time to try to pull a coach from another program. This is the time for a huge hire. We don't have time for coordinators to develop their "skills". We need to start winning immediately to keep the Piggy bank from going dry.

Proven in the MAC.
