Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

Gruden is coming..:yes:

Can't wait. Gruden 2012

 

[Blackmarket803]

Do you have much doubt he gets number 3 this year??

I don't

Gotta get passed UGA and Notre Dame right now. Did you have much doubt that Baylor would beat KState and Stanford would beat Oregon?.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

It never ceases to amaze me how supposed UT fans can always refer to us as 3rd tier. When Gruden comes we will not be 3rd tier. Any good coach likes a challenge and I will admit that is what we are now. But it is not like we are devoid of talent. What we do need is a good recruiting class this year, a great year in the weightroom and football 101 being taught to our players. Running, blocking, tackling. If he does leave in 3 or 4 years, we will be much better off for his having been here. Personally, I don't see him leaving. Let his wife get back home close to family and it is a wrap.

We are totally irrelevant right now. That is a HUGE obstacle for ANY prospective coach to overcome. What amazes me is how some of ya'll are acting like a Gruden hire will be the answer to all our prayers.. I'm not so confident.

People be crazy if they don't think players will recruit Gruden has much as he would them. He's not just an NFL coach, he does the Gruden QB camp and knows the college game more than people think. Players know he would get them to the next level.

David Cutcliffe coming back for another year at Duke.

Bama fan texting is SCARED. I can smell it. He said "y'all better beg Franklin to take that job because no one else will have it." Texted back Gruden. His reply was no way.

 

[RagingOrange]

Gruden will be named head coach of TN, when? Could be sooner than we think. No later than a week from tomorrow though.

God, I hope so.

Then we can switch from "he'll never come" to "he'll never win" arguements from the flies...

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Wrong Tennessee and notre dame.

Exactly..He conveniently left out UT for whatever reason..Gruden isn't going to ND b/c last time I heard, they don't need a new coach b/c they could be #1 when the new BCS standings are released tom. morning.

 

[AllVolinGA]

Yeah I can tell. 25,000 post in 3 years. Go outside and do something.

Hey you. EG is good people. Him we know. You we don't. If anyone leaves it will be you with your negative Nellie attitude. Unless you have an IQ of 12 and cant read, this post is the Jon Gruden thread. The hater thread is known as the football forum, or one of the others in the rumor and speculation site that is expousing names of loser coaches to come here. Go find one you like and have fun there.

All words were spelled correctly in your version of the story. Makes this story unlikely IMO.

 

[VOLumeS]

Well there goes my third choice. Sub Fulmer in for Cutcliff.

 

[BruinVol]

If a coach told me that he could beat NFL teams, it would come across as arrogant and just plain stupid, and that topic on ESPN has been met with laughter. There's alot Saban can pitch, but that's not one of those things.

Wasn't it spurrier that first said it?

I thought you were going to hang up and listen awhile. There are threads for hand-wringing and "woe is me" but this is not one of them.

If all you have is Arkansas bullshat rumors and a bad attitude, then get the falk out of this thread. We have a pretty fun/groovy thread going. Don't come in here being combative and ignorant.

I am pro Gruden. Just anti-ignorant.

Yes, he will be the answer to our prayers and it's your choice to not be so confident..No one is forcing you to do anything.

 

[Blackmarket803]

Yeah, but I highly doubt he was being serious. I'm pretty sure recruits can see that if they can't beat Texas A&M then they can't beat NFL teams, cmon man.

 

[DynaVol]

I'm away from my computer with photoshop. On the ipad tonight. Hit me up again this week in the evening and I'll be happy to.

Artstudio Lite in the app store. It's what I've used on my phone to do all my images in these threads.

 

[BruinVol]

The fact that we would even be in the same realm as Bama is already light years ahead of where we are and where we've been in recruiting over the last few years.

I said this ealier that grudens name get him in the living room but his recruiting skills would have to finish the job.

Well I had to clean it up. Good catch though.

Sado IMO. Wow, not sure any hire would make you happy, youre convinced TN will never amount to anything...and if thats the case, the VOL on your name is highly offensive...plenty of teams to go root for...go find one that doesnt leave you feeeling so blue...

Well go bury your head in the sand and keep telling yourself we will never be any good again. That is the same mentality that led da Mike Hamilton to hire Dooley in the first place. A good coach can come in next year and have us competing. A great coach can come in and have us competing in the east for the championship.

The guy has made a living talking the past few years. I'm sure he'll have no problem selling himself or the university.

 

[BruinVol]

Doesn't matter if he was serious or not. All Saban has to do is present a recruit with the quote and say look what our competitors think about us. No doubt that quote about his subject is being used.

Anyway enough of that subject

Stop quoting him. Maybe he'll finally hang up and "just" listen!
