Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

[Lexvol]

I would suggest that on his star power alone, his first year recruiting would be relatively easy. IF (big IF) Gruden comes, it will be the biggest coaching hire in the NFL or NCAA and will get tons of media attention, which is good. Kids know him and respect him. His first year, coupled with our brand new facilities could be a game changer. Then the rubber hits the road. It then becomes an issue of showing real improvements on the field for him to be able to keep that up.

Kids want to go to Bama for the chance of championships and the exposure to go to the next level. Same thing for places like Oregon and others. If you think a kid goes wild to for the chance to play with a flashy team like Oregon with 1000 uniforms, imagine what they would do to coach for a TV personality who is considered one of the most respected football minds on the planet. Having a MNF announcer in their living room would be huge. Gruden could get them, inititally, then he just has to win. just my humble opinion.

Well stated. I agree with all of it. We live in a Jersey Shore world. Name recognition alone will eliminate some of our natural recruiting disadvantages for the first couple of years.

You guys think you're better than us. But according to the recruiting forum, the football forum is far more gifted than the grudges forum.

So we got that going for us...huh!

What do you mean "you guys"?

 

[Jax_Vol]

Where the hell you been? Thought you took the night off.

Oh, here and there.....too much alcohol last night.


Now that Dools is gone, hopefully I can cut back to a 12 pack per ball game.

It's gonna be a great week next week especially the days after Thanksgiving..Eat lots of turkey and drink lots of Gruden-Aide.

Hee hee hee.....I am walking the fence here

 

[Escape Goat]

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

I'm honored that you think enough of me that you did that tough math equation to attempt to clown on me. You're obviously not as stupid as I thought. I bet you even do your own taxes too. Such an intelligent guy you are.

Pretty astute post if you ask me (except for the big IF part). Pretty much sums it up.

I'm no insider but I have a friend that works in a Tampa area blood bank. According to her Jon Gruden came in a few weeks ago and caused quite a stir. They had never seen anyone who bled orange. TIFWIW

 

[Volingatorland]

I hear you. I am sitting here on 24 hr Field Officer of the Day duty and this is the only thing keeping me from poking my eyes out. Only 11 hrs to go, going to be a long night.

I feel you. Back when I was in the Corps, I would have killed for a computer with internet when I was on barracks duty.

[DaphneVol]

The closest you'll get to a summary is from the cliff notes. There's literally thousands of posts here.

Sorry.

Thx, I stay caught up that way already. From what I've read on here, it appears as if there are 6-8 folks with an idea of what is going on behind the scenes. I'm starting to get my hopes up...

Hey, I got my first star today goat! Didn't think I was going to make it. Drinks for the whole forum are on me!!!

 

[Escape Goat]

It's only that high because he replies 1 quote at a time.

Lol. (and because of posts like this)

"Creative sighting post of the thread" contender here folks.

 

[Fightmaker]

I believe...Im even thinking of trying out to be one of the 25....and Im 40.

 

[Escape Goat]

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.

:blush2: Jk. Your the man bro

 

[solo_hensley]

Lol. (and because of posts like this)

It's because of that hunting Bigfoot show

 

[Escape Goat]

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.

Get him Sam. Finish him!!!! Sweep the leg.

[Coastypop]

That would take more effort than most of these gnats can muster, to go back and get up to speed.

requires the skills of listening and reading... they do not have either

 

[SandoVOL]

can we go a couple days without people picking fights with goat? I imagine that reading this thread is worse than being forced to read the twilight saga in Portuguese...

 

['Boro-vol]

You still confident?

Certain.

Geebus, the Mayans were right. You and I have been in complete agreement recently.

No complaints...you know what they say about great minds?

:hi:

I finally found a blood donor.

 

[VolMaster14]

If you don't have a chub for goat then

 

[1world1love]

What in the hell is going on in here. Are there UT fans coming in here talking crap about Gruden going to Arkansas?

Holy mother of Saint Francis the third, has everybody lost their mind?
