Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

[Coastypop]

:ermm: WTH is going on with you two?

If Swanson's not talking why would I be answerig questions......

 

[SkittyD]

I'm going to jump for joy if Gruden is named and hopefully soon.I cannot believe people would even think that Chuckie couldn't recruit lmao.

 

[Coastypop]

Look guys you can't fix a nuetered dog

 

[tnvols72]

Some of ya''ll are delusional. Those 5 stars are gonna stay at FL and Bama because those teams have a chance to be playing late into January. We'll be lucky to play at all in the month of January for a long time to come.

Like the other guy said though.. if Gruden were to be named the hire, I would be very excited, and very supportive, but I just don't see it in the long term best interest of our program. I guess I'll hang up and listen for awhile.

who is this ^ troll ?

It's not that I doubt Boro, Lex, Gman, BCarter, et al...

...anyone who's been apart of ANY negotiation can tell you that there are always bumps in the road that must be overcome. I have little doubt that a deal will be agreed upon, but until an official announcement is made, I will remain cautiously optimistic.

According to some, there was on final hangup and here is the info.

It seems that Gruden is a lurker at VN. When Gruden read that a certain poster had a genuine hand carved cherry oak desk, he just had to have it. And this became the sticking point in the negotiations and almost derailed the whole deal. But the desk owner's blood just happened to be orange, and a compromise was struck. Gruden got the desk and the poster got to keep the 27 inch screen.

Believe it or not. But just wait until the "Jon Gruden, UT Football Coach" show is on and see what kind of desk he is sitting behind.

"Hi my name is Nick Saban. Here are my 3 national championship rings at Bama and I also have another one I don't show people. We have a dynasty and are good enough to beat a few NFL teams. Want to be apart of what we have going?"



Not such an easy choice! It isn't going to be easy

but not good enough to beat Texas A&M

 

[Fightmaker]

I have been doing toe touches since my last post. I WILL be one of the 25.

Sing it brothers & sisters!

Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King.
Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King.
Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we are going to see the King!!!

No more losing here, Gruden is coaching our team.
Repeat.

lol:
Well done.


btw...I know what you're referring to, but I completely missed that whole situation, any idea where I could find a *ahem* hand-carved cherry oak desk on VN?

 

[Blackmarket803]

Funny. Now that Dooley has been fired even more people are saying Gruden wont be the coach or have serious doubts.

It's kinda been the exact opposite bro.

 

[VolMaster14]

who is this ^ troll ?

Considering he's a troll and from outer space...

 

[ukvols]

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.

I hate listening to rival fans talk like our job sucks. That needs to end with this hire.

I just had an interesting thought.

You know how aTm fans are called the 12th man?

Maybe we could work out a marketing/merchandising idea of Gruden comes that we are his "25". Meaning the UT nation are all of Gruden's recruits?

Dunno, just a thought.

 

[JAllen18]

Whither Gruden? After a CBS report Sunday that ESPN's Jon Gruden is preparing to return to coaching, Gruden was unavailable for comment. But ESPN spokesman Bill Hofheimer had this response: "Jon remains committed to ESPN. With a third of our Monday Night Football schedule still left this season, he's focused on his analyst role and preparation for our games."

CBS reporter Jason La Canfora was pretty specific Sunday, saying Gruden is putting together "candidates to join him on his staff" and is focused on college coaching -- with Arkansas and Tennessee "prepared to get into a bidding war over him."

from USA today.

A certain poster who shall remind nameless to minimize the risk of him showing up might have one to sell you. Of course such rare artifacts are rather pricey. I will give you just his initials, BA. He may have a very large screen Mac to sell also, though he di seem rather fond of it.
Be sure you look both ways before you negotiate.

Amen!

 

[JAllen18]

to follow that of course Gruden will finish out the year in the broadcasting booth. He can recruit and continue his mnf schedule as planned.

You may need to go back about 2 Grudens.

 

[Dr H Lecter]

It's really, really close. Only the "Clemson" hurdle remains, and it doesn't appear to be to serious.

Hart subtly hinted at a 'bidding war' with Arkansas during the press conference.

As a matter of fact, he referenced the Gruden situation at least 4 times without even being asked.

Been very busy ALL day. Catch me up brother? Any developments I need to know about?
