Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

[daj2576]

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.

please elaborate?

from USA today.

Is that where all the Arkansas stuff is coming from?

Either Gruden's agent planted that bug or La Canfora is totally trolling hogville, because he is in no way, shape, or form, going to Arkansas. Ever.

How so?

 

[Sheath Huler]

The Eagles today reminded me of the Dooley-coached Vols . . . that team, while loaded with enough talent to win AT LEAST 8 games, has completely quit on Reid.

The difference is Reid can obviously coach to some extent, Doolz can't.

 

[VolMaster14]

This.

"committed to ESPN . . ."

for the rest of the season

This is why he's been putting a staff together. Have them in place before he accepts and once he does, they're on the recruiting trail. It's all falling into place!

Just a purely speculative question, but does anyone think that the fanbase refuses to believe that Gruden is the guy because of how low this program has sunk. You stand back and look at things (big picture) we are a lot better off IMO than we were when we hired Dooley.

When is the last MNF game?

If I were Hart, I would say "Arkansas offered you how much? Well then you should take it."

Because whatever the number is, it won't ever result in Jon Gruden coaching at Arkansas.

Simple fact is simple.

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

I must have missed something here.... Not sure if that is a good thing or not...:unsure:

 

[volman dan]

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

And go on

Agree, he's not leaving is MNF gig for pork belly.

Alright would you all rather:
A.) Have Hart announce Jon Gruden next week following the Kentucky game
B.) Have Jon Gruden make the announcement himself on MNF in Nashville Dec 17

 

[VolMaster14]

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

Well nothing concrete but Boro did say he's certain and a lot of links posted from media outlets saying Tennessee could be where he lands. I have a feeling this week is gonna be crazy now that the job is publicly open. Fingers crossed brutha!! :crossfingers:

 

[Jax_Vol]

Cindy Gruden is not leaving Tampa to move to Pig Knuckle

I just wonder if there isn't some conflict of interest with him doing color commentary for MNF and being an official college head coach. Seems like you would really have to watch what you say all the time for violations. JMO, but I would think he would want to separate himself from the booth if named coach. Maybe I'm way off base

Clemson hurdle?

A, so I can finally stop reading these threads until 3am, then regret not choosing B because of how effing awesome that would be.

 

[UTodd01]

How so?

Hurdles to clear (have been cleared) with the reserve and Cheek to be able to afford our new coach.

You can find the other subtle things in the video yourself.

As cool as a MNF announcement would be, the sooner the better!!

Thank you sir...

Clemson hurdle?

Sounds like Morris of Morris and Morris had a hurdle to hop.

Only violation would be mentioning recruits by name.

For sure MNF in front of millions of people and recruits watching. Although that would probably never happen in my opinion
