Will you post their picks? Thanks.

So far Gruden, Charlie Strong, Jim Mora, Jimbo Fisher. Now they are taking calls and going to break. Im not sure who picked the first 3 but TF had Jimbo. They all said Gruden small chance and Jim Mora unlikely as a west coast guy. They all said Strong would be instant upgrade.
 
if i let this team get me all riled up over the NC State win, you can bet im gonna be all riled up over Gruden. call me delusional, idc. I havent believed in UT football since florida weekend. I need to believe again. GRUDEN 2012

Believe it homey, feck the doubters!!
 
A interesting observation IMO from the hart presser.

He was talking about the media and other people talking about names flying around. He said that over the next "week" you will come up with more names than the 120 current coaches that are out there. And will find more.

So my take. He said one week, like that is all it would take. No search firm being used. Doea that mean that he has his man in place already? I hope so.

Gruden! Gruden! Gruden!

6.5 mil buyout for an OC?????? Why did he sign this? Besides the 1.3 per. He had to know his name would come up.

If you had been coaching HS ball two years ago and gotten a really nice raise to become an OC at a big time school, and then after two years they offered to give you a raise of $1 million per year to make you the highest paid assistant in college football, I'd say you'd be pretty pumped. Plus if his offense is ranked in the top 5-10 the pay automatically escalates to keep him among the top two or three highest paid OC's in college football if salaries continue to skyrocket. So no real risk unless he really doesn't like the place, which I'm pretty sure is not an issue.
 
I find it hard to believe Jon Gruden would come here and then back out because we would not pay 6.5 million for an OC. Non issue IMO

Agree. I doubt a dealbreaker exists at this point. I believe everyone knows how much money there is and they will work together to make it happen.

6.5 is more than we are paying DD to go away. It's absurd. I agree I don't think Gruden will not back out but that buyout is ridiculous for an OC.
 
Glad we're on the same page

I have a good friend who backed him up for a couple years in the NFL...they are friends, but very little respect for him as a person.

He said to me, "I don't like the way he talks to his mamma!"

Dead serious.
 
Have you responded to a similar negagrude with this exact phrase before? If not I just had a serious case of deja vu.

I got tired of arguing with them. Also, it usually takes them between several minutes up to several hours to realize that I am making fun of them.

Good times.
 
Christmas is comming early in Tennessee, Just like a Beautiful Tennessee Walking Horse, John Gruden rides in and restores Pride and respectability to the great state of Tennessee. Hell Hath No Fury, and neither will the Vols....We'll be back By God!
Go Vols

He would be foolish to walk away from that deal.

Is it out of the question to think Chaney may be retained for a year so he can get who he wants at the right price?
 
"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

Troll, IMO.
