Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

[EZE]

Basilio's blog is also interesting. If Gruden does fall through, I would be more than happy with Stoops.

Basilio misses it with Mora though and U of W. Sarkisian was USC's first or second choice to replace to succede Caroll but he turned them down because of the impending sanctions. Which opened the door for Kiffin.

If and when Kiffin gets canned, Sark could move to USC which would open U of W for Mora.

Ainge is back to having a raging Grude-on

wow.....ok.....enlightening:no:....but I guess I can listen and see what happens

 

[HausVol]

Who's the guy on with Ainge this morning? It's not JayBay. #touchedbyanaingey

The lawyer he has on ocassionally Adams I can't recall his first name.

k...sorry I asked.....dude

Huh? That wasn't directed at you. I answered your question about Ainge, though.

 

[RagingOrange]

What up fellow Grudenites? New week, New era. Thank God the flies arent out this early...

I am one of the few who believe that Stoops would be a safer hire than Gruden.

Good Morning Sir!

:hi:

Mornin dawg! How is ya?

I don't want safe, I want to swing for the fences. I'll take Gruden first, but Stoops would be a good backup.

my bad....still a little riled up this a.m......

 

[Jake]

Ainge was told to stuff it while we had no coaching vacancy

It makes all the sense in the world. I don't know that angle...so I was still unsure about how good he was "acting".

But I def trust what you're saying.

 

[vol494]

Haha, Ainge just said his people called him back and said... he changed the subject. He's full Gruden again. He's rogue!

 

[247VOL365]

wow.....ok.....enlightening:no:....but I guess I can listen and see what happens

The comment I made about "sorry I brought him up" was directed at the entire forum apologizing for bringing danomite's name back up

You've got Doc, Jay and Heather on your side. Particularly Heather... Puddles form around her at the mention of Bob Stoops.

He has to be barely a step above the average fan then, because this deal has been done for a while.

Skeeter has a great track record of factual posts going back several years. He is easily one of the most accurate posters of AD information on this site. Not sure why you are discrediting him.

Part of me agrees. But if Gruden fails (better than a 10% chance I would say) then our Athletics Department is in a world of hurt.

Skeeter is great when it comes to recruiting, but maybe not so privileged when it comes to coaching search.

It's ok. I can take it.

twss

That wasn't the reason given for his smokescreen last week.

Skeeter has great recruiting inside info... on this particular item, he's been way off on everything he's put out.

Safer? Yes.

Exactly what VN is screaming for? No.

Thow shalt obey the posters

Edit: thou for the morning grammar police

I agree he is spot on with recruiting and things in the AD, but with Hart being so tight lipped he could not have had his usual info with the coaching situation IMO.

Im all Gruden but yeah if he has forgotten how to coach. Then a contract as large as his would be crippling. It wuld be like Iowa and Kirk Ferentz who is owed so much money they can't afford to fire him.

Safe is boring.

Same here and Stoops wouldn't be a bad hire if Gruden says no but I think Stoops is a harder get than Gruden. Why would he leave Oklahoma for anyone? I'm sure Oklahoma could match anyone's offer.
