Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

[GoBigOrange86]

I'm really optimistic about this happening. In a few hours I will probably be quietly cursing my certainty that we're going to hire Kirby Smart, and then the cycle will begin anew.

 

[HausVol]

What about Nashville??

That MNF is in Nashville on Dec 17 I think

 

[VOLout8]

Ask yourself the following questions:

Would Oklahoma take Gruden over Stoops?

Would UCLA take Gruden over More JR?

Would Philly take Gruden over Reid?

Would 20 NFL teams take Gruden over their guy?

 

[voltnh]

Someone said there was a thread dedicated to the Gruden gifs...anyone care to post a link, my search skills appear to be inadequate.

 

[RagingOrange]

What about Nashville??

It was said by someone in one of these threads that a good announcement time would be while he was in Nashville, coinkydink, timing, etc. That he would be rubbing elbows with the guys who pushed for him to get this job etc.

It is.

 

[MBVolFan]

Gruden better than Saban? ???

Yes. And we shall witness epic battles between the two of them every year. This is going to be so much fun.
:rock:

OCI has brought good info imo, like him or not there is not much that can be refuted.

Not only that, the coaching list you guys were ready to burn him at the stake over is almost the same exact names being thrown around by the Redskins media and others.

I wouldn't be so fast to cast a stone imo. It would be easy to latch onto others information but I think OCI is legit from a booster information perspective.

Well said, no reason at this point to doubt OCI any more than the other insiders here.

 

[HausVol]

It is.

I'm with Carter I don't watch NFL, I drop in on MNF from time to time

 

[SagginVawls]

I love this thread I just hope gruden actually comes ..... Because if he doesn't I think we will all go into meltdown and fires will be lit all around the country!!!!! Oci I hope u are right !!!!!!!! :hi:GO VOLS & GET GRUDEN

Soon. Don't worry. :good!:

Yes but we also all seemed to assume that was the end of grudens MNF obligation. That isn't true and I can't believe we are just now figuring that out

Who cares about other teams. Just care about our team, and what's best for it. That would be Mr. Gruden.

 

[patrick]

I'll take a large one,please.

Coached and won big in a league Satan couldnt hang in.

 

[RagingOrange]

Same here, just looked at MNF sched is all.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

So Jay, WesternKY, Boro say that Gruden will be announced between SEC Championship week to Dec. 18? What kind of snags could send us to plan B which I would hope is Stoops if what folks are saying is true that he is interested.

 

[DynaVol]

We will murder Kentucky, they will be UTs stress ball this Saturday. I would NOT want to be them.

These guys will play for Chaney.

I'm thinking these guys play like world beaters just to make a statement that the problem really was Dooley.

 

[VOLout8]

I was pointing out how stupid the notion of another coach being a better hire was.

 

[golfballs]

Rucker verified that Gruden has contacted Rich Bisaccia about his interest in joining him at Tennessee if he ends up taking the job

SIAP

 

[RagingOrange]

Yes but we also all seemed to assume that was the end of grudens MNF obligation. That isn't true and I can't believe we are just now figuring that out

Thats what you meant. I see. I was simply saying that an announcement is plausible at that time, and others thought so as well...

I for one hope it comes tomorrow. Jus sayin.

Someone said there was a thread dedicated to the Gruden gifs...anyone care to post a link, my search skills appear to be inadequate.

I started one, but think it got deleted...maybe there was already one, but I didn't see it. Guess it wasn't as good an idea as threads like "Why not Fischer" or "saw Cowher at the airport"

 

[HausVol]

Same here, just looked at MNF sched is all.

If it had not been said on here about Nashville I would not have known it LOL.

Oh, my bad.

It seems as though the car is parked and all that is left to do is shut off the engine and close the garage door.

 

[RagingOrange]

Im thinking they dont want to be THAT team that went winless in SEC play, along with the Seniors last game, etc. etc...

Hope they pound the hell out of Kensucky. 100-0
