Official Jon Gruden Thread VIII

[Spartacavolus]

wonder how excited Adidas will be to get their hands on Gruden?

It's my hope that a new coach can get our brand back up and cut a deal with somebody else.

I still think adidas football cleats suck, and always will, I don't care how light they say they are or whatever.

 

[ob79]

Don't know why anyone was concerned in the first place. Sure Ark might be interested, it's just not a realistic option for the Grudens.

Because anything that could go wrong at the University of Tennessee, over the last 5 years, has gone wrong.

That's why.

I've seen Arkansas fans laughing about the fact that at least they drove the price up if he comes here.

Fine by me because I think he would be worth every penny.

I hate those pigs.

If anything more than a twitter handle of a defunct website owner then this is all it is. I believe Arkansas would make an offer, why not? UT Martin could make an offer.

Who in the media have said Arky has a chance, real media not twitter jockeys?

 

[EZE]

Trying to force our hand.

Who? Arkansas? That wouldn't make sense if we are far along in negotiations as most are saying on here. Our offer more than likely is on the table. So is Arkansas.

It would make more sense that this was leaked by Gruden's side than Arkansas, but the question is why? To get further concessions from Tennessee or another suitor?

 

[Spartacavolus]

I don't think Arkansas fans realize money isn't everything to a guy who already has enough.

we have to realize that as well

Is SBV alive?

I've asked about him twice in the past 5 days or so and never hear anything.

Feels like forever since I've seen him comment.

Im thinking laying low with all the activity in the bullpen...if he is as close as some speculate.

Some sources say that SBV has spent the past 2 weeks locked in intense negotiations with Jon Gruden's agent. And neither has blinked.

Believe it or not.

 

[EZE]

I've said all along, If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

OV, do you believe Gruden has signed a MOU or other document with UT?

 

[xXRockyTopXx]

I've said all along, If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

what up mayne

 

[RagingOrange]

Can we please incorporate some shiny fabric somewhere instead of a jersey that looks like an orange T-Shirt with walmart (no pun intended) letter applied.

 

[triad280]

PR stunt for the hog faithful to let them know they did everything in their power
to try and reel in JG...

as officer Barbrady would say"nothing to see here,all is well..."

 

[VolMaster14]

Joe Schad(spelling) just said as much as Tennessee and Arkansas would love to have Jon Gruden, he has said he is staying committed to ESPN. Names to watch for is Strong, Patterson and Mullen.

 

[MWR]

I've said all along, If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

In case you missed it, I asked you about your tailgate Saturday. And if you didn't miss it, twice is enough asking.

 

[knoxff]

Could Arky making this public be a way of trying to get us to show our hand... maybe desperation?

GBO!

 

[Oldvol75]

Does anyone think it odd that Arkansas radio has come out with this "offer" now and still has a coach in place? Yes I know its John L. but still!

 

[triad280]

Some sources say that SBV has spent the past 2 weeks locked in intense negotiations with Jon Gruden's agent. And neither has blinked.

Believe it or not.

is SBV the most interesting man in the world or is JG's agent?

 

[Oldvol75]

In case you missed it, I asked you about your tailgate Saturday. And if you didn't miss it, twice is enough asking.

I'll be there.

 

[Spartacavolus]

I've said all along, If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

I hear ya. Just haven't met many people that want to uproot their family from Tampa. Hard to not be happy down there.

That's what I was thinking.

I still think adidas football cleats suck, and always will, I don't care how light they say they are or whatever.

My issue with adidas is their fan apparrel sucks.

 

[Oldvol75]

OV, do you believe Gruden has signed a MOU or other document with UT?

That is the information that I got.

 

[Vollen For Life]

If Tennessee doesn't make a public offer this just confirms my 100% because that would confirm all the cloak and dagger stuff the insiders have said.. For this to be so secret for so long a public acknowledgment now just shows that their was never a deal in place.. Let AR think they are big swinging d**k when in reality they are no better then MS ST.. A perennial 3rd-4th place West finisher where as with the right coach Tennessee could be top 2 every year in East

 

[AirVol]

I think the Obama regime is covering this whole Gruden thing up like it did with Benghazi. Pretty dang snazzzy

 

[babyavi]

So now Joe Schad is being told to dispel rumors? I'd like to hear those dispelled from Gruden's mouth.

 

[pa136761]

Jesse Plamer on now saying UT is still an elite program and destination. Said facilities and stadium are elite with Neyland being the top venue, besides the swamp, in all of college football.
