Official Jon Gruden Thread XII

[spudvol]

Her husband, maybe?

Living in Tampa is less convenient job-wise for Gruden. Knoxville is closer to ESPN HQ and more centrally located for travel to NFL stadiums.

Dr. Jerry Punch: "Sooner rather than later." Please tell me you guys have been paying attention. This really is one of the best rides ever!

 

[247VOL365]

So are we up or down this fine morning?

yes.

Also living in Tampa is probably way more convenient for Gruden's MNF career. I live in Knoxville, and McGhee Tyson only has a select few direct flights.

one of the reasons i'd never live there...I have to fly too much.

 

[jbeard82]

In skeeter I trust!

 

[bigslk]

What's funny is the time you write something in this thread 3 pages has went by..:loco:

 

[BigOrangeD]

Did I miss something? Are Jon and Cindy Gruden separated or divorced?

No. Someone just looking for reasons why John and Cindy would not have already moved to Knoxville if Cindy wanted to live there so bad.

Here comes Hart to save the day!

Or they need extra security to hold back the angry masses.

XIII is next.....hmmm Feeling lucky?

Skip this number please and just make it XIV.:good!:

 

[Burhead]

VolRumormill on twitter (no idea if legit): "Was just told that KPD and UTPD officials are meeting with AD members about security for coming press conference/coach."

Might need it if it's Golden.

 

[ASamWitch]

someone tell me what og is

Old Grump <EG> :whistling:

 

[ptcarter]

True

They don't fly commercial.. They send a plane for these guys.

 

[SLOVNT]

Alright Grudenites GET THIS DONE! I've been here since late Gruden 1 and need this put to bed. I'm leaving for a mission trip to Haiti Saturday morning and without communications for a week. I'm counting on you Grudenites. Let's go... Gruden 2012!

 

[Volgrad98]

I hope someone else is listening to Tony B. Talking about how horrible the old staff's effort was in regards to instate recruiting. It's disgraceful.

 

[Orange_Crush]

But we would more than likely get "you can't always get what you want" instead...but would like to see him try to imitate Jagger!

Does that mean we'll get what we need?

 

[ASamWitch]

OMG I used to work in King at the paper years ago. Small world.

Yep, we'er everywhere :hi:

 

[Achilles]

I really hope "if" there is a snag, that people's egos don't get in the way and Hart goes ahead and hires someone else over a disagreement when there is still a possibility of Gruden.

Don't hire anyone else until there is a 200% chance we caNOT get Gruden.

 

[MACGRUDER]

I just don't buy this "complete control is causing conflict" angle. Not for a second.

It's Jon Gruden, one of the few coaches to reach the pinnacle at the next level, a Super Bowl Champion. This isn't some guy on his way up looking to make a name for himself to hopefully plateau into big leagues. This guy's already done that. He's earned his brand, if you will.

By even sniffing him as a coach, anyone with common sense knows what it would take to land a fish that big. It won't be money that brings him here. He could have already jettisoned himself onto any of the desperate NFL teams over the last 4 years. If he comes here, it will be because he wants to install his legacy on the field. He can't do that with a ridiculous checks and balances system that a lot of no-name coaches are forced to work under. He knows, and we know, what he will be capable of the college level, and to make that truly work and be "all in", we have to play by the rules he sets.

This shouldn't be some shock to the AD, and I'm sure it isn't. Reports otherwise seem to be people either naive of how something like this would actually go down or complete smoke to work an angle to maximize publicity.

 

[Volfootball55]

Haha. Seems to be on par with the course then.

 

[EZE]

Here comes Hart to save the day!

This could go either way. They might be worried about rioting if it is not Gruden.

 

[ASamWitch]

The Mistress works in WS

 

[Doolittle 1720]

Might need it if it's Golden.

If golden, more fans in mob that average attendance next year.

Hopefully we will know something soon. Can't take this anymore.
