Official Jon Gruden Thread XIII

[Insunseri]

not gonna happen. Both pro and anti sides can post where they want. This isn't a Gruden cheerleading thread like some tried to make it

not a true vfl imo jmo tifwiw suv

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

From January:

"Bob LaMonte, the NFL superagent who represents Browns President Mike Holmgren, Browns GM Tom Heckert, Browns Executive Vice President Bryan Wiedmeier, Browns head coach Pat Shurmur, and Browns quarterbacks coach Mark Whipple."

Interesting tidbit - 2 ways to look at it IMO:

1. All these folks are out of a job or soon will be due to new owner who is in the "UT family", so to speak. So LaMonte could be downright ticked about that and have a bad taste in his mouth toward UT in general

2. LaMonte has so many clients so close to current Browns owner, if Boosters have been involved in any of the Gruden talk, no way (I mean no way), contact with Gruden's agent about UT job didn't happen months ago. Might not have been Hart - but there's no way talk of the UT job just occurred in the last week

Folks - clue in to the misinformation festival that's happening here. Not saying which way this is going to turn out - but a lot more nonsense being spewed in the public eye than common sense suggests is possible.

I tried to pass the info a long from what I got from a certain agent without blatant, but who told me Sunday that Jimbo Fisher was gonna be our guy. When asked how sure he was he said 95%.

But since I'm not an OG I don't guess anyone will believe me.

A lot of boys trapped in men's bodies in here. Stop gloating and calling names please.

 

[jp1]

Maybe this fantasy land thing was a leverage move from the agent for us to meet Grudens demands or move on so the client can pursue othe opportunities.

 

[utvolpj]

That would be all fine and good if they weren't spewing personal attacks left and right.

then report them. Calling out people's info isn't a personal attack

 

[ORANGEADDICT]

I had so much hope. It was fun. Now there's piss in my Cheerios .

 

[reeceb73]

again? how is it hart's fault if gruden said no period?

It depends on which story you believe...if gruden just wasnt interested, no blame on hart. He swung for the fences but came up short.

If you believe he didnt come up with the money or the control gruden asked for, then hart deserves blame.

He needs to put a very good coach on the sidelines next year or he may have a short career here.

 

[G0V0LS33]

I cannot believe that this has not hit XIV yet

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Seriously? It doesn't make sense? It doesn't add up?

Local media says it's not happening.
National media says it's not happening.
Gruden's agent says it's not happening.
People citing Gruden sources say it's not happening.
People citing AD sources say it's not happening.
Fans think it might still happen.

What exactly doesn't add up or seems odd about that?

hargis with a 20 plus year of integrity saying it was on the table and had his editor back check his sources that's what was/is happening..folks that is an agent..he is paid to lie..gruden is over when new coach introduced that is not Gruden

 

[GoVolsToTheWalls]

Because if Gruden is out, Arkansas and Kentucky will have a better coach than us

So don't hire him because he talks funny and he has lost 2 games?

Don't hire him because of that and that is settling for a coach with very little head coaching experience. Don't we deserve better? Just saying.

 

[nc vol fan]

You gonna be an internet badass now? You calling me out? LOL.

Get in line.

I. Have been following since G 1 and don't post a lot, but I will stand by these guys anytime until someone is standing in front of the podium saying here is your new coach I will believe its Gruden and everybody that doesn't like it can kiss my a$$

 

[warrior]

The quote did not say the U of T was living in a fantasy world. It actually said that there had been no negotiations. It said that the speculation rumors were a fantasy because no conversations or negotiations had taken place.

Some of our fans needs to stop, read, and think.

And these people choose their words carefully.

 

[WinginFlorida]

again? how is it hart's fault if gruden said no period?

Gotta blame somebody, huh? Cannot be any other reason but someone's fault.

 

[Stevorino]

Ok, so I think what we need now are some guesses on what happens next from the OGs

Is this all just spin to buy more time?

 

[coffeevol]

Turn out the lights the party is over.

 

[bluetickhound16]

So.... No 3 oclock PC I take it....

 

[MWAVolfan]

A lot of boys trapped in men's bodies in here. Stop gloating and calling names please.

I would say it was mostly boys trapped in boys bodies.

Not sure there are very many grown men in this internet forum.

 

[Stevorino]

So this is ok to post?

we need a mod in here - the haters are just getting mean.

Let the believers play in peace, please.

So you still holding out hope for Gruden?

 

[slammingseth]

Hubbs says Hart is interviewing a candidate today, not Gruden.

 

[MAJOR_ORANGE]

As quickly as things have turned today they could turn just as quickly next week. I'm gonna wait it out.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I've got an idea.. Why don't you sh!t stirrers and "I told you so"s got start a thread and talk about how stupid we are for believing that there was even a remote possibility that UT could attract someone like Gruden. Please forgive the Grudenites for having hope that TN could be relevant again.

 

[Weee'rre Baaccckk]

Nah I'm just foolin you guys.

 

[MWAVolfan]

So.... No 3 oclock PC I take it....

Ummmm. yeah. Instead we got a paper bag of flaming dog sh!t.
