Official Jon Gruden Thread XIII

[rekinhavoc]

I am not sure what I am more upset with, the Gruden let down or that I still find myself glued to this darn computer thinking something is going to change.

I don't drink alcohol, however after this let I think I may start. Any suggestions on what I should start with?:question:

Everclear and prune juice.

The link above is a conversation from this morning between Hart and Gruden's agent supposedly. If this proves true, every so called insider that's been saying "done deal", it's done", 100%, etc. should be banned immediately, and their ip address recorded so they can never post here again under their nic, or ip address, as well as have their ass beat.

you are about half a day late

Hargis may give us reason to rejoice in a few short minutes.

Fingers crossed.

If I had to guess, he is most likely going to repeat what he said 20 minutes ago on 105.1. Which was basically that he stands by his article, his source was someone who talked to Gruden about being an assistant, and if the deal fell through there is a good chance it was concerning money for assistants.

I probably posted this and not sure how many people know who Hanukkah Harry is anyway but whatever:

I may not have that high of a post count; however I have been here for every bit of Gruden watch. I tend to sit back and listen to those that have information to share. I have no sources, no information and therefore I tend to not get on here and say things to make myself look like an ass.

So I think that 666 is a great time to start drinking.

You took my post way too seriously. By all means , drink up.

 

[LotteryPick]

both solid position coaches under gruden IMO

I think it's about time to hop off that train ...

 

[WesternKyVol]

Unless he is just meeting process demands.

Have you heard anything about Gruden's contract(s)/ buyout(s), etc., Lex?

 

[hohenfelsvol]

I'm still in my bean bag chair, eating cheetos, watching the show.

Careful. That can lead to orange balls.

I had a vision of a man riding in on a white horse holding bags of cash saying "Here, dispense this to those who will assist you. Let this relieve the burden of cost. Go forth and conquer." I couldn't see the man's face, only the initials scratched into the saddle;JH.

But then again, I am on cold medicine so I might just be trippin'.

Shut up. It's not true. It even contradicts the people who have been saying Gruden aint comin.

 

[SmileyVol_c/o_10]

think about it.. the more coaching prospects that get taken off the table, the better the end result will be. We will be "forced buyers" of a big name. Our program, and the Knoxville economy cant go another 5 years like this. We have the money and the people who can get more...

For Gruden, what job are you being groomed for? Seriously. Do you know of any other offers he has? Dallas - no way he is working with Jones. Not gonna happen. He had that setup and TB and got HOSED. San Diego - maybe, but thats going to be a rebuild and moving family AGAIN. Some big names have failed there and honestly, big named players have wanted to steer clear of there (Manning, etc). They are a mediocre program, always will be. Philly - gimme a break?! You think Cindy Gruden wants to live on the Mainline? Ugggggh. No way. Sorry. And you think Gruden wants that QB situation. Yeah right. Disaster.

Tennessee could be a 10 year, rest of his career move. He would be a superstar and know that a big enough bet and Tennessee would be with him thru thick or thin because he can coach, sell his experience/NFL ties, and even if he has a down year... you have to hang with him because of the budget. ***And*** the deal has to assure him the longevity and profitability he wants in case it doesnt go as planned. His brand will be hurt some. He might not get the next shot in the NFL if for some (outrageously small) reason it doesnt go well. He has to make sure you lock him up, but he has the wiggle room to move on if he wants to after 3 or 4 yrs.
Honestly, if he gets our program back to the status it was... whats the harm that he moves on?
Who else, even if they stay a short time, could possibly turn us around that fast? He knows we are in a position to pay a premium. We need this turned.. and fast!!!

So everyone please put down the swords and pistols, and lets just let things play out. Maybe hes playing cards here, to see what we do. Going nuts, kicking and crying, isnt going to help our cause.

Where did Brick get a grenade?

It's already been said by several reporters that this report is bogus.

Well,,, When you give a 100% guarantee and your wrong.. What do you expect from people who believe you. A pat on the arse... :mf_surrender::mf_surrender::mf_surrender::mf_surrender::mf_surrender:

You are from Watertown and talking surrender? Brownie Robinson would be ashamed.

Was this a part of the Gruden ownership story? Something thrown out there by Lamonte for some devious purpose? Or get Gruden in ownership to save/protect Lamonte's clients?

 

[82_VOL_83]

You are free to have whatever opinion you wish to have. This whole deal is crazy. It looks like there's a full-scale war between boosters and the UT leadership. I really don't know what to think right now. If we hire someone other than Gruden, I'll be here like I said to take whatever.

You have been as honest and up front as you could be. You were one of the guys that was a steady head with Dooley and didn't call anyone names. I have no reason to castigate you over this. I found all of the OG's to be simply reporting what they had heard from people that have known in the past. I will be here to converse and argue with you but you won't have to "take" anything from me. Nor will any of the other OG's.
