VollyG, where's the Avi?

I have a question. If Gruden is really a jerk only interested in control,power and money, as he is being painted. Why did he politely turn down Arkansas instead of getting the Vols and Hogs into a bidding war? That's what would make sense. Who knows what they would have offered him. There are a lot of things that don't add up!!

Because he had at least some interest in coming here

 

[Mike4Vols]

Yup. I think you and I share similar ideas as to what's happening. I may be a tad more convinced it is definitely going to be Gruden but I think we're pretty close to being at the same spot for what all is going on with how this has played out

I have doubts now ... serious doubts ... but I hope you're right. I'm scared of our alternatives.

This is the 12th version of this thread. Nuff said.

Isn't this the 14th version?

Question: Why are you still posting if you believe the possibility of a Gruden hire was pure fiction?
I believe you've stated your position on the matter extensively.

I'm not off the train myself and this could be a reason as well as that final payment sticking it to Tampa.

"Yes"

and

Terrific question........

 

[Face]

even Gruden would lose to Florida and Orgeon next year....no coach can win without good talent and we don't have much talent unfortunately

Most likely. However, my post was referring to how Hart would be viewed, not the coach.

If whoever Hart hires loses those two games, Hart will be taking a lot o heat. Fair or not, that's jut how it will be IMO

There are some good coaches we can go after, just don't like having to take the step down from Gruden to those goes if Gude was ever really a possibility.

 

[BristolVol]

Find a quote where he politely turned down the Arkansas job???

You will find less of a response from gruden or his agent about their job their ours.

So is he still talking to Arkansas??

He has stated he was wrong for saying gruden wasn't a possibility. Some should follow his lead

The same Amount he is talking to us

FYI ... I'm keeping the avatar until we hire a coach. At the very least I want to hear the real story behind this search. Not sure we'll ever know for sure.

You should get AJ to make something cool for you. He does good work.

 

[CABVOL]

Unless I have missed it, Oldvol and 'Boro have both gone silent. Not calling them out at all. Makes me wonder what they have been told?

I like it. Keep it a while. If someone asks, you're just an original gangsta.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Hi Slice how are you tonight?

Not bad Ga is winning. And I hate Bama.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

If true and I'm not saying it is. Could it of been bc Lamonte was left outta the loop and when Gruden and a few big wigs met and agreed, Lamonte disagreed and thought he could get more outta UT? Then asked Gruden to let him handle it and do things the way they are suppose to be done.

Shouldn't that be a question mark at the end, or should it not...

 

[photovol]

They hired Kiffen and Dooley.

That's a pretty big hole to dig out of, I'd say.

Rule of holes, when your in one, quit digging

I still believe there is a chance as well. Slim.

I see your occur, and raise you a happen.

Haha. Big fingers and small iPhone.

What's up fella?

Why would that matter if you are a power/control/money freak. People like this have no loyalty, I have worked with many of these types.
