Official Jon Gruden Thread XIV

[Escape Goat]

Only thing I miss about Kiffin was his fine wife!

Wasn't impressed with his plastic wife. I miss his recruiting, and swag

 

[Sheath Huler]

Here's the full story as I know it:
First of all to understand what happened to Gruden, you gotta understand who Gruden the coach was. Now Gruden was born to a three-legged ***** of a mother. He was always ashamed of this, man. And then right after that he's adopted by this man, Bob LaMonte, he's a small time gun runner and a coach promoter. So he puts Gruden into training. They see Gruden's good. He is damn good. But then he had the fight of his life. They pit him against his brother nibbles. And Gruden said "no man that's my brother, I can't fight nibbles" but they made him fight anyway, and Gruden, he killed nibbles. Gruden said "that's it!" he called off all his fights, and he started doing crack, and he freaked out. Then in a rage, he collapsed, and his heart no longer beat. wow.

Sadly, even Jim Brewer could have won 8 games coaching Tennessee this season.

Im back to full Gruden

I'm just curious... I've heard speculation and some rumors that if Hart screws this up any further, he might not be the one to make the hire of the next HC. Is this a legit possibility and if so, who would that responsibility fall upon? The BOT?

I could go for Charles Davis or Phil Fulmer for AD. If those two turn it down, then Blackburn.

I was all in before, but I'm gonna have to see it to believe it now. But nonetheless, I'd love it!

GO VOLS!

Any particular reason?

Awww..bless his heart. Im Jk man pine aawy.

Another name that needs to make its way into the UT administration is Shuler, since he will no longer be in congress. But yeah, Fulmer for AD sounds great at this point.

I don't really care who the next head coach is as long as he is a winner. That being said Espn, Foxsports and NBC sports wouldn't report on the Gruden being a potential hire and cover it, if there isn't real talks going on. I believe there are still talks between both parties. This would be the most difficult hire to make happen in college football. Like other posters have stated every other SEC team is automatically against us on this hire. I'm just saying its alot of legation and formalities would have to be worked out. As they say its too much smoke on talks between Gruden and UT. In the end I still think we end up with Gruden, if it wasn't him we would have already made a hire. Its just my opinion.

agreed we would have had our HC before UK

I support Shuler for AD.

Big Al Haynesworth for coordinator of the VFL program.

 

[Dylecho]

Would LOVE CD, I think that guy really pays attention to what matters. I think Fulmer's time would have been when we let him go. Give him a Barry Alvarez, Lloyd Carr or Mike Belotti sort of situation so he could have gone out gracefully. I can't see it now, not unless we want a candidate list that begins and ends with Larry Fedora. JMO
Blackburn should have gotten it a while back, and would at the very least be interim if Hart got the boot.

 

[BJWeeks]

Any particular reason?

Just believing in what babyvol is saying!

 

[R Cannon]

OldVol, an OG, said in October that this would be the biggest deal, not in terms of just compensation but everything involved, that the NCAA has ever seen.

He also said to look for it to be done, then seem to fall through at the last minute. I believe that was Gruden III as well.

who solves this mystery

 

[TheVolGuy]

I'm sorry Goat...you were saying something about...something. I don't remember.

 

[Sheath Huler]

I can't believe how militant some of the Jimbo supporters have gotten. Yowza.

 

[msanford52]

I support Shuler for AD.

Big Al Haynesworth for coordinator of the VFL program.

good call on Heath totally had him off the radar

 

[Dylecho]

Shuler's taking the job of Government Affairs Lead at Duke Energy back in NC. Probably the only job that would pay him 10 times what the AD job would.
Also, I'm not sure I would want a guy who backs down from a fight like that, but it would be a high profile hire for sure.

Were they watching him coach all season? It's not like he's a stellar game manager. In fact I'd argue the opposite. Great recruiter who can't manage a game.

 

[bleedsorange4ever]

I just wish Hart would come out and say something one way or another. At least squash the rumors.

 

[Dylecho]

I'm sorry Goat...you were saying something about...something. I don't remember.

There's an old pic of her floating out there looking fine as ... you know.
But she's wearing a UF bikini. I immediately moved to Goat's position.

I've given up on explaining these (and other) facts to them.

So I assume Gruden announcing games has been impressive to you.

that is one reason I think it could still be on neither side has done it except for LaMonte
