Official Jon Gruden Thread XIV

[BigOrangeBob]

So 3 weeks all the way to 12/17 this would have to go without a coach?

Eventually.

 

[angrypug]

If we don't get Gruden or Stoops, Strong is the best bet we have.

I think strong might be close to a homerun. His recruiting rankings are not the best but its freakin Louisville. I think he would recruit like crazy here.

 

[ORNGFACTOR]

Not at all. Vols for ever. Just wondered if people here swayed your opinion in some way

nope, they are still my friends and I didn't ignore em.

I still think either Strong, Fedora, or Gundy.

 

[DynaVol]

It's been said that the booster's donated for the hiring of Jon Gruden, not just to hire some guy as coach, which would earmark that money and be grounds for it's return.

That leaves UTAD with 6 million for the next 3 yrs to pay buyouts and pay new HC and staff.

So, who are we going to get to coach for pennies?

I doubt this happens, only way we go that long is an interim coach, and its not happening with recruiting.

 

[govols10302bb]

I think you're right on the money BV. I believe several of the candidates on the 'list' fall into this category.

They should at least pay our gas money.

 

[DD4ME]

In all serious the SEC game should be done away with. There is nothing to gain and plenty to lose with the playoff starting next year

I'm interested to see how it plays out when we finally get to super conferences.

 

[Wilson27]

I have asked this a couple of times no response . What do you think about Peyton supporting Strong since Peyton does adds for PaPa Johns

It could be uncomfortable for him I'm sure! It is business at this point though.

 

[DD4ME]

I doubt this happens, only way we go that long is an interim coach, and its not happening with recruiting.

I'll root for us getting Gruden up to the point where people start suggesting we use Fulmer as an interim for a year. At that point y'all have lost me.

 

[Mike4Vols]

Just for the record, is anyone else appalled by the fact that schools like NIU get a BCS game and UGA gets snubbed to the Capital One bowl after losing to what we can only assume are the 2012 Nat'l Champs?

F'ed up system bro.

 

[R Cannon]

im not gonna say whats going on but i would say i got a pretty good dang idea on whats going on. this **** is big

I have a feeling we maybe even in for a bigger name than Gruden . Yeah or Neah?

 

[pattiycake]

Funny!!

Srs Clark?

He's ranked at the top of his conference in recruiting since he's been there. Imagine him with UT's money for recruiting and the best facilities in the country.

I'm still saying Gruden though.

 

[DjCrenshaw]

Reason for this rage?

Pissed............!



No real reason, just want to fit in with previous conversation of who is going to sit the closest to Grude when there time comes.

 

[BruinVol]

Good night folks.

Tomorrow we hear fisher/Gundy are staying put and the strong momemtum gains speed!
IMO.

 

[angrypug]

There's no if, he would lose here. He's had one good season and that's it. Look at him this year.

He seems in a situation that I would think we get most anyone before Gundy. Just don't see the guy leaving his current situation. Would have been like fulmer leaving ut.

For the record, so I can rub in the face of y'all NegaGrudes ....

SOON!

Welcome. I've been on many of the various VOL message boards over the years, but never signed up to post. Have been reading this one for a number years before I signed up.

IMO, this one is the best. It has an excellent variety of Threads to participate in or just lurk, learn and laugh. The mods are good, Freak runs a tight ship and is very helpful. There are alot of knowledgeable posters. You get the usual trolls and negative folks.

I would recommend for the newcomers, who are interested in Tennessee Football, history and writing, take the time to go back and read OneManGang's Weekly Maxim posts from this year's season. They are IMO a must read. If you don't know what Neyland's Maxims are ... easy enough to google.

soon.

Thank you I had a buddy try to get me to check this place out years ago but I never did. And yes I do know the maxims I was born a vol from a family of vols. Goin back generations in my family. I was the guy in high school writing my term paper on the University. Don't know if people do this but this is 3 generations of vols me, my dad, and my son

 

[Volingatorland]

Funny!!

Pretty much sums up the way I'm looking at it.

Different poster, but thanks for the suggestions. I've only come aboard recently, myself. Just like everyone else trying to find as much news as I could. I'll have to agree, the people on this forum (and especially this thread), are a fun group to be around, with plenty of laughs. Once I have time to peruse the other threads (it's hard enough to keep up with the few I've been watching), I'll go back and check those out, too.
