Official Jon Gruden Thread XIV

[smokey90]

Agree you don't move 18 mil over 3 years to athletic fund to hire strong...cjg you do

This what Im thinking.

 

[StillStanding]

I'm cornfused, and the more I read this thread, the cornfuseder I get!

 

[Coastypop]

I am very sneaky.

LMAO.... come on man

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

She is hiding. She is the one who gave the order to hold the fat lady from singing. Someone posted FBI and BOOM she is in disguise.

:ninja:

 

[JAllen18]

Looking more and more like Strong. One certaintiy is that he will recruit well here.

Hart doesn't want to fight for Gruden and the boosters are not putting their money where their mouth is. It's Hart job on the line. Hope he know's what he's doing.

 

[Wilson27]

Thunder is broke!! He has no say so!!

If that is true maybe that is why he likes to talk!

 

[Neyland2nd2none]

Definitely not on any misdirection lol. Plenty of that here without me. At least Yay4Bray is finally getting sniffed out as a troll. The only thing he has done is spout off in true hit and run style seemingly factual statements without backing any of them up.

Not trying to be an ass, I was ALL IN like the rest of people here were. I just think the "Gruden Thread' would be the place to discuss all things Gruden, even the fact that him coming here was little more than talk amongst boosters, their friends, and on a couple occasions Gruden himself.

But then again the remaining believers will applaud any source that says it is still possible and condemn any source that says otherwise.

Since you're saying Yay4Bray is a troll does that mean you think Jay is also since Jay vouched for Y4B? Jay did vouch for him, right?

 

[OddBallVol]

Got it now Oddball.... how you doing?

I would like to send you a friend request so I can find you when all this shiz is over???

Just waiting ... you know the drill ... work, check forum, work, check forum, check forum, check forum, work ....

Send away my friend.

I understand that below Gruden there is no home-run hire, but the fact that two of the three top names are in a BCS bowl game this year isn't that bad is it? Maybe triples? I mean the fact that we're having to offer in the $4-5 million range means it sure will be a better hire than what we've had, right?

This is a real question, not me stating this as a fact.

Good point. I still favor Gru, but fisher, strong, and Gundy have all been in the bcs within the last 2 year while we could make bowls

 

[VolLee]

I agree with you, but I don't see getting a coach with much of a track record for less than 4 mil. Just for example (only), if we went for Franklin it would need to be probably mid 4 mil.

I think you're right. I have to add that this is insane. I understand that a good coach is worth it. These salaries really demonstrate the money that college football can make you; only about one fifth of athletic departments made a profit last year. However, some made bank. As in mucho banko.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

How soon would such curveball be thrown? If you can say? Are we talking within the next few hours, by the end of the day, mid-week?

Understandable if you can't.

Somewhat fluid, but no later than weekend before Christmas.

 

[99gator]

Since you are here (god knows why), what are your honest thoughts on Strong and why Foley didn't give him a shot?

dk.

foley may have liked muschamp better.

maybe, he didn't want to pull charlie after only one season at louisville

dk

i would have been happy with that hire and know it was rumored

 

[philly1972]

If that is true maybe that is why he likes to talk!

Yes!!

 

[Coastypop]

I do not believe anyone in this thread who does a driveby.... If you can't come into this thread, defend yourself and answer honest questions.... I do NOT want to hear it

 

[patrick]

Ergen 10billion/ Haslam 3TO4.billion.But whos counting.Ever wonder why PM went to Denver.

Who has given more money to UT?

I know that Haslam has his name on a building or 2 at UT.

Not sure about Ergen.

 

[voldawgforever]

Can't expand. Under strict instructions of what can/can't be said. Just be encouraged. That's all I can say.

Pull your secret mask off hero. We've already been down that road.

 

[1Ooltevol]

Feel like I am sitting in the Red Bull Space Jump capsule with just babyvol and Chucky at this point. Prepared to jump if anyone besides Chucky joins Hart on the stage in Knoxville!

GBO!

 

[Wilson27]

I have been hearing quotes like "we have a chance at getting a nice coach"...."we will get someone solid"...."whoever we get will be better than Dooley". Wow, we really are THAT program now.

 

[MWR]

 

[Ez_Vol]

Where would you all rank a Gundy or Strong hire in relationship to the other SEC Coaches? 1-14?

I would have to say around 7-9 range.

 

[Coastypop]

done!

Jay who? Please be more clear...

 

[VolLee]

Somewhat fluid, but no later than weekend before Christmas.

In the grand scheme of things, like life and glaciers melting, perhaps this could be considered soon.

On a message board...not so much.

Pretty much. It's sad.
