Official Jon Gruden Thread XIV

[67volbabygirl]

If it is not Gruden, the university should NEVER offer him the chance again. He has turned us down two or three times now? Last week I heard the Hammy thought he had him on board when we fired Fulmer. That would be the first time, them again in 09 and now. (It appears)

Those asking about Jay... Didn't Boro say Jay had something going on in his personal life he was taking care of, hence why he hasn't posted in awhile.

I thouhgt that was DTO?

Might be the only way Bobby gets a coaching job this year.

Quite possibly.

To hire Strong will cost UT approximately $9 million minimum: 2.5 million buyout - 3.5 mill for staff - 3 mill for Strong.

To hire Gundy will cost UT approximately $10 million minumum: 3.0 million buyout - 3.5 mill for staff - 4 mill for Gundy.

Note - $3.5 mill is the amount UT is currently paying for staff per USA today!

Note 2 - Gruden wanted approx $4.5 mill for staff or thereabouts.

Total amount to close deal with Gruden was reported to be $10 million!!!

Think about that Vol fans..... Think about!!! Let it sink in!!!

Tennessee doesn's want to pay Gruden and Co. $10 mill but would pay Gundy $10 mill or Strong $9 mill!!!

The fans need to rattle the cages!!!!

This hire not only impacts the Athletic Department and University, it impacts the Knoxville economy as well.

Dave Hart needs to make a HUGE hire.

Resturants and hotels have been losing a lot of money the last few years I would imagine.

* arkansas - sources tell us that the hogs have been turned down by james franklin, gary patterson, les miles, chris petersen and it's not looking good on mike gundy either. Patterson, petersen or gundy could reconsider, but as of now, it looks like art briles is next in line.

* auburnundercover reports auburn has interviewed gus malzahn and will interview kirby smart and chad morris. A decision is expected wednesday.

* tennessee met with mike gundy yesterday and it expected to talk with bo pelini and butch jones. Charlie strong and larry fedora remain in the mix.

* fsu coach jimbo fisher is expected to remain with the seminoles.

Hart is an idiot. Haven't we already established this?

 

[CoachClick]

Waiting for a Stephen Hargis follow up.

Can't believe he is done with this.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Arkansas sounds like we did when hiring Dooley, with all these public denials.

 

[rltw1974]

All this speculation is getting crazy...this is better than a movie....I love it!!!

All Grude - All Day

Poor Arkansas.

Have they interviewed Nolan Richardson yet?

 

[SobeVol]

IF WE LAND THE BIG FISH...
I hope the members will be man enough to eat crow and show Hart the gratitude!
(otherwise we hunt him down....)

Arkansas is stupid.

 

[crparker21]

It is all the price to pay, in quest for successful SEC football...

Yeah I just don't agree Strong is that guy...

Poor Arkansas.

Bo Pelini should feel right at home with our defense after Wisconsin hung 70 points on Nebraska the other day

 

[Face]

I like his informaton... especially because he is saying what i want to hear.....but if I believe something, but am not willing to defend what I believe....then I have to come to the honest conclusion that I do not beliecve afterall

I hope he is correct....I do not know, it is a rumor board...so it is added to my thoughts

Could he be a troll and just messing with us...yes

Do I have any evidence either way...yes, I have as much as he is giving me.

If you want me to believe you on your word...then you need to give me something to believe.

On this board I have seen dates announced, times for press conferences, done deals and No deals...

Frankly.... I will know we have a coach and be encouraged about it when we do..

I know no one on this thread personally, so I have to take everything fwiw. Smokeyshowl seems fairly legit. Not saying he is for sure. But at this point, I'm just hoping for gruden and will reasonably believe anything that seems legitimate.

Could that be my downfall? Yeah. But it's more fun than going to the Charlie strong thread, that's for sure.

 

[patrick]

Come on Patrick... you want the dirt just like everyone on this board...ha ha ha

JK

I just want Gruden!

:loco:

I agree with this^^^^^

 

[ronniegarvin]

this equals 1,000,000 reasons to fire Dave Hart if Gruden not on podium

sincere ? If gruden is the one who said no, how is hart to blame? you can't "make" somebody say yes, all the "hart didn't offer enough money is just rumor's, or do you have a link showing that hart said no to the money? I'm just confused.
