Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIII

[rocketskates]

Let’s just cancel the renovations

Anyone other than Gruden or Petersen and they may want to seriously consider it

 

[SWFLvol33]

John Currie follows Lane Kiffin on twitter. I'm sure it's nothing, just seems odd. I didn't look through all of his followers but Kiffin was the only coach I saw

He can see lane trolling the fan base every week

I still find it very odd that Hargis dropped off the face of the media earth.

 

[Grand Vol]

I am all gruden but if it came down between Mullen and Campbell I’d take a shot at Campbell. At least he has beaten highly ranked teams lol

If it came down to Mullen, Campbell or Bing McGoogle, my plan would be to offer Mike Norvell a reasonable salary of about $3-3.5 mil and make him earn his raises.

We aren't getting Mullen for less than $5 mil a year or probably more. IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY TO GET HIM OUT OF STARKVILLE!

Campbell has serious buyout money problems. Is not proven as a HC in big boy football, but could be a contender in time. But he is NOT at the level of "home run" at this point.

Norvell shows serious promise and will go to a P5 school this round. There isn't a significant buyout that I'm aware of from Memphis and he's developing talent at a high level. And appears to be a good recruiter since he swayed Ferguson from Texas, a known traditional power, to Tiger High. Norvell is the "safe" hire that doesn't come with a huge price tag involved.

Regardless, I'm still on the Gruden train and can only hope Currie can back up that grin.

Smelling something and it smells rotten like a 5 yr they do this all over again all time losing record against top AP 20 Jimmy Sexton special ..Lord I hope this is not true.. Defensive Back for Miss State

That was refuted last night...turned out to be a personal decision. I believe declaring for the NFL.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Hargis silence..

 

[VolNExile]

Let's don't forget:

 

[VolGee4]

Not good enough for UT.

Eh, wait until he gets hired a bigger school and see what you say then.

If it's not Gruden or Petersen, it's probably the next best hire.

Not good enough for UT.

Not even close.:rock:SOON! GRUDEN TO BIG ORANGE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I follow Katy Perry, I think that means we are engaged.

"And speaking of Twitter, a bunch of our current players decided to follow VFL Tee Martin on Twitter recently. Being that Martin was spoken of behind the scenes in our Grumors, this very well could be significant. I doubt the team has been told as loose lips sink ships and all, but I have this feeling even the team members can see the way the winds are blowing."

Look for the small hints.
JG is coming.

I searched Tee’s followers and until I gave up searching I only found Gaulden and Trey Smith

The thought of Mullen, Norvell, or Campbell in Orange makes me want to string myself up with piano wire.

What happened in here last night? I passed out

 

[knucklehead_vol]

I've asked this question many times and have yet to get an answer. Can an agent pay a member of the media to put the name of his client out? Example, pay them a set amount every time they are mentioned on the radio, twitter,FB

Yes.

 

[vols4ever23]

An inside look at Jon Gruden’s game plan – National Football Post

Looks just fine to me. I'll take that kinda offense anyday

That's very similar to what we see at Michigan. I think he changes that to an updated offense, but keeps the West coast principles.

 

[volzfanz]

Let's don't forget:

Can somebody that knows how to post GIFs put this grin up next to a Beavis grin. Or butthead whichever it is he looks like.

 

[Volbrando]

What happened in here last night? I passed out

Lucky you

 

[Nointerduction]

Do we find out today about our coach? What is beaver saying? GBO

 

[SickEmSmokey14]

So the facility crew getting things done asap, that was for real or nah?

It’s true according to one of the head groundskeepers (@UTKcainTURF) on Twitter.

Also looks like the rumor of the field being repainted was also true.

 

[BIGORANGEFISH]

What happened in here last night? I passed out

A fecal tempest.

 

[buffaloblue]

I want Gruden orbPetersen badly but I’m not out in a guy like Campbell either as the next big up and comer. I am 100 percent out on Schiano and Currie should just resign.

I still find it very odd that Hargis dropped off the face of the media earth.

Great point...

Assuming Malzahn stays put, Arky will come after Norvell hard with a real offer that gives him guaranteed time to rebuild and they can pay $4 million or more. Basically, I don't think Norvell is going to have to accept some sort of heavily-stringed deal just to get an SEC gig at a school where he can win. Too me, that puts him in the same camp as Campell. Plus, I don't think anything good has come out of Memphis since Elvis but I admit that is just personal bias.

 

[Hubbard]

Not good enough for UT.

I know you are a grudenite, however, if you take the stance that anyone but gruden is not good enough, you are doomed to being unhappy about who UT hires.

There is the fantasy of who is interested in the UT job and then there is reality.
