Official Jon Gruden Thread XLIII

Hargis is still doing what he does 99% of the time: reporting on sports around Chatt. Just because he hasn’t had any more stories on Gruden doesn’t mean he has been locked in a bunker.
 
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.

No up-and-comers. They get here and become up-and-fizzle-outers.

Homerun...or pitchforks, torches, and mass sofa and mattress carnage.

He can see lane trolling the fan base every week

I looked at Kiffin's followers and the top one was volnation followed by Kmac, Maggitt, Coleman Thomas, Chase Purdy(NASCAR) and Brett Kendrick. A further scroll reveals many more vols players and vols related accounts. I'm not saying that is substantial, or leads me to believe he may be coming back, he may have been following them for a while. Plus, being a former coach, it may not be too much of a stretch to think that he still has interest in the vols.
 
If it's Schiano I bet that "y'all ready for this?" Jock jams song will play. When he comes out the fans should be able to throw tomatoes at him.

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.

I'm not sure I'm following the field repairs nugget. They wouldn't announce at Neyland, would they? Never have. Also, wouldn't they be working to get the field ready to be put to bed for the winter? Painting the field is definitely odd though.
 
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.
Concur and also Love and Laughing my a$$ off about your Bing McGoogle. Definitely tops my Ned McFartweed

Didn't look too busy to me. Grow lights would go out regardless. That's not to say they weren't getting other stuff ready. Just don't jump the gun yet.

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



Leach is on there too. I noticed he also follows Dead End BBQ. Back a few weeks ago, they posted a tweet saying that JG asked everyone to stop by for BBQ. Wonder if he was requested to do that?? Here is the tweet.....


*Edit* the tweet can't be posted. It's a picture of Gruden and the owner.

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.

Why are you in the Gruden thread?

We finally got that eight loss monkey off our backs with the assistance of this coaching staff so a bad hire and there's literally no reason to watch or care about Tennessee football next year.
