Official Jon Gruden Thread XV

[smokeyhuntsgators]

The Strong rumors will come on heavy, it will seem like we're doomed, then it will fall apart, and the OGs will be spot on.

[Sheath Huler]

It's been proven wrong because they've had to come back the next day and report the exact opposite of what they were reporting a day before.

The message isn't getting through . . .

 

[Allvolinnashville]

Old guy that fishes alot. And he played a little football too, allegedly.

And loves Twinkies and brownies.. and his wife hands 20$ to their kids in the driveway and makes them get their own dinner...lol

 

[vol66]

I am on the Gruden Train until some one else is offically announced as coach. I will not be moved.

Me too...though, for the first time in this process I have a bad feeling.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

It's been proven wrong because they've had to come back the next day and report the exact opposite of what they were reporting a day before.

For the entire coaching search. It's all misdirection.

 

[brad37128]

imo..JG let us all down!! The boosters presented the money and the keys to the city. He got to the door and got cold feet!

 

[DynaVol]

I don't think the news that is coming is any kind of technicality.

My opinion will probably depress you.

Go for it. Just watched 3 years of Dooley ball, can't get much more depressed than that.

 

[ASamWitch]

Think I may fast forward to some Grey Goose...

Nicely done :clap:

 

[Catbone]

Poor OG's...

 

[SCowlsVOL]

If strong is indeed the bomb that is being talked about I'll be disappointed. That's just a normal hire in my oppinion.

 

[MWAVolfan]

Chris Low said nothing about UT.

 

[Wilson27]

Certainly. Arkansas is irrelevant to our success. Too big of a league to matter.

Hubbs hinting strong is done deal

Not good. If Arkansas can hire a more proven coach than us. It says Dave Hart needs to go.

 

[MilesMcEver]

Strong=Dooley 2.1

1.1
2.1 would mean a major upgrade.

 

[FooVol]

Hyams seems a little down...maybe it is Gruden. He did say Strong was gaining a lot of momentum. But, he would not make a guess at all.

If it is Strong, Alabama will be laughing at us like they are Auburn at their hire

 

[jos3ywales]

The Strong rumors will come on heavy, it will seem like we're doomed, then it will fall apart, and the OGs will be spot on.

I hope ur right

 

[tastycar]

And with the potential "bomb" being dropped soon... I wouldn't assume that Strong or any other 2nd teir candidates would be a "bomb"

Gruden baby!!!

I really think the media views this as a bomb...sad, but true

 

[vol.E]

hyams sayin Strong has a lot of momentum...sort of sudden, the way he said it.

I'm going to cry..I guess we moved the big money around to buy up all the empty seats that will be in Neyland after this crap-bag of a hire....


( I'm not calling Strong a crap- bag, he's a fine coach who is well suited for a mid-major job such as LVille...just not UT )

 

[keithvol1071]

Well, it didn't take the cock roaches long to come out after the train got rolling. They are so predictable.

 

[MACGRUDER]

I love how earlier today the Strong rumors were all but shot-down and dead, and now that Arkansas and Auburn have made their hires, since we're on the clock so to speak, they've resurfaced and amplified times ten. It's just the media trying to latch onto anything they can to push a story to get more listeners.

I highly, highly doubt we hear anything tonight, given PF's HoF induction, regardless of who it is.. It would be a dick move for the University to take away from his moment.

 

[SeanJean]

One guy posts a third hand story about hearing the word "bomb" on XM radio and this thread just runs with it.

 

[FooVol]

1.1
2.1 would mean a major upgrade.

Upgrade is not what Tennessee deserves. Championship caliber is

 

[voldawgforever]

Go for it. Just watched 3 years of Dooley ball, can't get much more depressed than that.

[BigVol90]

I totally agree. This will get really messy if its Strong.

 

[utmafia81]

If we do hire Strong, there will be no trip to the O/W game for me, but if Tarzan is hired, I will be making the 6 hour trip with the rest of the OG's to the O/W game. Hart get Gruden NOW!!!!

 

[CMcEver]

Hopefully Tennessee will come out and say something along the lines of, "We have suspended our coaching search until after bowls are played, as we have prospective coaches that would like to coach in their respective bowl prior to being approached about other opportunities"... then December 23rd, BOOM!
