Official Jon Gruden Thread XV

[Jake]

There must be 700-800 people working in the AD


lol:

That's hilarious

 

[jdogvol]

Even if Gruden is not and never was a possibility, I refuse to believe that Strong is our best available option.

 

[FooVol]

Alabama=Dave Hart- Divide and Conquer. Plan is working masterfully

 

[Unknown Muppet]

Nothing to explain.

Another clueless moron.

We currently don't have a coach to call a "great hire"...

People were happy with Dooley too. Reality will happen.

LOL I agree and everyone one of them must be source for somebody or post themselves as their own source.

 

[Farmervol74]

Gruden was never coming here and all the ridiculous rumors about him will be the only reason that the excitement won't be as big as it should be for Strong.

You got a link or any proof to validate this DA statement ? Prove to the volnation he was never coming Or STFU ....just my thoughts from the farm...trolls are like coyotes ..good for nothing serve no purpose.....move along now junior jump over in the cooking thread

 

[sugarvol]

I really want Gruden, Denzel, and Matthew. In that order.

I'll take Gruden, Matthew, and Denzel. In that order.:dance2:

 

[jos3ywales]

I will be the first to say with this hire Fulmer or Blackburn for AD and SOON Orange blood

 

[Yay4Bray]

The media has no idea what they are talking about. How many times have they been wrong the past four to five days?

Also, remember about an hour before Dooley was hired they announced Troy Calhoun as the UTHC. Stay the course.

 

[GunnrVFL81]

We had a full on Powerpoint presentation and everything. You didn't get the Invite?

I believe it was on an Ipad. Like the Gundy Interview...

Forward
~Gruden 2013~ The Reign of Chucky..

_VFL. G.B.O._
SOON!!!

 

[Orange Blazer]

Please explain

Great recruiter, has SEC and head coaching experience. Defender guy, which is what we have been lacking, and he automatically gets the attention of big time recruits. The only people not excited are the ones who actually believed the Gruden mess.

 

[247VOL365]

The sad thing is Strong would have been a homerun hire in 2009 and we'd be pissing all over ourselves with little puppy dog excitement. Who knows? This Strong thing could be false, or at least not completely true. After all, Chris Low only said he's the front-runner for the job and we "want" him.

EDIT: Bad choice of words on my part. I should say that if Charlie Strong was in 2009 what he is today we would be pretty much unanimously on board with it.

 

[RWB427]

A true fan doesn't give up on his team. Ever. Imo

I would agree with that too, just saying if you stuck it out these last three or four years you are not a fair weather fan and you’re not going anywhere. Boro like the rest of us will be back next fall hoping our beloved Vols will be rocking Neyland and spanking everybody’s a$$ regardless of who the HC is. It's just a little hard to feel great about this hire if you don’t feel like it is the right person to accomplish the above mentioned. I hope Strong, if he is indeed the person hired, gets it done and brings UT back to the top of the SEC and the Country...I have my doubts but I also have my hopes. GBO

Truth.

Thank goodness. Alabama AD job is opening up. The riff raff will be gone sooooooooooooon!

 

[crparker21]

my buddy works in the AD. He is upset too

The athletic department knows nothing for fact yet, your buddy is speculating.

 

[Insunseri]

It's Roger Time!!!

lol:

we will see who crying in the morning! Ill be crying right there with ya!

 

[ThatGringo]

The pro-Strong people should grasp this: coming into a pro-Gruden thread and talking trash is childish and silly. Strong isn't a bad person and I don't think people are mad if HE is hired. Instead, it's just that it's yet another unproven up-and-comer that makes the program look like a mid-major. So we HAVE the money, resources and facility to grab a top-flight coach with serious pedigree... we just CHOOSE to continuously hire up-and-comers. Holy Mary, are we a damn half-way house?

Prove he was interested. You STFU.

 

[peelwonder]

Guys if we wanted Strong he would've been here by now....

 

[ATC_VOL]

Nope....just not going to support a program that is not committed to excellence any longer. That is why we have sheep like you. We've been blindly committed to mediocrity for a decade.

For the record, I believe we will make the correct choice.

I understand what you're saying. I can't help but show up though any chance I have. Even if it's just to boo the product on the field.

Hope you're still right about Gruden.

Whoa! I'm agreeing with Y4B. Things happen I guess.

 

[voldawgforever]

That's hilarious

No really! i'm serious!

I, myself, have 462 friends in the AD. And that guy has 1, so, thats 463, and I know you have some right Jake??

 

[OddBallVol]

I personally will be pissed if they ustage Fulmer's induction with the hiring of Strong...that seems like a mattress burning offense right there...
