Official Jon Gruden Thread XV

[tnvols72]

Had he said "I'm leaving," it would have been a lot worse. He's not going to keep his current school from getting a commit.

he will try to bring some of his current commits with him.just what tn needs more 2 and 3* studs

Of course, and it was a 2*DT, it's not the #1 recruit in the country..

 

[Elvis68Vol]

Who are the top talent coaches?

Mora-said no thanks
Pelini-wasn't contacted
Gundy- wanted more money
Sarkisian- stuck to the West Coast
Fisher-said no thanks

That's a realistic list of who we could get. Anyone needs to realize that whoever we hire will have to prove that UT can win again. Recruiting is a moral win for us, and should help ease the pain of Dooley's mediocrity.

Throw in Shaw, Patterson, and Peterson

BTW, Fisher would not be on my list anyway.

 

[Blackmarket803]

You need medication.

You are aware that he might have you on ignore right?




If you still wanna do ban bets then i ban bet you that I hit the lottery this week, if it doesn't happen, then i'll just register again under the name Blackmarket804.

 

[LotteryPick]

Classy, man. You're pathetic.

Why so angry?

I'm not even saying "I told you so." Just stating why Strong's a good hire.

 

[DNBVOL]

Anyways... back to Tarzan talk. Anyone got any good news about Tarzan and Red Wolf?

If you don't know the code, go here to learn: Charlie Strong Thread, thx bai

No but hopefully Red Wolf will put an end to this thing soon, and proclaim Tarzan king of the jungle after he consumes his sticky banana. The villagers are starting to turn on each other.

 

[LynxVol]

That is not a fact. That is an assertion made by you. It is not a fact until another coach is announced as HC. You are not adding to the conversation. In fact, you are detracting from the conversation by insulting your fellow Vol fans. Grow up

Charlie Strong:

I'll make sure to come by tomorrow or Thursday and make a concluding statement when it's disclosed that Strong spoke with the UT AD notifying them of his interest and acceptance as of today.

 

[gatorhator4eva]

PEOPLE WAKE up! This is another smokescreen, suddenly mass people join this thread. UT IS FOOLING THERE OWn PEOPLE. U dont have to believe me but thats your loss

 

[Face]

I feel like every time the Gruden story gains momentum, this thread becomes the walking dead. Every one what is normally here posting has to fight off all the nut jobs that come in freaking out. It's almost tiresome. Relax people.. :banghead2:

 

[tnvols72]

id rather have fulmer than strong and its not even close

 

[babyavi]

If the big boosters earmarked their money for Gruden only where does Hart even find 5 million to pay a coach?

Let's keep playing monopoly with Boosters money, I'll take park place.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Classy, man. You're pathetic.

Thanks, buddy

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

What's the deal with allthe Strong backers pouring in here and spewing hate? Until someone is hired, everyone has the right to back whomever he or she wishes to back. Some of us are still hoping for Gruden. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Orange Blazer]

Hint:

You're in his thread.

But I'm gonna have to ask you to go ahead and GTFO.

He was never coming here, and no he wouldn't be better than Saban.

 

[XIVolNinjaIX]

You think Bielema was a great hire? haha, that guy won in a weak division for years, cushioned by his environment away from the SEC. Now, he faces Alabama, LSU, A&M, Auburn, and Miss. State. What a terrible decision for him.Why make your life harder for 2 million dollars more a year?

How is this any different from Strong? Except, Strong has only had one decent year.

 

[Orange Blazer]

Dibs on Boardwalk.

 

[photovol]

Yeah.... this just won't get the average fan excited.

Some guys on here will be elated with the hire. But the average fan is not going to call up UT and buy tix because of this hire.

To get fans back in the seats after the last few seasons, a coach like Strong is going to have to win big.

and attend public speaking classes/english 101

 

[VOLumeUp]

Bo dont know ****.Boro does.....

Just proves our fan base is passionate about our program!!

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

Can't we all just get along?? Seriously, folks. We are about to recruit like UT hasn't seen in a long time, and sooner rather than later we will be competing for the East under Coach Strong. This is a very good hire. Some of the hate in this forum is just ridiculous. I guarantee you once we start winning again, you'll all forget about what's his face. Relax, get behind the coach, and prepare for a STRONG national signing day, because it's coming...

 

[cutnitclose]

You honestly believe Strong is worse than Dooley? honestly?

What does CDD have to do with us continuing to be bottom feeders if we hire Strong? Just asking..

Do you think Strong is better than Saban, Miles, Spurrier,
Franklin.... Should I continue down the list...

 

[Blackmarket803]

Classy, man. You're pathetic.

You proved him wrong, let him throw his temper tantrum. He'll wear himself out.

 

[vol494]

<-------Strong thread is that way.

Thanks.

Smokey
What the hell happened? I leave work and come back in 3 hours later and all hell has broke loss.

 

[bluetickhound16]

i bet they are.if these people think strong is going to lead tn back to the top then just set back and watch this program drown.

He'll do better than Dooley, but 7-8 wins won't cut it here. He'll be out in four years or less with another big fat buyout UT won't be able to afford due to declining revenues.... Don't hate me because I'm telling the truth...

When did we offer any of those coaches? Fooled the hell outta me.

 

[LynxVol]

The possibility of Gruden becoming our coach is/was significant.

You don't have to believe it. But don't be naive thinking you know everything there is to know. That's all I'm saying.

That "possibility," as slim of one that it was, died several days ago.

Moreover, I have never acted as if I am in the know about this situation. You're a mod, check my post history.
