Official Jon Gruden Thread XV

[FooVol]

Hmm, what's his record in the SEC?

Pretty sure it's 0-1 when he was Florida's interim coach and they didn't hire him when they hired Meyer

 

[patrick]

NFL tampering could come into play with that not to mention the media saying the ESPN contract keeps him from the NFL due to his access for MNF.

This.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Did Jerry Jones just say Jon Gruden was at the NNF HoF ceremony tonight?!

Him, Phil and Hart are riding back to Knoxville for the announcement. (I hope).

Some people cant handle rejection

Example: everyone in this thread.

 

[MrVol]

The point is that Dooley was FIRED in no small part because of that loss to Kentucky. Fired to hopefully make way for a better coach.

And Charlie Strong, who lost to UConn and Syracuse is Dooley's replacement? Is expected to turn the program around? A guy with ONE HC position on his resume?

Please.

Dooley should have been fired immediately after the Kentucky loss. But Dave Hart did not want to pay the buyout. We had another dismal year because of it.

It will take a hire like Gruden to turn the program around.

That's cool. You got back on the wagon, but you very publicly wavered. You threatened to become a ATM fan if Strong was hired. It was a fit of panic. That wouldn't have come from someone that was 100% confident in the outcome of this situation.

You may believe your source(s) 100%, but that's different from you knowing 100% what is going to happen. I saw that moment of panic in your post. I get it and am not trying to get you mad.

You're sticking to your guns, but you're not 100% sure there's any ammo in them.

Get over yourself, its a message board.

 

[Elvis68Vol]

You said that fans will pack Neyland to see Strong.

I disagree - the fan base will be just as divided as this message board. I simply referenced that the fan base has and will show its disdain for a coach by not attending; the name of the coach does not matter!

Season tickets are dirt cheap and it isn't just because the economy.

Strong had one good year at Louisville and you want put him up against the likes of Miles, Saban, Muschamp, Richt and Spurrier. Strong went 7 and 5 his first two years in the toilet bowl that is the Big East. The SEC is the toughest conference in America by a country mile!

It is not a learn on the job conference!

There is a reason Florida passed on Strong TWICE when he was at Florida

Get the right coach and we generate revenue. We don't need the money. Ticket sales, merchandise and BCS bowls. Saban is a great example, he turned it around.

I agree. By "never" I was using hyperbole to continue to express my disapproval of Strong.

 

[G8rh8r]

IF THIS DOESN'T GIVE IT WAY, i dont know what does. hmmm espn reporting charlie strong top candidate, lol. if this does not frutate by friday, gruden is in. thats brilliant, have your employer smoke up the room.

I believe the word you're looking for is fruition.

 

[Coastypop]

Gruuuuuuuuudeeeen......

Think of Mel Gibson crying Freeeeeeedom

Get that out of here. What a nega-Grude.

 

[BruinVol]

I posted earlier that Louisville was trying to decide if they wanted to or could match the offer. Any hint from the bluegrass state that indeed might happen??

 

[Vol-in-Bham]

Him, Phil and Hart are riding back to Knoxville for the announcement. (I hope).

At this point I might honestly weep. Too invested!

What is Hart opened the presser, then handed it off to Fulmer, who says so awesome things about UT, and then Gruden comes out... it would be for the ages.

 

[VOLARMY]

Pretty sure it's 0-1 when he was Florida's interim coach and they didn't hire him when they hired Meyer

I think he beat Kentucky ..........Wow

 

[Captainzach1]

There is a reason Florida passed on Strong TWICE when he was at Florida

I thought this same thing...first time they got Meyer...second time he was already at UL and I don't think he put his name out there.

 

[crparker21]

Example: everyone in this thread.

Honest question, why are you still in this thread?

More than I thought!

 

[patrick]

Show me any documentation that's the case. Please.

Do a google search!!!

Or actually read the posts in this thread.

I previously posted a link to the rules.

You should also google penalties for violations of anti-tampering rules.
