Official Jon Gruden Thread XV

[VolFan32]

But Ron, really do appreciate you bringing the info from other sites.

Maybe they want their players to focus on Finals? Gotta keep that eligibility.

They could have postponed it just in case strong left. It is odd they added strong's pic back to the article.

 

[RLJ]

If Gruden ever is announced as coach I will go back to the Gruden XV thread and will post the names of the actual ones that stuck this out this past week!

I still believe until someone else shows up at the podium! To much information floating around the last few days when the previous two weeks were quite as a peep.

Things stay private in a negotiation unless one party wants to leak information for competitive advantages.

Hell, I just took my Romney/Ryan sticker off my car today still hoping something would have changed from a month ago.....

Out for the night...deer hunting in the morning

GRUDEN!!!

 

[eVOLve]

Oh my, oh my! Is there really a massive smokescreen going on!?

I was totally off the Gruden train till these reports of Strong possibly staying at UL.

Tune in tomorrow for the conclusion of the Gruden Saga!

 

[Coastypop]

Ron keep bringing the info. It looks like Hart created a cluster. We may be in the headlines for a while.

so true Steve so true

 

[Unknown Muppet]

We defended it pretty well though.:machgun:

'Preciate it! I held out for a while, but then I realized I was sitting at my desk an hour after quitting time checking things. Time to hit the gym and go home.

 

[Insunseri]

I'm offended by Christmas lights

 

[orangesoda]

That sounds like a good call.

It's starting to become a lean and mean group of us.

The few that understand the importance of this hire!!!! T

 

[crparker21]

This is from cliff notes:



Anybody surprised by this?

Anybody think this was supposed to happen?

Anybody think if we REALLY wanted one of these guys we would have made an offer they couldn't refuse to begin with???

Please tell me we are not going back in at 4 mill.

What happened to Fedora? If the latest rumors on Strong are correct, and Gundy says "no," I'm becoming worried we don't have a Plan B.

Would you take Plan G?

UT needs more than is in escrow. Why?
To hire Strong?
To hire the hat?
Gundy?

Or is The Gru still in play?

Can't wait to find out.

So this is my first post, but I've been lurking since Gruden VIII. I've gotta say, this thread has been the single most entertaining place to be for weeks now. Especially for any Vol fan. I also gotta say, the OG's have practically gave us the script of how this thing plays out. And I'm thinking they are the right ones to listen to. Too much lines up in favor of JG. Make it through tomorrow...if possible. Gruden 100%!!

did anybody see jimmy johnson crazy almost erry, speech on the football awards. he was very passionate about college football, saying u can never loose that feeling when your coach and u lose after playing a very good game. also said some other crap, could be coincidental, and i know its a football award show but it was almost like he was selling it to someboady.

if anybody else noticed this, please comment. does espn know something we dont?

ah I've enjoyed my Obama sticker every day.

Well I would like it to be tomorrow, but I don't have a set date, more like a week. I'm liking the week of the 17th tho.

Only problem to that in my mind, is that the only hold Up I can think of really that would require this disinfo campaign (if it is that), would be some ESPN contract snag. I don't think enough of Tampa Bay thing could possibly matter one thing or another... So if our little Alex Jones Vol theory is correct.....it seems like it'd have to be 23rd for it to be him.

 

[Jeffco]

I agree, but you left the lane open and I had to make the shot

I wish it were that simple. Look at it his way..... ESPN/Disney paid basically 125mil for MNF. All in, it's costing them nearly 200mil!!! Almost a quarter of a Billion dollars. I know we all love and cherish our beloved program here at TN, ...but this is business. CJG and ESPN both know that this is big boy business, not just fun and games. Gruden leaves MNF for TN at the drop of a hat, with 2weeks left, and there are going to be some people at both NFL offices, as well as ad people, and at ESpn who will either come after you in some way, maybe even legally if hey can depending on what they've paid you or how your contract is set up....or try their best to blackball you. Handled correctly, everybody should be ok, and everything should be fine. . . It'll be great! TN will get all the positive press they want!! Handled the wrong way....and our little tiff with ESPN a few years ago (Manning, etc etc) will look like a schoolgirl hair pulling contest. No coverage, no gameday, and ESPN is actually against you.

Be patient.

Hart is really setting us up to get pissed at him

Come join us again! We have candy.....

Orange candy.....

 

[Velo Vol]

I am not even sure we had a plan "A" at this point. I'm getting scared..

Grudemeister was/is(?) Plan A.

 

[govols10302bb]

what thread are you in????? Plan A still in effect.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Please tell me we are not going back in at 4 mill.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense does it?

A little unbelievable isn't it???

A little hard to understand isn't it?

 

[SHOWOFF]

I'm all in!!!

I have been here from the beginning and will be here till the end!!!

Gruden!!!

Soon!!!!!!!
