Official Jon Gruden Thread XV

[OddBallVol]

Morning Oddball, Ho, Vm14, MWA, Elvis and all you Grudes I might have missed

Best Da** site on the internet... no matter who is named the HC

Well said. and Hi Coasty.

 

[RagingOrange]

Almost at 600 pages on rthis thread. When does Gruden XVI start?

Not directed at you. Let's at least finish this thread before we start a new one...

I hope it isn't like the ugly sweater that you will have to return after Christmas.

Or worse... the ugly sweater you have to wear every year to show Aunt June you still have it......

 

[247VOL365]

It will be what it will be. I will either spend lots of money on UT or I wont. Simple.

That's certainly one way of looking at it.

Like a Christmas present from Gma... you don't know what it is going to be, but you know your not going to like it

I will say this has been the greatest coaching search in the history of coaching searches if we end up with Gruden. I'm pretty firm in my belief it will be Gruden but Hart is giving me some serious ulcers and gray hair.

Right there with you.

It is hard to stick to your convictions when everyone you know... your friends, your family, your co-workers... think you are batsh!t crazy.

You've planted your flag on the rock, but the waves are crashing around you, the wind is swirling, and it feels like the rock is turning to sand.

This is classic!! Either Hubbs is out of the loop completely on this one and he is dazed and confused, or he is in on the biggest smokescreen ever that we have witnessed involving a coaching hire.

Would love to believe Hart is an evil genius but am afraid he is the scare crow.

Do we even know if UT has officially offered anyone? I'm doubting we ever even offered Strong or Gundy. If we have not officially offered anyone, it points to Gruden

 

[CABVOL]

Need some "!"'s up in har...

 

[CoachClick]

Ainge is talking about bringing back Fulmer! YES, if no Gruden....I'm great with this!

IMO if Fulmer comes back, it will be to replace Hart not Dooley

 

[Elvis68Vol]

A man like that, I would follow through hell...

Well, at least we would know what we were in for after following Dooley the last few years

 

[Big Orange Jeff]

Gruden-tag!

You just won the Internet for today.

 

[Volbrando]

I think if we can't get Gruden... we go after Franklin at Vandy... honestly

 

[Lexvol]

I don't think we ever offered him the job did we?

I have no idea what we have discussed with Strong or Gundy. I would only be guessing.

Almost at 600 pages on rthis thread. When does Gruden XVI start?

We got a ways to go yet.... Usually around 12,000 posts does the trick...

 

[Coastypop]

Morning y'all. Is it safe to come out?

You been hiding?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Good Mornin Grudenam! Is it going to be a Grude day or have STRONG odor to it?

 

[CoachClick]

Two things about hubbs comments this morning .

1) He is covering his tracts where he said strong would certainly take the job. He clearly wishes he hasn't been so certain of that.

2) I don't believe Gundy was ever offered the job. All that is coming from Gundy. I think he is playing poker with OSU and he is holding a duece 7 off suite.

From Ainge (so grain of salt of course), but he said after speaking with a coach or coaches yesterday he was convinced that Gundy is out of the mix.


edit: And that Stoops had NEVER been contacted.

 

[phowell23]

Hart didn't know that he couldn't offer 2 coaches the same job at the same time lol.

 

[CABVOL]

Twas a bumpy ride yesterday afternoon for sure. Couldn't read fast enough to keep up.

 

[cd12]

I have no idea what we have discussed with Strong or Gundy. I would only be guessing.

He's alive!

 

[bcartervol98]

I have no idea what we have discussed with Strong or Gundy. I would only be guessing.

Hard to imagine Strong not being offered imo.

Probably will not have to wait long, something will break today with Strong or Gundy or I am afraid we are off to 2nd or 3rd tier coaching land again.

Mornin' magic talking helmet!

Sorry guys but I have had a Gruden so long that the skin on my eyes is pulled so tight I can't see anyone by Him....

Hubbs, Hyams, and those other jock sniffers only get whatever the UTAD gives them. Any "insight" they have is purely by coincidence.
