Official Jon Gruden Thread XV

[MarkVols]

Tressel could use that as a recruiting tool. ("Son, free body art for up to 4 years if you become a VFL"!:whatever:

 

[Doodler]

Don't take it the wrong way.

I just have reason to believe that if our A) options don't come through, that Davis will be the fallback guy.

I am not saying he is on the short list.

I wouldn't worry about the probation thing with him though. He would not need to cheat at UT.

You may be right about that but if we were going to go after that type of coach as our 2nd option I would just rather have Patrino. He would win us some games that's for sure but you might wake up on a Sunday morning and he might be coaching somewhere else. The longer this thing plays out the better shot we have at getting Gruden. I know it is still a long shot. I will support whoever we get until they can prove they can't do the job. VOL 4 LIFE!

I made no such post to boro. The day is young my friend!

Those were two separate posts. One bashing Boro and the other bragging about you knowing exactly what's going on. The day is young. So "my friend", should we be looking for Strong to change his mind again after we supposedly counter offer?

Re: Is this Strong thing a smoke screen?

 

[BruinVol]

If Strong does not come here I will not bash you and tell you "I told you so" even though many Nega-Grudes have come in here and done the same. Not saying you have but many have.

It's all good. If strong says no I will be much more disappointed for our program than I will be worried about this board. Just the same as If he says yes I will be much celebrating for our future than anything here on VN

 

[Elvis68Vol]

Hubbs, Lowe.

And you said yesterday that your source said that Louisville will counter Tennessee and Tennessee would go at Strong one more time.

Maybe we can get the UT Boosters to help Louisville sweeten the counter offer.

 

[volbacker14]

Don't you find it odd that we don't really have any concrete facts on interviews for us? The only one is Gruden. Why the secrecy when Hart is supposed to be formally contacting coaches?

 

[CNCVol88]

hell I would say Tressel is a Homerun hire. Go for it if not Gruden...Still on the Grude Train though.

 

[rltw1974]

I know I will get flamed for this but...
If we didnt get Gruden ( which I am still 100% committed to) for the sake of argument, rather than make a hire we did not want or simply name an interim coach (aka lost year) why wouldnt we name Tressel. The true teeth of his show clause or for 5 weeks where his great staff hired would have to hold down the fort. After the five weeks its business as usual and we would have to walk the line. I realize the implications of being on probation and hiring a "show cause" penalty. But I believe Tressel is still quite respected. Yes he made some grievous errors, but the guy can coach and I feel knows to play it safe.

My flame retardant suit is on..... Bring it!
(and bring the Grude while your at it!)

While I agree Tressel can coach and I am not worried about the 5 game suspension its not like we were going 12-0 next year anyways (even if JG came on board as the coach). My problem is can he recruit the south and can he be competetive in this conference.

I am still on the Grude Express.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

That hurts my soul but I cannot disagree, IF we do not get Grudey!

But we are getting the Big LaGruski!!!

Solid.:rock:

 

[HausVol]

Class of 89 here.

At RCHS?

 

[gnm53108]

Yea, I'm sticking with day posting after that blood bath

Peeked my curiosity...I'll check it out tonight.

 

[VolMaster14]

Hang in there man... we all getting a little weary, but you are one of my faves ....:hi:

I'm here bro just need something exciting to happen to get me outta this funk. I'm just hoping there's no way Hart is as incompetent as Hammy was.

 

[volbacker14]

I heard Bear Bryant.

[AndyMizunogolfer]

Who has reported the Tressel possibility?..or interviewing are we speculating or did someone in media just mention this..asking do not know

Bill King reported we are going to talk to him or have talked to him. I have no problem with SweaterVest. He is a winner.

The random drive-by is easy to control...but man, when propaganda arises on the news, as if they have some sort of shield to hide behind, it's bloody in here!

Bruin Posts regarding Strong offer (or whatever you want to call it):

9:18 yesterday - It was a Fwiw post. A Louisville booster told me they had counter offer a 3.7mil 5yr offer on try and keep him. He is very well connected with a number of AD members there. Like I said fwiw;

9:11 yesterday - Numerous reports say strong will be hired tomorrow. Nothing concrete;

8:48 yesterday - Yep got call from Louisville around 430 saying its done unless they make huge counter offer.

Darn excited!!!!';

8:24 yesterday - 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??;

 

[gordonr24]

I will take Tressel. His penalty is to miss the first five games correct? 3 cupcakes and 2 national powers.

 

[f77f00]

Black smoke over Neyland, the search continues. White smoke over Neyland, we have our Gruden.

 

[IllinoisVoL92]

If Strong does not come here I will not bash you and tell you "I told you so" even though many Nega-Grudes have come in here and done the same.

Boom! This should be a thread for all to see

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

When you find yourself in danger,
When you're threatened by a stranger,
When it looks like you will take a lickin', puc, puc, puc
There is someone waiting,
Who will hurry up and rescue you,
Just call for Super ____________! Puc, puc, puc
