Who wants Mora considering he would be leaving UCLA in the same way dip**** left us? After one year?

Since you stated like that, Not me.

 

[1Ooltevol]

Wow, no one on Twitter seems to be showing Gruden any love for his work on MNF tonight - I mean no one. Maybe it is time for a move back into coaching.

Soon...

Me

 

[JCP201]

Out of those three, I want Mora, but I'm afraid he'll leave us, too. Atlanta area knows him and might be good for recruits. Also, he almost went to the superbowl with Vick.

If NO Gruden I want Fedora over Strong and even Gundy. Just something I like about the guy. For some reason I think he would be great in Knoxville.

As one of the other coaches in the ACC was quoted as saying - " He's the real deal".

Mora > Strong > Gundy

Mora > Gundy > Strong

I still think a prudently placed dead fish would be more powerful message/motivator then page in paper. >:-D

Liked.

I was thinking a chucky doll in lieu of a horse's head but dead fish is cool too.

I guess we will see tomorrow if Rucker has a clue.

I don't have to wait to know that answer

You're right, it would bring bad juju, like what is happening at USC.

 

[Sgt_Nick_Fury]

Am I only one in here watching game?

Brings back memories girl. I am embarrassed that I was so excited when we hired Kiffin. :blush2:

 

[truevol8]

Yes Deployed National Guard. I am from Chattanooga.

I know this thread is about getting Gruden to Knoxville but I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to XVol64 for your services and he is the reason we get to sit and contribute to this board. So from me to you.....THANK YOU!!!

I dont care about that as long as we give him a huge buyout so he cant leave us. Its business, i cant blame kiffin for doing what he did.

tennessee conducting one final interview tonight in nyc, jim mora of ucla. Tennessee previously interviewed charlie strong (in indy on fri.) and mike gundy (at his home on sunday). Sources tell us tennessee is expected make an announcement tomorrow out of that pool of 3.

-wes rucker

noooooo lets get this paper out til their announcement

 

[Insunseri]

Mora > Strong > Gundy

I think the order in which they interviewed them is telling...strong was top of the list followed by gundy then mora

 

[phowell23]

Mora > Strong > Gundy

Interesting enough via Wiki:

On December 10, 2011, the UCLA Bruins announced the hiring of Mora as head coach, replacing alumnus Rick Neuheisel. Mora signed a five-year contract for $12 million, plus incentives. He immediately went to work as the Head Coach by hiring Adrian Klemm, Steve Broussard, Demitrice Martin and Eric Yarber as assistant coaches. Each is known for nationally renowned recruiting prowess. The results came early, as UCLA landed a consensus #12 ranked recruiting class in 2012 after having a class ranked in the high 40s at Rick Neuheisel's departure.[13][14]

One of my favorites!!

As the last of November passed
With his new life, with his new wife
She said she was feeling a little cold

The screen door to the farmer's porch
To the back porch, to the backlands
It's never left closed

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

In all of the coaching searches I have never heard , here are our three we will pick one of them. We going to do any miny mighty moe to choose .

There were some early posts indicating that Hart would narrow the list to 3 and then consult the boosters. Save us Gruden!

Nice.

 

[Int'lVOLofMystery]

Was mostly a joke, hehe.

I highly doubt Hubbs/Hyams will report anything accurately until we have a coach already signed on the dotted line.

However, if the speculation of Gruden bringing in Morris was true, I wouldn't be surprised if they talked tonight

Gotcha.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Maybe but the usual suspects have turned us down before and I am not sure you want somebody here just because we paid more. Up routing your family with the motivation of only a paycheck may not be the best for the program.

Oh I agree but you have to agree no big time coach will come here unless you pay very well. It would have to be the right situation. I definitely don't want a hired mercenary type but that's kinda how I look at Saban. JMO

Can never go wrong with dead fish, very large catfish I'm thinking....

Rucker=no clue what's going on. Decision tomorrow? Seriously?
