Official Jon Gruden Thread XVI

I like his passion and energy. Let's see what kind of staff he puts together and recruits he can get.

Agreed

This is all great, but nothing I didnt expect to hear.

When the hell will Dave Hart get up there so we can ask how he *****ed this up?

 

[SagginVawls]

He sounds verrry confident in what he can do.

I love Rudy Kalis asking if it hurt his feelings that he wasn't the first choice. Such a difference in the Nashville and Knoxville media. Nashville don't play fool...

 

[VolFan32]

Grudes and Grudettes, I would just like to say it's been fun. This is the most fun I've had following UT football for the last 3 years and hopefully all plays out well. I hope the Gruden threads stay alive somehow.

 

[SportsVol]

Are there boosters present? I only see DiPietro and Cheek.

Have you ever seen anyone voluntarily stand in front of a firing squad? Won't be today either. ; )>

I am trying to be more positive. Really I am. I would imagine, he will bring his D cord. as they finished pretty strong in D rankings. This guy has a Georgia background as LB coach and Co-D cord. I think he coached 5-6 years at Georgia so he will have some good connections in the state as it relates to recruiting. We all know how much we depend on Georgia as it relates to recruiting. I still think we settled here, but I will support him and our team. As far as Hart and Cheek go, they can kiss my a$$.

$18 million will make the hurt go away.

I'm trying to picture Fulmer tweeting :blink:

He's been working on that tweet since the Charlie Strong news the other night. He just got it typed and sent now he has to start over.

 

[MWAVolfan]

He sounds verrry confident in what he can do.

The confidence comes from just being guaranteed millions upon millions of dollars.

We will see how confident he is after he plays UO, UF, UGA, and Bama.

Butch Jones: "Nick Saban and Les Miles had no SEC experience when they came into the league...They both had Michigan ties too."

Neither did Dooley

If your going to be negative at least be correct with your statements. Better check that DD resume

 

[Sheath Huler]

Who drove Heather to the press conference?

 

[phowell23]

This, he seems very confident in what he can do. I'm intrigued.

"I'm going to assemble the best staff in America and let them coach"...

The sad thing is, Nashville media is considered weak by many in comparison to big markets like Philly and New York. Knoxville media is not NXXXXXT Level.

1-800-sober ride

 

[Sheath Huler]

1-800-sober ride

I tee'd it up, you hit it out

Oh, Nashville media is terrible, but Knoxville media makes Nashville look like Woodward and Bernstein.

Well goodbye Gruden threads. It's been a lot of fun following these since the first one. I admit I was not pleased at all initially about the hire. I'm still unsure but definately ready to give the guy a chance. Will be anxious to see what kind of product he puts on the field next year.

 

[FooVol]

I will say this, you can tell the guy is a disciplinarian just by how he talked to his kids. And how his kids looked and acted. Guess I'm old school, but at least we have a guy that may not put up with bull crap.

 

[voldawgforever]

He loves him some Peterman.

I hope he wins every game but dang, I pitty anyone taking this job right now. Your getting thrown straight into the lions den with who your playing and recruiting against AND you have these stooges at UT AD dept.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

He speaks with a lot of confidence and hopefully this will translate into wins on the field.:thumbsup:

 

[FooVol]

Can we just change the name of the thread. Like...Official Cautiously Optimistic Thread?

Give me my 24 hours of negativity even if it includes incorrect statements. I'll get on board before the season starts, don't worry.
