Official Jon Gruden Thread XVI

[BristolVol]

That is the 2012 Outback Bowl, which means it has already been played this past Jan. No issue

Even it is this year......How soon we forget...remember Meyer last year.



ESPN will not have Urban Meyer covering a game this weekend

by Jason Lieser
Former Florida coach Urban Meyer, who has been rumored to be headed to Ohio State, will not broadcast a game for ESPN this weekend.
Meyer usually works with Dave Pasch and Chris Spielman. Those two are doing Ohio State’s game against Michigan, which might have been a factor in ESPN keeping Meyer in Bristol.
Meyer has been working as a game analyst since resigning from UF last year. The only weekends he did not do a game were two weeks ago, when his father passed away, and the weekend of the LSU-Alabama game.
“We felt the studio in Bristol was the best place for him given the many storylines and top matchups going on in college football this weekend,” ESPN spokesperson Mike Humes said. “He can offer commentary about the season, contribute to GameDay from ESPN studios and also help preview and review the significant games on the schedule.”
Meyer was on the broadcast crew for the Nebraska-Michigan game last weekend

Didnt the OG's say that somoene would get so close to being hiring you would puke, then we would be happy when Hart saves the day and Gruden come in on a unicorn? (ok, so maybe I added that last part)

Nope, it's 2012: Gruden, Tirico to call Outback Bowl Telecast for ABC | Raymond James Stadium

Edit: I'm dumb. That link is for the last Outback Bowl.

That's last year. This is the 2013 Outback bowl. It is played on Jan 1st, not Jan 2nd.

 

[DynaVol]

Idk what to think now, all signs are pointing to Gruden with all of the denials. The thing that stumps me is the thing about him calling the outback bowl.

Guys putting that out are the last to know anything.

 

[volforlife98]

I hate to be that guy, but they're saying Strong isn't at the meeting and headed to Knoxville. This literally makes no sense.

 

[UTodd01]

Getting a tad nervous.

 

[scvol22]

Soooo whats news on Strong having a team meeting, any truth? PS maybe say he doest wanna be Grudens def coordinator and is staying put?

Gruden!!!

I'm already passed that point.

 

[DNBVOL]

They're saying Strong is a no show to the meeting. What in the world?

What if he called a meeting,didn't show up,and that was his way of telling them he was leaving. That would be straight gangster. I hope he is not though. Still all in for The GRU!

 

[eternal]

about to puke now

 

[Jonboy]

Strong isn't even at the meeting. He's on his way to Knoxville boys.

It takes FOREVER to refresh a page..so frustrating!:crazy:

 

[alaVOL]

If Hart truly counter offered Strong, I'd find it hard to believe that we're in Plan A and we're screwed because Plan B isn't what we wanted. Just seems to be going after Strong too hard to be fake. 85% down to 25% for me, but I'm hanging till the end.

 

[SandoVOL]

grudenite even with a strong hire, yea i am yea i am.

[Sheath Huler]

Awful.

 

[rltw1974]

If we pay Strong 4 million that is a huge gamble/mistake however you want to look at it.

 

[triad280]

They're saying Strong is a no show to the meeting. What in the world?

who are they?

cause there are 5 tweets saying he's staying and he's had a 45 minute meeting with players

 

[gatorhator4eva]

What. Are we having another 4 o clock meltdown?

 

[92volalum]

If so isnt that like kiff?

 

[Sheath Huler]

Im sorry if this is a stupid question but...
everyone is saying that he he cant be an active coach and commentate, but do we know this to be true. I have been trying to find a rule but cant.
I feel like I have seen commentary before but dont really remember
thanks

Exactly. Especially since he's such a "player's coach" and they love him so much.

I don't see this.
