Title: the third Gruden mania wave is building Post by: PirateVOL on November 27, 2012, 09:56:38 EST How many waves can/will there be? :dunno:
Title: Re: the third Gruden mania wave is building Post by: Creek Walker on November 27, 2012, 10:03:56 EST Just saw the rumor that Haslam is pitching in an ownership share of the Browns to get Gruden to Knoxville.
I expect the next rumor to be something along the lines of Bill Haslam signing a bill requiring every UT fan's first-born to be bequeathed to Gruden. Title: Re: the third Gruden mania wave is building Post by: VinnieVOL on November 27, 2012, 10:05:33 EST How many waves can/will there be? :dunno: I know, right? It's insane. The wave of anticipation builds then something or someone says something to calm the storm. But it doesn't die, it slowly builds again. Rinse and repeat. Hubbs said, and I agree, that it's becoming a PR nightmare to let this Gruden thing continue on without doing something to kill it (if Gruden is truly out). If you think VTTW is in a frenzy, the other boards (VN, especially) is at an absolute fever pitch.

When stuff like that gets out there, it is not just silly, but stupid. Haslam may be making a pitch to Gruden, but it is Jimmy making a pitch to coach the Browns, not Big Jim pitching UT.

Not so much. :eek:Hubbs said, and I agree, that it's becoming a PR nightmare to let this Gruden thing continue on without doing something to kill it (if Gruden is truly out).

Title: Re: the third Gruden mania wave is building Post by: Volznut on November 27, 2012, 10:17:11 EST well let's think about it. Gruden shot down the Arkansas rumors. he has said nothing about TN, even though he knows the rumor is there.
We haven't heard a peep from Dave Hart about anyone even interviewing yet. Sounds like someone is in the fold to me. Title: Re: the third Gruden mania wave is building Post by: TallVol on November 27, 2012, 10:17:31 EST I expect VN to crash either way with the final annoncement. You need every last ounce of sanity to survive more than 5 minutes in one main thread over there.

Sounds like someone is in the fold to me. I have wondered why we haven't heard about talks with anyone else but then I hear Hart keeps everything close to the vest.....

Are you suggesting Tressel?!?

Did you just condone Tressel's actions at Ohio state? :kiss2: Title: Re: the third Gruden mania wave is building Post by: VoLynteer on November 27, 2012, 10:29:10 EST Did you just condone Tressel's actions at Ohio state? :kiss2: Absolutely not...I have standards. :tongue:Title: Re: the third Gruden mania wave is building Post by: PirateVOL on November 27, 2012, 10:34:17 EST I have standards. :tongue: You do??? :confused: :inughout:Title: Re: the third Gruden mania wave is building Post by: BanditVol on November 27, 2012, 11:28:26 EST Just saw the rumor that Haslam is pitching in an ownership share of the Browns to get Gruden to Knoxville. That's been out there a week or two. Title: Re: the third Gruden mania wave is building Post by: 101stDad on November 28, 2012, 01:55:46 EST That's been out there a week or two. That would require approval by the other NFL owners, and I don't see them doing that. NFL ownership requires a significant financial investment, even for minority owners. Title: Re: the third Gruden mania wave is building Post by: 73Volgrad on November 28, 2012, 02:21:03 EST According to some surfers, waves run in threes and the tallest is the third in the set. So the wave mania will run in sets of three until the wind changes.
