WVUFootball29 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 That sounds like every head coach we've hired since Marv. If TBD was around when Levy was hired, half the posters here would want to lynch Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazed and Amuzed Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 All I did was post what I heard. I told you all to believe what you wanted. If you didnt want to read it then dont read it. I said myself I didnt believe it. Just stating something I heard from a friend. Don't worry about them mrags, this message board is for more then sounding like a bunch of whiney bitches. I for one welcome a break from the Trent/Jauron sucks/no he doesn't threads. I doubt there is anything to the rumor but I hope I'm wrong....

Realist Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Aside from the obvious stuff, here are some indicators that this is total crap: - Limo companies don't need to know who their picking up at all, they just need a name of a person/business to bill and a destination. - Gruden is an analyst, not a reporter, so there's no way he'd be here doing a "story". - I'm pretty sure that ESPN would have some issues letting Gruden out of his MNF contract 3 games into the season. - I'm pretty sure that if you're friend's friend had this information, then so did a few others. If you're buddy's talking, so are the others, and it'd only be a matter of time before a media outlet reported it. Until one does, this goes along with all the rest of the "sources deep within" crappola. Sorry mrags. Actually, I'm sure Gruden would have put something in his contract that he can get out of the ESPN gig if an NFL head coach position became available to him.

Paup 1995MVP Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 3 people removed from the source of the rumor, yet that didn't stop you from posting it. Nice work. Do you honestly believe that a coach of Gruden's caliber is going to sign on with a team 3 weeks into a season without being able to assemble his own staff or have the off season to plan? Gruden was raving about the Bills on Monday nite. He is all ego and would love nothing more than to be the savior for this win starved city. He knows how much we love the Bills. This team would change completely if he took over. Wow, I just get excited thinking about it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blzrul Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. This fully qualifies me to announce that: Jon Gruden is INDEED the new Bills head coach, to be announced just before the coin toss on Sunday. He will be joined by Tony Dungy, Bill Cowher and Mike Shanahan, all new assistant coaches. And Jesus Himself is going to be VP Personnel/Operations. We can't lose.

thewildrabbit Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ralph is in Detroit. good point... Why would Gruden come to Buffalo to start rumors when he could go to Detroit and talk to the man himself. Nobody in the Bills front office besides Wilson has the power to hire and fire the head coach. Gruden is a hit on MNF,better then anyone they have had in a long while. Why would he leave midway through the season and break a contract? I don't see Wilson paying Gruden what he would require to be the Bills head coach, I just don't see Wilson pulling the trigger until the bye week. SKOOBY?

Just Jack Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw John Gruden pass out at Duff's last night. I guess it's pretty serious. I heard it was Applebees, and Lynch was serving at the bar, cause Applebees lets him pour his own drinks. And no Im not SKOOBY.

crazyDingo Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 In favor of this rumor: 1. A limo driver was the key eyewitness that got OJ convicted of murdering Jessica Simpson in 1984. 2. Gruden worked for Al Davis, so Ralph would be a breeze. 3. MNF has been trying to rehire John Madden which has been published on ESPN.com: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?Madden Back In Booth?://http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/... Back In Booth?

RyanC883 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I was at the airport today. A Delorean pulled up, in it was Wayne Gretsky from 1985. Then a limo pulled up and out walked Rudy Giuliani and Jon Gruden. Rudy told me he was in town to make a four-pronged announcement: 1. He is the new mayor of Buffalo. 2. Jon Gruden is the new coach of the Bills 3. 1985 Wayne Gretsky is going to play for the 2009 Sabres. 4. George Seifert really was at the Buffalo airport once. BEST POST EVER!!!!!

judman Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 After a little time in big D, Gruden might set his sights on something bigger, like a $1.3b stadium. Lets face it, Wade and J. Jones are not great friends. Jerry has probably had Chucky in his crosshairs all week. Gruden might miss his flight to Buffalo, if there even was one.

Oh and dont forget to stir up old crap about how you thought Flutie was better than Johnson, JP was better than Trent, Collins was killed by the coaching staff and how you heard from somewhere that Kelly is secretly involved with Galisano, Jacobs, Rich, Buffett, Trump and working out specifics on how they are going to buy the team.

Guest dog14787 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Don't know if we are allowed to post links to other boards, but: link Are you sure that's the same SKOOBY, I messaged him and he ignored my message. I don't think he has any reason to be pissed off at me so its strange not to get a reply unless I stepped on his toes somewhere. I'm guessing he came back onto TSW with a different name and was booted or maybe the original SKOOB had a run in with one of the Mods and now he's pissed at everyone. Simon doesn't put up with any crap so they probably bumped heads. ( not that Lori does) Note: Talked to SKOOB and all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never posted this to spread rumors. I understand this is a rumor, and most likely a bulls&$t one at that. If you got back to my original post I even said I thought it was BS. I was stating this information in case someone else wanted to know or maybe someone else heard the same thing and could verify. In fact there were posters that contacted me personally that wanted to know more information and wanted to try and verify this as well. I am now done with this post. Im not going to come back to this post again. It didnt happen at least not that everyone here on TBD is aware of at this time, so I will shut my mouth admit that it was complete BS (like I thought in the first place) and go back to work. Thank you all for pointing out things that I was already aware of and admitted in my very first post. You are all genius's and should be proud of yourselves.
