OT: Tennessee thinks it has Gruden locked up

[ghost2]

I really really hope this happens.

Dude isn't leaving his cushy gig making bank and working 3 days a week, to deal with irrational fans and babysit 18 year old kids.

91-85 in his career? Why is regarded so high again?

He's the NFL version of Chip Kelly. He had a few good years at one place, now he is a god.

Here’s an article saying Butch Jones is calling recruits and telling them to not come to Tennessee.

Who would man the gruden party hotline?

I don't get it either. He won a Superbowl his first year in Tampa with Tony Dungey's team, but outside of that he's an 8-8 type of coach. Seriously. Take away the 2002 season where he was HC of a team he had absolutely no input in building or developing and he is a sub-.500 coach. Dude is stealing money at ESPN. No way in **** he goes back to coaching.

Im all for it. Will help keep college football ratings and excitement up.

I hate to admit it but the sport is slowing losing popularity. This only helps. I could care less about UT but this is a big sports splash if it were to happen.

Gruden has the cherriest gig in the broadcasting world. Guy makes like $7M to do color on one game a week.

Think that dude wants to be be lugging it around the backwoods of Tennessee trying to recruit kids who were like 7 years old the last time he was on the sidelines?
