But either way I don't think Gruden has the "Saban" impact. I don't care what their crazy fans think. Saban is a generational coach. Gruden is not.

it has already circulated that another round of cuts is coming to ESPN and another round of firings.

If Gruden is wearing an orange tie and tells Sean McDonough he has "a purtty mouth" on Monday Night Football tonight, that is code to AD John Currie "I'm coming yonder....."

If he holds one finger up and starts licking it talking about eating a win then we know he's staying.

The only way this happens is if Gruden is worried about the cutbacks @ ESPN. And, that could be a distinct possibility for the sports social justice warriors.

Still don't get hiring a guy that has been out of coaching altogether over 10 yrs and out of college coaching almost 30 yrs. And no HC experience at all in college.

Being out of coaching for a whole worked for Vermeil and the Rams.

Can’t wait for Chucky to make his appearance tonight on MNF in those orange & white checkered overalls singing “Rocky Top” at the top of his lungs...

You.Have.Got.To.Be.Kidding. He hasn't coached a team in years -- or been a college coach for decades. I think this will be like Spurrier coaching @ USCeast...lots of smoke and mirrors, but not one championship...not one.

It's a win/win either way. If he doesn't it'll kill 'em, if he does they'll get all excited and act like they are back and then they'll get their heart ripped out.

I kinda hopes he takes the job!

Moon....he could say on television tomorrow, "I want to coach again".....and half the teams in the NFL would beat any offer UT could put on the table, and he would have NO recruiting, no 18-22's, simply have to coach professionals and utilize his skills.
He's not gonna coach the Vols.

10rc should be wanting a 100% homerun hire. Mullens unless they know he is Florida bound or maybe Jimbo or Petrino.

Maybe it's Jay Gruden, not Jon - got the ideal CV for taking over in Poxville, having coached at a lot of bush league venues, up to and including his current position where he's a losing NFL head coach. And where his S&C coach is Jon Gruden II, a/k/a Deuce Gruden - so maybe the next UcheaT hire could be a family affair a la the Kiffins after all...

He would make more money at any NFL city, have less headache and not have to pull 31 of his teeth to fit in.
