I don’t want him replacing Saban, but in their spot you could do worse.

He can make more money there than he will at ESPN. If he is a success, he is a folk hero there. If he fails, he still made a pile of money and can go back to TV. Even if he doesn’t get a TV job after UT fires him, he really doesn’t need a job and can spend time with the grandkids.

I will believe it when I see him wearing that orange you can't sit with.

That guy really hated Tennessee.

Or even that "inside a pumpkin" orange.

You never know with a pro coach. Bama got a fired Gene Stallings and won a National Championship. USC hired a fairly unsuccessful pro coach in Pete Carroll and had a great run. That is the HOPE in Vol land. Personally, I think Gruden would fall way short of those two standards.

Long Term, he’ll possibly make more as an analyst.
Just to play devil’s advocate, Gruden would likely lose national endorsements by coaching in Knoxville. Also, he gets 50,000 - 100,000 for speaking engagements. That well may dry up in Knoxville. And we don’t really know what UT can afford to pay. If the Gruden coached Vols continue to perform poorly it will hurt his credibility if he wants to get back into broadcasting.

I didn’t think about his commercials, I really didn’t know about them.
I guess he does make more at ESPN but I doubt he’ll need food stamps if he does move. There is also the possibility ESPN drops MNF and he is out of a job completely.

Re: Sounds like Gruden might be replacing Botch at tennessee
Has Gruden said anything, one way or the other, about his interest in the TN job right now? I know that Gruden joked earlier this year that college football might be a problem for him because of all the rules, saying that he would probably have his team in trouble with the NCAA. I know that they were talking when they hired Jones (Gruden said the timing wasn't right), but what about now? I haven't heard a word from his camp.

Gruden would be good for 10 R C, but 10 R C would not be good for Gruden. JMHO

I think it would be a lose-lose situation, which is why I am all for it!

Re: Sounds like Gruden might be replacing Botch at tennessee
Of course, a counter argument to my statement would be Jimmy Johnson......but he moved FROM college TO the pros (and only because his old college roommate was an owner, otherwise probably not), not backward.
And John Robinson was great at USC, did very well with the Rams, came back to USC and failed to really meet expectations though he did win a solitary Rose Bowl.
I don't disagree with your basic point. However, I would point out that Tennessee is NEITHER Alabama NOR USC. I think culture is part of the difference there as well.

Re: Sounds like Gruden might be replacing Botch at tennessee
Btw - even Clay Travis, who was pouring gasoline into the "Gruden to Tennessee" RV trip, has come out and said he doesn't think Gruden is coming to Knoxville. Two days ago he said he actually thinks that Dan Mullen will be the next coach of the Big Orange, which would mean yet ANOTHER SEC team is in the middle of a coach hire.
Funny circle?
Mullen to Tennessee
Malzahn to Arkansas
Petrino to Auburn
Miles to MSU
(I find the last one to be the most highly unlikely, but the other three are not nearly so far-fetched, especially if Auburn loses to both us and UGA.......on the flip side, I honestly think Malzahn should be given one more year with his QB coming back. The major issue there might possibly be the new AD).
If that scenario above occurred we would have:
Alabama with the former LSU coach
Auburn with the former Arky coach
Arky with the former Auburn coach
LSU with the former Ole Miss coach
UTe with the former MSU coach
MSU with the former LSU coach
USCe with the former UF coach
Fully half the SEC would have coaches who had previously coached....in the SEC.....

A bunch of guys with different hats but same results against Saban.
