He will likely get a recruiting bump from name recognition and being able to flash a superbowl ring. I agree he won't be able to do much with it

Re: Sounds like Gruden might be replacing Botch at tennessee

I cannot believe a major college football program would hire a coach who has been out of coaching for 10 years!
I agree, they wouldn't. But UT certainly would.

:D

But if it's true, I suspect that in a few years we'll be hearing them talk about the "Jon Gruden Debacle" and hoping it will end soon.

As a lifelong Bucs fan I say...whatever.

I’ll always be thankful for him finishing what Dungy started, but he’s overrated.

I cannot believe a former major college football program would hire a coach who has been out of coaching for 10 years! That in and of itself is a losing proposition.

What is a MOU?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
A Memorandum of Understanding. It’s a non-binding document specifying the terms to which the parties are agreeing in principle before paying lawyers real money to draft the actual, binding agreement. Airlines, for example, routinely execute MOUs with airports when negotiating complex lease, financing, or facilities deals; but there’s no penalty, other than loss of credibility, for not honoring an MOU...

If he does take the 11RC job, I hope he can improve them to the point where we can beat them twice a year.

Wonder if he's part of another round of cuts at ESPN and he's jumping out before he's let go.

There has been some rumors that the NFL is getting too expensive and ESPN will be dropping MNF. I think this year is the contract year for it?:conf2: He may just be bailing for that.

Would keep his salary close to what he's used to.

Well, we hired Mike Dubious, with all of one year head coaching experience in high school so......
