He’s making nearly the same at ESPN if not CBS, FOX, or any of the others would meet his demands I’m sure. Hell I’d take a pay cut for a much easier gig than come coach at UT

Well I tried to not bring it here. Made a thread about it. I’m not negative on the hire itself really. I just don’t think it’s gonna happen. I made a thread about it they merged it so F em

There’s no reason someone can’t ask for reasoning why it would be a GREAT 8.5 mil a year GREAT hire. When I hear a legit answer I’ll be pleased.

That’s kind of what I think is happening. I think the only reason we’re hearing about all of this is because Haslam is involved. Just not involved in bringing him to UT rather him go the Browns. He doesn’t want a college gig hell why would you? When you can coach any NFL team you want.

I think it's because the college game is hot right now. The NFL is #1 hemorrhaging money. Losing sponsors. Fan interest is at an all time low.

#2 The whole environment around the NFL is toxic. The protest mess, I don't think he wants to get involved in. The owners are fractured on every issue it seems as well. And Goodell is probably on his way out soon.

#3 The best coaches not named Belichik or Reid are in college right now, with more rumored to be heading back to college soon. Chip Kelley, John Harbaugh possibly. Pete Carroll has talked openly about how he would love to coach college again. You currently have Saban, Myer, the other Harbaugh, Smart, Peterson, Patterson... You can go on and on.

Point being, College is hot right now. Ratings blowing away NFL. Yeah Grude has been out of the game for a while. Maybe he needs to get a refresher or a gauge to see where he is in today's game before going back to NFL. Sure I can see him wanting to stick around college for 3-5 years and perfecting his system before heading back to the NFL. All the while, grooming his successor at UT (whomever that may be). Who knows, maybe he has a job with the Browns waiting for him down the road

And honestly, I'd be okay with having him for just 4 or 5 years.

Neither were 1/100th the analyst Gruden is and neither made near as much money. Next

I replied to your first question. The second question assumes he would rather be be in the booth than on the field. He's already hinted that might not be the case.

For all the doubters. We heard from multiple reliable sources that Gruden was in Knoxville before heading to Green Bay. Why come to Knoxville for a few hours for no reason then fly to Green Bay? Just food for thought.

Well he had to stop and see Gandolf at the GPI, so a stop in for the game or being in E TN isnt too farfetched.

I don't think you understand this thread...this isn't a discussion on whether we think Gruden would take the job or not or whether he would be a good college coach, we already know those answers.

What chaps my ass are the perpetually regurgitated, nonsensical questions. The same ones that have been answered at a higher clip than Avogadro's number is further from 0 on a numerical timeline.

Did we ever figure out what an MOU is?

I appreciate the insight. Makes sense and a good post. Hadn’t really thought about the best coaches being in college. That’s probably pretty accurate

CarbonVol same here. Just get tired of people feeding people a bunch of boulderdash. Some people actually believe some of this nonsense. Spewing out some long drawn out regurgitation of lies . GRUDEN is not coming to Tennessee wake up people and put down the crack pipes.

Oh okay so you 100% know he’s coming?


You also 100% know he will be a good college coach that will return is the the elite program we are?

I’m willing to take that wager either way. We can do offshore betting if you’d like?

You don't want answers. You are just here to make yourself feel important by taking a upper decker in this thread, imho.
