Mike Sherman ever win a super bowl? Brett Favre was his QB and he couldn't win one. Is Mike Sherman a rock star celebrity like Gruden whose name alone would draw recruits like flies? Nope. Not even close to the same.

People keep throwing out the time spent recruiting which is BS in regards to Gruden. He would be a closer like Saban and Meyer are.

When is the last time a bama player missed a game because of a math test?

Your whole post is made up of straw man arguments.

Woah dude calm down. I was just saying that there is some precedent for successful NFL coaches not doing as well in CFB. It’s a conversation that can be had calmly.

As for the recruiting thing, people keep throwing it out because it’s true. I don’t doubt that Gruden would be good at it, but it’s something CFB coaches have to commit time to year round in order to stay competitive. A lot goes into it and it’s a year round job. They’ve gotta host camps in the spring and evaluate guys and there are a lot of ticky tacky rules concerning times they can and can’t reach out to kids.

The point isn’t that it’s something Gruden couldn’t do. The point is that recruiting is something a lot of NFL guys don’t care for that much.


I think you missed the point on the math test thing as well. Academic ineligibility isn’t super common (though we’ve lost a WR to it over the past year), but it’s always a possibility.

The point I was making is that the college game is different enough that success in one doesn’t necessarily guarantee success in the other. That’s not a straw man argument.

Boom


Just received a call from a hospital recruiter that could bring my talents to East Tennessee in a few months.

My plan is coming together nicely.

No it wasn’t to be on Gruden staff.

Depends on if your plane is equipped for WiFi. Gonna be paying for it if is does. I Flew Delta last weekend and it was 4.99 for 30 minutes. Flight was only an hour so I didn’t do it.

I'm not really concerned here.

1) Before you hire any coach you call the NCAA and ask them exactly what they have.

2) the NCAA has proven they are very inconsistent when punishing programs. If UNC didn't get busted MSU will be fine.
