Cracking me up on whether Gruden could recruit or not. Closer - not recruiter. He watches film until his eyes fall out daily. He tells the recruiting coordinator who he wants and the assigned coaches do the contacting. Occasional phone calls, texts, and campus visits until the close is ready. He's not going to need to cast a huge net like Butch does to boat his 25.
This is all about him. Does he want to coach? He turned down the Colts among several NFL last year per BR. Will know - soon.
I know Gruden optimism can be taboo in here, but the way he talked about helping kids at the end of the Eisen interview sounded to me like he wants to do more hands on stuff. Doesn't sound like he isn't interested in coaching young players. Could be hearing what I want to hear though.

Most are, but some would like to pay more for a version of Butch that gives slightly better press conferences after they lose to the same teams each year. (Aka Mullen)
At least with my Dooley suggestion, we would lose a couple more games each year, but we wouldnt have the embarrassment of paying a top 5 salary to be mid tier SEC east (aka irrelevant).
