Jon Gruden stated on the Rich Eisen show that he misses coaching and if the right opportunity opened up he would most certainly be interested.
His middle son is enrolled here at UT.
I believe he wants to join an elite group of coaches with a NC and SB victory. JJ, Switzer, and Carroll. But would be the only one of the 4 to get a SB first then win the Natty. Name a championship coach to retire early and never return to coaching. There is only one ever and he is a legend. MADDEN. Gruden isn't a legend yet but UT is primed to be elite again and get a NC. He would certainly be near or at the top of that list. Do championship coaches look for the next challenge. I think so, and Gruden is ready too. Ready to lead the Vols back to its proud place at the top. He knows how passionate this fan base is and how we will be backing him 100k strong every game in Neyland. If he loves Rocky Top like he said he did in Seattle, as soon as he watches #ComeTogether he will want to lead us to the promised land once again. GRUDEN TO THE HILL GRUDES! VERY SOON!
