Since Gruden has a fat contract

[JACK8254]

Since Jon Gruden has a ten year guaranteed contract at 10 million per year, I dont think we can pry him loose from THE RAIDERS and their cheesy fake flame in Vegas. That leaves Bill O'Brien , lately of the Texans. He was recently fired for head-scratching trades ( J Clowney for a conditional 4th round draft) and a Hitleresque attitude in the way he ran the front office. Bad trades is a non-issue in college and his base salary was about 7 million ( chump change to a major college) . He did a great job at Penn State and won 3 of 4 divisional crowns in the AFC South. He is a winner and currently unemployed. Why not call him?

He traded DeAndre Hopkins for David Johnson. They are one of the worst teams in the NFL and don't have a 1st round pick. He is a moron. Certified.

You’re request is denied just for mentioning Gruden

 

[james_govols]

Honestly thought this was a @Water_Rat post.

Figured he was getting an early start on the Grumors again.

This is Tennessee.

Bill O'Brien was the coach at Penn St and bailed on them.

Sick of the name and face. No thanks.

Pruitt is not getting fired this year. We will not have a new coach for atleast two more seasons. It will NOT be Gruden EVER.

This. If Gruden was ever going to coach college football it would have been during the Dooley or Butch hiring events. He is not interested in coaching college football. I don’t understand people still bringing is name up all the time as if is a possibility.

I think it's done now as a joke, a very annoying joke.

But his wife was a UT cheerleader and he owns a farm on Douglas Lake. He loves us Vol Fans.

Hopkins is not that good and anyway, he was late for meetings.

Disagree. He is an elite WR and is crushing it with the Cardinals

O’Brien was a terrible NFL coach, but did an excellent job at Penn State cleaning up the JoePa mess.

I’m just wondering if there are any examples of coaches who were good in college...flamed out in the NFL...and then returned to college and had success....

I’ll hang up and listen.

Ok, I thought a few were still serious about it.

Lol. Reading Wikipedia about Jon Gruden now and they state he is the current HC of Tennessee Volunteers. I’m sure it will be corrected in a few minutes.

Jesus, I don’t know which is worse, trading DHop for DJ or Gruden’s retarded ass letting Khalil Mack walk.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Lol. DHop is top 3 in the NFL.

 

[sona]

So no Gruden leaves one other possibility?

There may be, that was just my guess.

But he cried while doing it (Gruden)

As in Spurrier, Saban and Carroll (sort of)?

This is Tennessee.

Actually this is volnation.
Tennessee was known for volunteering. Now we are known for butt chugging and paying huge amounts to ex coaches.

Still there for now. At least we’ve reached the point of acceptance that allows us to have fun with it.
