Why does it matter that Gruden wants to coach in the SEC? I doubt Sankey would want that black eye. And how would it be worth it? The Raiders decided it wasn't worth it!

It's not Sankeys call.
He doesn't really have any say on what coach a school hires.
He make a."strong suggestion" but that might influence a school's choice, but he can't say yes or no.

The Raiders were pressured by outside noise and not because he was unsuccessful. He did a complete overhaul and it was starting to turn. He got screwed in my opinion.

Absolutely, if he was ever offered?

I don't know for sure that he was offered the job it but it sounds like he was:


"My wife cheered at Tennessee. I love Tennessee. I was a graduate coach there, and I did talk to the Athletic Director... And I was very interested in doing it. At that time I was having so much fun on Monday Night Football with Mike Tirico I couldn't take any other job".

I don't think he's a fit anywhere right now, to be honest. The game has passed him by, he's not a larger than life personality a la Deion and recruits weren't even born when when he coached his last game in Tampa. Let's not forget that Jon didn't exactly set the world on fire when he helmed the Raiders for the second time.

We see how poorly Belichick meshed at UNC and he has six rings (including several rather recent ones), does Jon's Barstool stint really render him deserving of a college gig?

He'd "fit" best at Florida given the access to resources (players), but they'd be nuts to cast a line on him.

This. Gruden’s firepower left him years ago. His prime time to lure recruits would’ve been 2010-2018 when he was all over espn and pre NIL. Hes been off of tv for so long that most of these kids don’t even care about him.

He’s too old to start a new CF career. He’s 62 or 63 years old and maybe 64 by next season. A lot of difference in college vs NFL. Carolina only hired Bilichek because they were irrelevant in the ACC football scene. Tried a splash hire that only made a ripple.
If Gruden had gotten serious earlier, he would’ve taken an OC job and let that translate into a HC job.

Agreed.
He is about 7-8 years too late to coach big time college football.
UT was a missed opportunity IMO. VOLS fans wanted him far more than any other fanbase ever could.
He's just making noise for his brand, as usual, since his last coaching gig.

Gruden would be as big of a disaster as Belichik.

Doubt it. While Gruden might not be successful, his enthusiasm would be a big asset in attracting players vs. Belichick's sour demeanor. Gruden with better players > Belichick with inferior players.

You mean the two guys who spent most of their coaching career in Cfb?

Gruden hasn’t coached Cfb since 1991. Much like Belichick who hadn’t coached cfb since the 80s. I don’t think he’s comparable whatsoever to Saban and Spurrier, in that regard.

Belichick never coached in college before he became UNC's coach.

Plus he came in with all of his arrogance about making UNC the 33rd NFL team and he had a whole new approach to something he had zero experience with. And then there's Jordon, trying to trademark a bunch of phrases and the canceled NetFlix show.

I don't see Gruden making any of those mistakes.

Could it be because no one besides Barstool will give him a platform?
