According to Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com Gruden told HBO's Real Sports with Bryan Gumble that he will come back to coaching in the NFL if the right opportunity presents itself.
Last I checked the Vols are not in the NFL but please do yourself a favor and Google Jon Gruden coaching rumors and prove where he mentions UT.
I'm saying these rumors would not even be discussed if he was not married to an ex UT cheerleader and was a GA here for one year. Given the above comment that is why this Gruden thread has spiked.
I remember when Dick Bumpas and Lovie Smith were a coach here as well, Does that mean they are coming as well?
NFL coaches don't work less.For me i'm not a fan of Gruden, I think IF he came here it would be short lived and we would be left in a bigger mess than what we have been through the past 5 years. Let's say he came and found success, the NFL would come calling with more money and less hours to work in a year and he would be a fool not to take it.

Here is the video. I've posted it 3 or 4 times. lol
I do find it funny we were the only college he decided to do a commercial on.

But there is other stuff out there. He talks about it in the real sports interview and is open to the idea of coaching college or pro. In the video when he was in Knoxville he is asked about how his name has come up for jobs and he said he doesn't consider himself an NFL guy only. "A coach can coach , be it college or pro. I coached my kids high school team last year."
