Give me your Top 3 canidates...

Kids in Tennessee do I'm sure. Some are probably named some version of his.
 
In 2015 Jon Gruden had this to say about the UT coaching job when it opened after the 2012 season:




I know that the quote isn't anything new for anyone here, we've all read and heard it, but I have to wonder if now is the right time.
I believe it's now or never to get Gruden.

My top three candidates?

1. Gruden

2. Jon Gruden

3. Jon David Gruden

Gruden also said this about coaching college...


“Too many rules, man. I mean I like to work. I don’t like to be working 15 hours a week with players. The recruiting, Facebook, texting, e-mails – all that stuff. Yeah, I’d probably have you in real deep, deep trouble if I was your college coach.”

Dont fool yourself...
 
Seriously though, do kids these days even know who Gruden is/was?

Do prospective college football players watch the draft? Then yes, they know who Gruden is. Plus I'm sure they're not ignorant of the fact that Jay Gruden is his brother...
 
My top 5 candidates:

1. Pat Narduzzi
2. Bronco Mendenhall
3. Kyle Shanahan
4. Mike Gundy
5. Cliff Kingsbury

Thoughts?

My thoughts are that I'm glad you aren't our AD, but I'm not an expert. I could see any of those guys winning here but none of them are in my top 3.
 
1.Al Paccino (character from any given sunday)
2. Denzel Washington (from Remember the Titans) or is assistant
3. Whoever the coach from the program was.

What about Boobie Miles' coach from Periman, Coach Gaines.

"Can you be perfect?"

GO MOJO
 
I've been saying its Chip Kelly then everyone else.

If this program is serious about winning they'll do everything in their power to get Chip Kelly here.

Chip Kelly makes us contenders day 1 he's on the job.

Your predictions are so right... like the way TN was going to BLOWOUT Georgia.

Chip Kelly is the bottom of my list. He's like a Charlie Strong.
 
Brent Venables
Scott Frost
Tee Martin

Maybe Chip Kelly. Not totally sold on him succeeding in Knoxville, but maybe.

Most of the other names people are saying are unrealistic pipe dreams. Gruden has been out of coaching for almost 10 years. He's never coming back.
Just curious. Do you think Fuente or Brohm are pipe dreams? Both are very good coaches. Both are great with the X's and O's and appear to be pretty good with the players too.

Both have favorable buyouts at their current school and a salary package lower than JOnes'.

Petrino would take the job in a heartbeat, but I don't want him.

He wins. You'd have to put a 24 hour chaperone on him... but he'd win.
 
I'll see your Brohm and raise you a Chip Kelly.

2009: 10-3, Rose Bowl, finished season #11
2010: 12-1, NC game, coach of the year, finished #3
2011: 12-2, Rose Bowl, finished #4
2012: 12-1, Fiesta Bowl, coach of the year, finished #2

Kelly is more of a sure thing on the field and at a big program. Brohm doesn't have the baggage. He's younger. He has more ties to UT's critical recruiting areas.

As long as it was a former volleyball player i think he would go for it
