Gruden and Chizik

[dawgrif]

If Gruden comes to UT then I hope I'm wrong about him.

Not all NFL coaches can coach college athletes. Bill Callahan made the mistake of going to Nebraska to try that. He made it to one Super Bowl.

That is the real question, not the other crap about him not being a good coach. I think he would do fine for the following reasons:

QB Guru - Can help our QB's grow and get them to NFL which will bring in better players
Recruit - He known commodity from the NFL and from ESPN. That will give us help with recruiting
Staff - He will bring in a top staff with College experience to fill the gap.

Finally, he is a Tennessee Vols guy with a Tennessee Vols Wife.

Guess it means Trent Dilfer is a GREAT QB

Dude, take your panties off and chill. So you don't like Gruden, its ok. Don't worry about people who do.

 

[Burhead]

Pete Carroll sucked in the NFL pre USC

Not really, he took New England to back to back playoff appearances.

I didn't realize that Tampa was the only coaching gig Gruden ever had....

 

[volmaverick]

Finally, he is a Tennessee Vols guy

Really what makes him a Tenn Guy?

 

[Spawn]

Really what makes him a Tenn Guy?

He was a Grad Assistant here, Talks about the program and visits that players like this year, and married a Tennessee Vols Cheerleader.

Seems like his invested in Tennessee to me.

 

[volmaverick]

Wasn't that obvious with the two superbowl appearances?

Really two? what was the other one besides Tampa?

 

[Carl Pickens]

He was .500 at best or he wouldn't have been fired

Seems like his invested in Tennessee to me.

He was also a wide receivers coach University of the Pacific..guess that makes him a University of the Pacific guy

 

[Spawn]

Really two? what was the other one besides Tampa?

He went to the superbowl with the Raiders and Tampabay. Won it in Tampa.

Sorry didn't realize OP didn't know anything about Gruden.... Would've never commented

He went to the superbowl with the Raiders and Tampabay. Won it in Tampa.

what year with Oakland?

 

[Cdywolfe]

He was .500 at best or he wouldn't have been fired

51-52 and 2-3 in the playoffs.

Maybe, but he didn't marry one of their cheerleaders.

Gruden did not make it to the Super Bowl with the Raiders. Tuck Rule kept him out of it.

I think he's implying that you re wrong. They lost in the AFC Champ game to Baltimore. You might wanna try not being a Richard.

what year with Oakland?

if you're going to claim TB was Dungy's team then Gruden gets credit for Oakland. Only fair right?
