Gruden / Manning and recruiting

I don't know if it's Gruden or not. But I do believe that we announce a legit head coach this time. I also don't believe Hart will have any say in the final choice.

The first rule of recruiting is understanding what motivates your target. Money is not always the top priority. Are their other drivers that might turn a target?:

  • Family considerations can be a strong motivator
  • An opportunity to become one of three coaches to get a Superbowl and NCAA National Championship ring
  • The opportunity to restore glory to a wavering legendary football program - which would seal your legacy
  • Sometimes doing what your conscience tells you is right and good
  • Management styles - Are you given latitude to call all shots or do you have someone over your shoulder.

Bullet points are unacceptable formatting on this website. You are only permitted to use run-on sentences with poor grammar and sentence structure, conflicting verb tenses, and end questions without a question mark, but rather a period.

I just broke all of these rules, but do as I say--not as I do. :peace2:

Oh and state income tax. It is a deal breaker for a lot of pro athletes and coaches would be no exception.

Most states, with state income tax, tax out-of-state pro athletes on a per game/pro rata basis when a game is played in that state. This is known as the "jock tax". When a Grizzlies' or Titans' player plays in California, Indiana, etc, he plays Non-Resident income taxes for the allocated pay for that game. Not sure about the tax status of the coaches for out of state games.

This is 100% accurate, but the difference comes to home games. If you play your home games in Tennessee then no state tax on those games, where as if you play for the New York Giants all of your home games would be subject to NY tax and all of your away games would be subject to the state the game is in too.

Gruden would be a rock star in recruiting. Even late in the game I think he could convince and maybe flip some top 100 players to come here. Our needs are great in recruiting especially a top end pass rusher and a lock down cornerback and some really good linebackers. Don't want to get my hopes up this could all be a pipe dream but a VOL fan got to have hope for a merry Christmas. It won't include a bowl game but I didn't especially want to go to the Auto Zone bowl in Memphis anyway.

Because nobody except Bobby Petrino would live in a piss hole like Arkansas. Gruden has no ties to Arkansas...why in the hell would he live there instead of Knoxville/East TN where he already has property and visits yearly?

UT will give him as much as he wants so the blank check play by Arkansas is a wash. Arkansas doesn't have near the tradition and national fan base UT has.

But...but...Arkansas is the home of Wal-Mart.

I dont know whats going on with Gruden, i'll be the first to admit that. everything we here about Gruden comes from the boosters. The one thing i do know, Dave Hart plans on seeking permission from UCLA on November 25th to speak with Jim Mora.
