Gruden announcement Saturday, $50M over 8 years...11 prospects targeted that JG will personally visit immediately. Ergen was the leader in making it happen. Tee will be on the staff.
He said he would never ever pass it along unless he thought it was 100% rock solid.
TIFWIW...
Get the GrudenShine ready...the Pumps are PRIMED!
I was told Monday but who knows they may have moved it up. This is going down folks. John Gruden will be the Head Football Coach at the University of Tennessee.

From "Cliff Notes"... Wanted to get the thread back on track.
Not sure if this is the place for it but why type if reputation dies Gruden have with Florida people? Didn't he go out with a bad reputation?
I was in Tampa when they were calling for his head. They saw the steady drop in performance for the Bucs at the end of his tenure.
The fans on the Gruden band wagon may be in for a big shock if he is hired. He will come in with a big splash, get some big name recruits and get blown out by Oregon and lose to Florida next year. The new recruits can't help that soon. The bandwagoneers will start to have their doubts and by year 3 after some Music City bowl losses, they will be yelling for his head just like the Buc fans were.
If he his hired, I will support him 100% and probably give him more leeway than the present bandwagoneers will give him. He is not the Messiah that they think he is.
