Gruden wants to coach in the SEC

[LowKey]

Gruden

Where would be his best fit?

 

[SubVet676]

You left out Kentucky.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

I don't think he's a fit anywhere right now, to be honest. The game has passed him by, he's not a larger than life personality a la Deion and recruits weren't even born when when he coached his last game in Tampa. Let's not forget that Jon didn't exactly set the world on fire when he helmed the Raiders for the second time.

We see how poorly Belichick meshed at UNC and he has six rings (including several rather recent ones), does Jon's Barstool stint really render him deserving of a college gig?

He'd "fit" best at Florida given the access to resources (players), but they'd be nuts to cast a line on him.

Totally agree...and thats why I want him at Florida

 

[BigBadVol]

I’m going to say Arkansas. At Florida and Auburn they would expect a Natty within 3 years. He would be given a longer leash at Arkansas. There would be a lot less pressure IMO.

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

Please let him go to Florida.

 

[volfeeva]

I can't see any team picking him up with his baggage. His resume ( win-loss) is not good enough to over come what he got in hot water over

Yeah, I think he’d be terrible. I think he’ll end up like Belichick and Herm Edwards if he does this. He was terrible in his return to the Raiders and honestly was just mediocre after his Super Bowl in the first place. He’s one of the most overrated NFL coaches.

So hopefully he goes to Kentucky or Florida lol

 

[VolFanNC09]

What about Tennessee!!

 

[UTFranklinVol]

overrated NFL coaches are the ones that make the best college coaches (Saban, Spurrier)

Hell if a 65 year old can coach Indiana football into the playoffs then Chucky can make it a Florida.

 

[Derek Reese's jumpshot]

He needs to stay on TV where he can act like a genius and get all the attention he craves with zero pressure.

He would likely be a disaster anywhere in college.

You mean the two guys who spent most of their coaching career in Cfb?

Gruden hasn’t coached Cfb since 1991. Much like Belichick who hadn’t coached cfb since the 80s. I don’t think he’s comparable whatsoever to Saban and Spurrier, in that regard.

yeah but he needs to get a fat SEC contract to make up for all the money he lost losing his job with the Raiders and suing the NFL.

step 1 get a FAT guaranteed SEC contract based on name recognition.

step 2 that's it, just get a fat guaranteed contract.

 

[VolForLife83]

I think he could do well recruiting and UF would be easy recruiting grounds for him. I think he'd fare better in CFB than most think.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

He's only a good fit at Florida. They deserve each other. Keep Motorcycle Bobby in Arkansas. Auburn needs a new coach tho. Freeze is fried.

 

[Hunerwadel]

I do believe he regrets not taking the UT job when he had the chance.

 

[volbound1700]

With massive buy-outs if you fail, who wouldn't want to coach in the SEC (or any league)? I want to coach in the SEC too.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Auburn is getting rid of washed up guy with baggage

Arkansas would just keep their washed up guy with baggage.

So, it's going to be Kentucky or Florida. Which place is better for a washed up racist with baggage?

Then Florida it is..

Gruden

Where would be his best fit?

Auburn but I don’t think it comes open. UK would be next then UF

 

[Peradox1K]

NO

 

[Volador]

Vols QB Coach???

 

[adam.vol]

Gruden left his mark in Tampa Bay. Gainesville is relatively close, plus he loves his sun visor.. I don’t think he would make a great college coach, but UF would be the best fit for Gruden out of anywhere.

 

[LAVol1]

Auburn but I don’t think it comes open. UK would be next then UF

Agree AU is best fit, because: (1) AU has demonstrated that they are willing to hire a "controversial" coach with baggage, and (2) in recent years, AU has made even more bad decisions in hiring coaches than UT, making Gruden a more viable candidate for the AU job than UF or ARK and (3) ARK has their man already. That deal was done when Petrino was hired as OC.
