Grumors are back. Tennessee just isn’t at the forefront of them this time.

“I’m being honest with you. I do not ******** either. I want to coach again,” Gruden said. “I’d die to coach in the SEC. I would love it. I would ******* love it.”

That ship has sailed.

If he was willing to be an OC, then absolutely. He would be incredible at QB coaching and adding wrinkles into the veer n shoot.

I just doubt he wants to be anything other than a HC anymore.

So looking at the bottom nine SEC teams over the past decade...

8. Texas A&M: 37-23 (61.7%)
9. Missouri: 38-24 (61.3%)
10. Kentucky: 33-29 (53.2%)
11. Florida: 33-30 (52.4%)
12. South Carolina: 31-30 (50.8%)
13. Arkansas: 30-31 (49.2%)
14. Auburn: 28-33 (45.9%)
15. Mississippi State: 27-34 (44.3%)
16. Vanderbilt: 16-42 (27.6%)

...if you were Jon's best friend and agent, where would you suggest he'd have the best chance to enjoy himself and have a successful outcome? (excluding schools who are probably happy to keep their current coach.)

His best chance to land a job within the conference, is Arkansas or Kentucky.

There's one obvious answer, Florida.

 

[NATHAN05]

There's one obvious answer, Florida.

I hate to say it, but that's what jumped out at me too. They still like him down here in the Tampa area and he used to live here for some time. Not to mention if Lagway doesnt go and/or gets hurt earlier in the year I think Sunbelt Billy is cooked. Lot of extremely nervous gator fans down here right now (the somewhat rational ones anyways).

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

There's one obvious answer, Florida.

That would be awesome. We would be dominating UF if Gruden took over.

 

[BruisedOrange]

There's one obvious answer, Florida.

Looking at their preseason rankings, I think Gator fans are ready to give Billy another year or two. He's got them trending upward, anyway.

I'd think ATM, South Carolina, or Auburn would be happier homes for the G-man, with better chances for success.

Like we did when they've had bad coaches since Spurrier

Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Auburn would be the programs I would target.

 

[jacksonvol24]

Gruden only now wants to coach in SEC because he is cooked with the NFL. He thought he was too big for us on a couple of occasions. He just wants to make himself relevant again. I for one, just wish he would go away. He had his chance and now this just feels desperate on his part.

 

[stolitonic]

There's one obvious answer, Florida.

If the Gators move on from Sunbelt Billy, they are going big game hunting. Griden has never been a HC in college. Has he really been anything above a grad assistant or position coach in the college game. It just reeks of a Belichek like mess without the floosie.

I think his best chance where he might be able to have SOME success would be Auburn. Those folks down there are about fed up with the Freeze experiment. He's gonna have to turn in a monster season to keep himself off the hot seat or outright fired

Interview question #1: Jon, how much golf do you play?

 

[NATHAN05]

I agree......but I refuse to like it.....but wanted you to know its correct.

 

[livefaith]

Stoops replacement. Book it.

No way I'm reading all these comments..... lol

I don't see that happening. Unless of course Gruden is really desperate or broke and I doubt that.

I mean even if he went to KY and did exceptional, their ceiling is kinda the better years of Stoops and that is still not very great. For KY fans, going 10-2 or something must be like winning the NC

Tough place to win in football up there and of don't really see that changing much.

IF Gruden does somehow end up in the SEC it's gonna be for a school that at least has a glimmer of hope of being able to win it all. To me that would be-

Bama-no way
Texas-no way
Florida-no way
Georgia-no way
LSU-not gonna hire a HC with no college experience in 2025
A&M-maybe, but they would never hire him
Us-ir we haven't learned our lesson by now then God help us
Oklahoma-dom't see it happening.

Really only leaves Auburn

 

[Firebirdparts]

It seems like SC is not really an option. The timing is just not there for firing Beamer. The rest, yeah. Especially if some if these coaches are happy to give up.
