Jon Gruden (Tampa Bay Bucs) discussion

Can we stop this, Gruden is my number one guy and I think I mentioned him over a year ago, but this excitement is too much, We will fire Fulmer and Hamilton will coach the team, with that outlook I can only be relieved when the real deal goes down or feel like I am 18 and jump around if we hire Gruden

While I fully understand that Gruden coming to UT is a very very very long shot, I do want to consider "what if".

How would that work if we did lure him to UT, yet TB ends up in the playoffs.... wouldn't that end up hurting our recruiting in the long run? What would be the logistics of such a change?

Don't lose sleep over it.

We would have to give up a first round draft pick to get him, just like Tampa did when they got him from Oakland.

if you tell me we can have gruden but his first recruiting class will be behind the 8 ball because of time constraints, i would gladly take that.

If we landed him prior to his playoff run, he could bring in a few key staff members, off coord, def coord, etc. and they could hold down the fort until his season ended at TB.

The last time his name was brought up on 104.5 the zone in Nashville , Frank Wychek said that his offense is really complicated . We are having problems with Clawson's O , so if it is any harder we will have to be 3 deep at punter . If he has to punt more than we do this year his leg would fall off.:eek:

Not true, his offense is just awful to begin with.

after completing the biggest comeback in team history, Gruden's Bucs are now just a 1/2 game back of the NFC South lead. They are also currently a wild card. Why would he get fired?

Please do not wish for him as coach. Yes he won a Super Bowl, but with a team Tony Dungy put together!
Oh God pray hard that he isn't lured to the Hill. Just think No one has put together a team he can take over and win with! JUST LOOK AT US! JUST SAY NO TO GRUDEN PLEASE!!!!

In a very weak conference 5-2 in the NFC SOUTH. How does that translate to the SEC? You usually dont win SEC championships with that Plus they still have half a season to go and are second in their division.
Yes I'll concede he is a good NFL coach, took Raiders to Super Bowl and then won it with Dungys team, but does that really make a case for him as our coach?

Oh and by the way I really like him as a football coach, and his players seem to love him. But is he right to coach the Vols? I'm just not sold on it yet.
No disrespect to you guys.

A guy that didn't sniff the kind of success Gruden is having in the league is the best coach in the SEC right now. A guy that was getting consideration for being in the same echelon as Bear Bryant and General Neyland went to the NFL a few years ago and was a miserable failure.

Gruden is considered good even by NFL standards. So, yeah I think he could get the job done here.

Sorry but that argument works both ways. Some guys are college coaches some are NFL coaches. No disrespect but its not the same game!
