Jon Gruden (Tampa Bay Bucs) discussion

But where there is smoke there is fire. It could be possible if Gruden really wants it to happen.

I really think Kiffin winds up the new coach here.

They did use the phrase "Tennessee has targeted Jon Gruden" I wonder where this is coming from because we have not heard it here locally

Sooner or later Gruden gonna have to comment on it...although he's probably gonna say the usual "I'm happy where I am" speech until the season's over.

Everybody who is not interested has dismissed the rumors within a day. And don't you think that if he wasn't interested, that he would add fuel to the fire by showing up in Kville all weekend (family or not)?

This story is about to explode. If he don't dismiss this within 48 hours then I say we get him.

That is actually what I thought about Donovan to Kentucky a few years ago. Florida was about to play for the national title with the rumors swirling, and the fact that he hadn't denied them in that situation made me sure he was leaving.

Hamilton is keeping Gruden in West Knoxville, has Cowher golfing with the Haslams, and Kiffin touring campus, all in one weekend. And people say he's no a good AD.

when you put it that way it's kind of impressive

I think a lot of times coaches use these situations as a leveraging tactic. I don't know that Gruden needs to do that considering the payday he is getting from Tampa on his last extension. I have no doubt that he will at least listen to us, but that doesn't translate into him actually accepting the job. I really can't see Gruden coming to Tennessee, but stranger things have happened (see: Nick Saban).

I agree with you, but I say it will happen when he goes back to Tampa and the Bucs force him to make an announcement

I would say Saban going to Bama was much less surprising. Saban wasn't nearly as good of a pro coach as Gruden has been.

You gotta figure its not really about the money for this guy anymore, hes loaded, and he wont take a large paycut if we get him, I for one know i would rather take a pay cut and be an iconic coach in the SEC where my players respect and look up to me and where i would have absolute power. A lot of Tampa fans want Gruden gone and you know getting respect from his players is a hard thing to do when they make 2.5x more money than he does.

That's what I meant. Saban is an unusual case, but is sort of representative of the "stranger things have happened" idea. I tend to agree with most people here in that I am fairly sure Gruden isn't going to leave Tampa.

Agree, but Satan sucked in the NFL.

I don't post much, I usually just read what everyone has to say. I post on Volchat and OM.


I was watching Around The Horn and the Jon Gruden to Tennessee discussion came up. The other 3 guys shot it down, and Woody Paige said he has talke to his "people" at Tennessee and he said "I guarantee Jon Gruden is the next coach at The University of Tennessee." He said the have land in East Tennessee and his wife is from ther and still has family there and they want to raise there 3 children there.

Woody is also a big UT fan. I didn't watch that, but the discussion on PTI seemed more sensible.
