Read this and tell me if you think he would like to coach his kids in college:
Tampa Bay Bucs Coach Jon Gruden is a proud father -- OrlandoSentinel.com
Yeah, Super Bowl winners know nothing about football, HRP...
Since Gruden took over for the Tampa Bay Bucs in 2002, he has compiled a coaching record of 53-51( 51% winning percentage). Nearly half of his seasons have been losing seasons and he's only won 10 or more games 2 times. I don't know about you guys but I bet there are many NFL coaches out there with better success. I don't think people are looking any deeper than the fact that he has ties to UT and he won a Superbowl in 2002, with Tony Dungy's players. Remember, Fulmer won it all in 1998. Has he really shown us that he is capable of doing the things that are necessary to be successful at UT. Recruiting is the number one quality that our new coach should posses and we don't know if he can do that. The NFL game is much different than college and I think it's totally up in the air if Gruden can coach college football. It works both ways with college and NFL coaches. Spurrier and Carrol weren't successful at the pro level but are in college. What makes everyone think that the trend doesn't exist both ways. I'm not saying that Gruden would be a terrible hire because he does have a big name and brings alot of intensity to the table but I just don't think he is one of the top names that should be on our list. If someone can convince me otherwise, I would be glad to listen.
