Well, I'll add to the Grumors. Nothing substantial and only reaffirms another Grumor. Typical he said, she said situation but who told me gave it some credibility as they normally wouldn't have the info or even care if they did.

A good friend is a Gator fan, we give each other heck and talk football a lot but never troll each other (we've been in so many arguments about TN/FL that we long ago realized we had to be respectful to preserve the friendship haha). Anyways, his wife is from Kentucky, a big UK fan, comes home and says: "[wife] said some Appy St guy was asked by Gruden if he'd join his staff if he took the Vols job" "She works with a girl who knows the wife of the guy. So take that for what its worth lol"

I laugh and text him back it's Dale Jones and soon as I hit enter he sends me another text, "said his name is dale Jones? Who is that"

That's it, no biggie, he would never troll me as he is on pins and needles about who UF is hiring and as mentioned we don't do that to each other so I believe him.

No. He would be well down the list IMO.

We will have to agree to disagree on that. Nobody from the list I have seen is even on the same level that Jimbo is on. If we don't get Gruden then Jimbo should be #2 then nobody else is even close as far as what they have achieved.

Gruden to the Bucs...well on to Plan B :)
Bucs reporter believes Jon Gruden will return to coach team | Larry Brown Sports

“I think (Dirk) Koetter’s got seven weeks to prove that this team is still buying what he’s selling,” Kaufman said. “The stands are half empty, and there’s a guy out there that has a lot of juice and can fill those stands. … I’m starting to believe it for the first time, that Gruden’s coming back.”

Kaufman listed several reasons why he believes Gruden may finally be ready to leave his broadcasting gig with ESPN. One of them is that Gruden supposedly does not have the same passion for announcing games as he did when he was working alongside Mike Tirico, who is a close friend.

Gruden admitted over the summer that he misses coaching, and the former quarterback has been hosting his own QB camp with top NFL prospects for several years at ESPN, so he might enjoy working with Jameis Winston. Kaufman also noted that Gruden could have his son Duece Gruden, who currently works as a strength coach for Gruden’s brother Jay with the Washington Redskins, on his staff if he became a head coach again.

Hearing that Kevin Steele has been contacted to gauge his interest in becoming Gruden's DC from TOS.

Would be a great hire. He's one of the best recruiter's in college football. Gruden could potentially assemble the best staff of coach's and recruiter's college football has ever seen.

You nor your "source" clearly understand the Chip Kelly hurdles or the process.

Spare me. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure the hurdles Kelly was under to get a new gig. For the process. Anyone with a brain understands what hurdles they have to go through for someone like Kelly. But to think it wouldn't get expedited is being naïve. These schools, agents, attorneys etc. get paid to push these things through to get done.
