Serious question: What if Gruden is a bust? The man hasn't coached in a very long time and its been even longer since he coached in the college ranks. Don't get me wrong from a personality and stature perspective he is the "man", but I'm more concerned with the Coach aspect. The other stuff simply won't matter if he can't coach.

STFU and GTFO!

If Gruden takes the job, Ainge is going to have to find a new career. After being a condescending arse hole for months and getting it wrong, who will want to listen to him?

Not being listened to has never in history stopped a sports "personality" from broadcasting...

Oh my, I know. They are the sweetest dogs. We live on 4 acres in the country and there’s nothing like that bawl echoing through the holler...

So if this is true, why would your boy Ainge lay down his life for Butch if he had the chance?

Lay down his life is a little strong lol. His job is not to say everything without a filter like the old TSR days. He has a listener base far more diverse now and in his personal life Butch was a good man he just treated some on and around the team badly. Erik is not on the team nor is he employed by UT except his spot on the Sunday show. Some people rely on sensationalism to sell their product; some on smaller stations with few listeners have to. He doesn't.

Was wondering the exact same thing. What would be the fallout if he lost his first game to a nobody by four td's?

That's my worry. Everyone getting all worked up, finally getting him to Knoxville and then a Great Big nothing. It would amount to the death penalty.

Amen. I am all for Gruden, but Patterson is the antithesis of Butch. Not the smoothest, used car salesman-like talker, but a real down in the grass, Xes and Oes football coach. He would be a breath of fresh air after Butch.

I'm all Grude too.

Grude / Gundy (JMO) or Patterson and Currie will have done a great job :)

Patterson can't be second choice on Currie's list.

Currie's got to get his man the first go.
