If you ****s gild a statue of a football coach in gold, I'm melting that **** off and heading straight to the liquor store,

Gruden knows his likeness would be cast into a golden monument. Then we would journey to his likeness during rainstorms to drink the rain as it trickles off his Grudom

Are you actually speaking of a "Gruden Golden Grudom"

I don't think I would have gone there

Not putting any stock in this but I heard Chip Kelly was allegedly in Knoxville today. Anyone heard anything about this or is someone just trolling me?

He was driving Gruden to meet with the AD, then they were stopping at Gus's Good Times Deli for a BLT.

If it really did happen. Could you imagine the first time a Jon Gruden led Vols team runs through the T?

It's fun to imagine the first time we run through the T with Nick on the sideline. AC/DC Walk all Over You playing, Nick and his boys all pee a little.

Well he was an above average NFL head coach, so stands to reason that he’d be somewhat successful at a lower level.

No it doesn't. College football might be a lower level but that does not mean it is easier to be a great college coach than a great pro coach. To be a great college coach, you have to be a good tactician but also a good recruiter. I don't know how much recruiting Gruden did during his college career, but his last college gig was back in 1991 as Pitt's WR coach. I know he's a great personality and that would probably serve him well on the recruiting trail, but I'd rather have a guy who has demonstrated an ability to do it in the past.

Also, the only reason you can say above average NFL coach is because he won that Super Bowl with Dungy's team. If you remove his last 2 years in Oakland and the first year in Tampa, his NFL coaching career is the definition of mediocrity. He was a completely average head coach for the rest of the 8 years he was in the league, and only went 57-55 in Tampa overall.

Nothing new, and as a doc who knows where you are...
if you have more exams pending stay the heck away from the gruden thread. It's like crack to crackhead and will senselessly eat up more time than you will want to give.

Ps- congrats and best of luck. It's a hard road but amazing
