Swanson's break down of what he said:

john gruden would be a better coach now than he ever was in years past. He's compiled volumes on the spread offense and has developed his own version of it. He still loves developing players and is great with qb's. All you have to do is watch him at a clinic. He has a model for recruiting that he would implement if he were to ever get back into coaching and has a list of assistants that he would immediately bring with him if it were to ever happen. He's mellowed out, is a great motivator and is exactly the type of coach you want to manage egos. You can make comments like "he backed into a super bowl" but you would be wrong. You don't "back" into winning a super bowl. I'm not saying that he will be the coach at ut but if you've ever been around him, you have no doubt that he could be a very good college football coach. If they go after gruden, it's going to be a great sign that they are going to fish in the deep water.

Nothing ham handed about currie. Guy is as sharp as they come.

Alot of folks who have thought it an impossibility that gruden is an option are hearing exactly the opposite right now. Some things are changing on the hill.

Obviously there's only back channel type work being done but the ball is definitely in play.

It isn't a recent development. Alot of folks are rowing in the same direction right now.

I still don't see chip kelly being an option. No way that there will be a consensus on him.

On putting odds on new coach:

Kelly? No chance. Gruden? Wish i could put a number on that. I'll just say this, if he doesn't end up being the hc here it won't be because of ut.

No one from ut is actually talking to john gruden. It is all speculative questions asked and answered by 3rd parties. It is how business is done in cfb. Coaches that are currently employed reach out to other schools in the same fashion. Most of this news is coming from the ut side of things. There is a plan and it is being worked.

I wandered outside of the Gruden thread ... man people are hostile!
I don't need a safespace or anything, but man the Gruden thread feels like home.

It's amazing to me that there are people on this site, that (if we land Gruden), want him to fail, just so they can say, "I told you so." At least that's how it seems.

Either he's the next coach at UT or he ain't, but to hope he fails is childish to me.

Anywho, I sure do hope Gruden is our next coach.

I said this in another thread, the sunshine pumpers will become negavols because deep down, they like failure.

The so called negavols are the ones that want the best for the program... We've allowed these sunshine pumpers to control the language and turn us against ourselves.
