Probably a private box, or something similar. Allow him to take in the game, and if lucky discussions on running the team while not being pestered by us. lol Lets be honest, we all would badger him asking him to come coach.

I wouldn’t even know how to badger him but I am on the record as saying (as if any cares) that his public appearance in Ktown today is a bad sign for the grudenites

How is it in any way bad? Sure it could seem as if he isn't interested because he should be hiding while discussing take over...BUT two things, one he had a plan the entire time to go eat with his son and his son frat group tonight. 2, maybe Gruden just has those Nuts to say I don't care what you think, Ill show up and negotiate now.

You may be absolutely correct. I get the impression he has deep respect for the coaching fraternity and thus would expect that he would be sensitive to anything that could appear to be in bad taste. But that’s just my opinion.

I just really want to know why anyone thinks Gruden would want to leave a cushy job paying upwards of $7 mil per year, one from which he could easily retire, to take a pay cut and jump into the meat grinder that is college football coaching? Does he just miss coaching? Then why wait 8 years? Does he want a challenge? Again, why wait 8 years? He basically has nothing to gain and everything to lose by jumping back into coaching. If he does well, he's taken a pay cut to work harder and given up a gig he may never get back. If he fails, he loses credibility and has given up a gig he may never get back. There's literally zero upside for such a move. It would be the dumbest career move in history. Now, if he were to lose the commentator gig, then I could see it, but there's no indication his job is on the line. I'm sorry. I simply see no way such a thing would ever happen.

Just close your eyes and imagine Gruden and all the five stars running through the T. Stop with the hate.

Don't get me wrong, I think Gruden is very respectful of the coaching fraternity and would not blatantly interview and discuss with Butch there... However, discussing behind closed doors about a hypothetical future is another thing, as long as he is respectful of Jones in the process. It is business, most GREAT managers, AD, owners, even coaches are CONSTANTLY looking for ways to improve. Even throwing out feelers to test the waters. How would you ever have a coach in waiting or one that is hired in such a short time after a coach is fired, without having discussions before you replaced the coach?
