Official Jon Gruden Thread XVII

...a former UT assistant told me last winter that in the coaching world the Tennessee job is a "destination job," meaning a top tier job. Cowherd recently listed the Tennessee job as a Top 10 job. If you coach Tennessee and win the SEC Championship Game, you arguably are the favorite to win the national title in the the playoff. Saban was born 10/31/51, so in two weeks he will be 66, meaning his time at Alabama is nearing its end. If Gruden, now 54, becomes Tennessee's coach, wins the SEC, wins the national title, he will have won a college national title and a Super Bowl. After Gruden retires, he would eventually be nominated by Tennessee to the College Football HOF and would surely be elected. Therefore, the Tennessee job carries with it the potential for Gruden to be recognized as one of the all-time greats in football. Remaining as the color analyst on MNF would not.

Springbok said that a meeting was held with Gruden and Currie and an offer would be made .... that was just a little earlier

Right but I didn't know if de ja vu meant another coaching search or that he had heard gruden said thanks but no thanks again

Seriously. My husband keeps telling me he thinks I have a problem.

Same. And I keep telling him- but it's Grude thread time!! I can't look away. I've been trying to get to a Netflix movie for the past hour, but there are more important things at hand here on VN...

Springbok confirmed an offer will be or was made to Gruden..... now what we need is for him to accept it.....


Don't know how this got past you guys

Not to be a downer but I was asked if I thought and offfer would be presented and answered yes.

That is my opinion.

Not confirming an offer will be presented.
