Just wanted to mention, that Gruden has a contract with ESPN through 2021 which we will have to most likely buy.

Also, Gruden has a fear of failure, on one hand it's good to hate losing more then to like winning, on the other this job is probably too high pressure for him. The opportunity for failure is high for him, and Gruden does not get involved in opportunities for failure.

If he does come here, and it is looking very likely like a 50/50 shot, meaning it's not impossible; you are going to have to pay out the AZZ hole for him. That means he better win. If he doesn't, you have just set back or killed UT football for DECADES. Everything is dead at that point, including facilities and other sports. If he comes, it's because you paid him so much money he would be set without work either way. If he failed to win here there would be little repercussion for him. It would mean EVERYTHING for UT though. Gruden is as high risk a gamble as you can make for someone that hasn't coached a game in 10 years and hates recruiting. Just saying.

Looks like somebody else is afraid of failure.

If you don’t swing for the fences, you will never hit a home run.
