Why in the wide-world-of-sports does ANYBODY think that a former NFL coach is the way to go? If an NFL coach is not working now, he has either been fired or retired. In either case, he's probably making a BIG PILE of money and he doesn't have to suck up to 5* football recruits and he doesn't have to be concerned about his won-loss record. Although some former NFL coaches do well in the college ranks, I think it is more the exception to the rule than the rule. Jon Gruden is making a big pile of money now WITHOUT the stress of coaching. So, why would he be even more than mildly interested in leaving the plum-of-a-job he already has?????
