Posted at espn.com this morning. Of note, no speculation about teams - pro or college. In fact, this article reads between the lines that Gruden isn't even considering a college team. Hope I'm wrong.

COME TO TENNESSEE, CHUCKY!!!!:rock:

It's that time of year again. With many NFL jobs possibly up for grabs at the end of the season, rumors are starting to fly that ESPN's Jon Gruden wants back into coaching....

I thought some of the language of Gruden's contract as far as access to NFL teams prevents him from coaching in the league for a few years. Maybe I misread that?

Isn't Rich Bisaccia someone we have tried to get to Tennessee before?

Yes. More than once.

Vols again target Rich Bisaccia for a staff vacancy » GoVolsXtra


Interesting to say the least. Pretty big coincidence.

After further digging it appears the only reason he didn't come is because he couldn't get out of his NFL contract. We also went after him after the 09 season.

Also interesting to note the two coaches listed in the article one is a DC one is a special teams guy. Those are our two biggest weaknesses.

I would think this means NFL.

Sources have said that Gruden's return to coaching is dependent on it being a perfect situation. He isn't interested in smaller-market teams like those he has coached at previously. Gruden wants a big-market team with good ownership and some talent on the roster. Thus, teams like Dallas, Philadelphia and the New York Jets could be potential landing spots if they make a change.

Not sure why that would mean NFL. We're no small market team.

Yeah, Florida will never win again if you got a big name coach.
