Bill O'Brien was the coach at Penn St and bailed on them.

Can you blame him? After the bomb that the NCAA dropped on him and the program a few months after his hire, I’d probably be looking to exit stage left at the first opportunity. And when that opportunity is a HC job in the NFL it’s a pretty easy decision.

That leaves Bill O'Brien , lately of the Texans. He was recently fired for head-scratching trades ( J Clowney for a conditional 4th round draft) and a Hitleresque attitude in the way he ran the front office. Bad trades is a non-issue in college and his base salary was about 7 million ( chump change to a major college) . He did a great job at Penn State and won 3 of 4 divisional crowns in the AFC South. He is a winner and currently unemployed. Why not call him?

This is UT. While most other teams get the guitar player we always seem to wind up with cousin virgil.

Jesus, I don’t know which is worse, trading DHop for DJ or Gruden’s retarded ass letting Khalil Mack walk.

That looked like a horrible trade at the time, and Mack is still a beast. However, you can't deny the fact that the Raiders have improved a lot since that trade. The Hopkins trade was FAR, FAR worse. At least Gruden got some high draft picks in return. Hopkins was traded away to the Cardinals for a pack of gum.

I wouldn’t mind going outside the box and hiring an NFL offensive guy. That said college football is a different animal with cut down prep and practice and recruiting.

I would go after Meyer (no chance in hell), Freeze (we’re too stupid to), then look around at college and NFL assistants. I do think we need to look at an offensive coach though.

Since Jon Gruden has a ten year guaranteed contract at 10 million per year, I dont think we can pry him loose from THE RAIDERS and their cheesy fake flame in Vegas.

Tennessee does not need a coaching change anytime soon.

Last week Gruden was seen wearing an orange tie. Doesn't this seem like an omen? We just need to pay him a lot and get him here as HC!
