Inside Jon Gruden's 'Maniacal' Obsession with Football | Bleacher Report

Awesome article about Chucky, and provides plenty of insight why he likely never will Coach Tennessee or anywhere else. Gotta love his passion for the game. Oh and BTW he pulls $6M+/year from ESPN.

Sounds like he probably never will coach again.

However, he also sounds like the guy who just might wake up tomorrow, and decide he wants to coach again. With that level of obsession, you just never know.

And any AD out there in a coaching search will and should make sure he still is saying no. And so what if he does? While you have him there, get his opinion on the other possibles. He just might steer you clear of your next Dooley.

Love Gruden but he has parlayed a gig at ESPN and the Chucky grimace to make him a mythical coaching legend. advertising and face recognition work. He is a little over .500 coach, 95 wins 81 losses in 11 years. Averages 8.6 w's a year 7.3 L's a year. that's over a 16 game season. That would extrapolate to 6.6 W's and 5.3 L's in a 12 game college season. He is just above average coach if what Bill Parcells's say is true “you are what your record says you are”.

Nov./Dec. of '12 were awesome times on here. I've never laughed so hard in my life.

Once that stupid reporter wrote that piece with "unnamed sources", it went nuclear. That was some good times except we had no coach and our team was in the crapper.

Edit: Oh yeah, several held fast for even a year or two afterward that it was "Dave Harts fault for screwing up the deal in the 11th hour". Gruden was ready to wrap it all up, but Bama Dave was too inept to close the deal and pony up the ca$h. :eek:lol:

That's right. The guy in Chattanooga wrote that article. Hargis?

That's what sent this place out of control. Remember the Mike & Mike interview with Gruden? People were analyzing every word.

I doudt that Bill Cowher will ever coach again either. Seems he may have lost his fire and desire to coach. Also, the X's & O's of the NFL game have changed somewhat since he left Pittsburgh in 2005.

It's all a cover up...Butch is just keeping the seat warm until Jon does what he wants at ESPN, Then Butch takes a big offer from an NFL team, Gruden suddenly takes the UT job and brings in Peyton as his QB coach and every top recruit in the country commits to UT and demands for a Neyland expansion to 170 k begins and UT wins 10 national titles in a row and I can die happy man knowing we will never lose to Alabama or Florida again in my lifetime....Yes...That's what is going to happen.

Doesn't matter. He is like a backup QB, which is always the best player on the roster.

Gruden is never coming because Dooley will have us back on track soon. He was the AD at La Tech after all, so it is just a matter of time. He is just currently waiting for his revolutionary "no need for offensive lineman" scheme to sink into his players minds. Then and only then will we be able to reach the zenith of the future of Tennessee football... 4th in the East. Patience people, patience.

The only people who got played harder than us were some of the guys over on that Arkansas board. They even went so far as to rename that board "Grudenville". What was that Arky poster's name...Duckman or something?
