I'm just going by the 50+ high school football players that I'm around daily. They pay 0 attention to announcers, but they know who the crazy LSU coach was. You'd be surprised how little football high school football players watch. They have better things to do, and usually the last thing they want to do after getting out of a long Monday full of football practice is to go home and watch more football

Gruden is a TV star... I don't get the hype

Mark Richt.

Richt is coaching at his alma mater. Might as well go ahead and say Lincoln Riley, Jim Harbaugh or Dabo Swinney while you're at it. lol

At least Tennessee dreams BIG!!! We want a retread!!

Gruden hasn't coach in college in 27 years, should be fine.

122 ranked defense after 3 years.  We have no [CENSORED] shot whatsoever, and to say we do is delusional man.  If he was anything more than a great OC, his defense would have improved.  He's no head coach.

Tennessee's pursuit of Gruden may be heating up, as school officials reported flew into Tampa to try to woo him.

Supposedly was offered a 7 year, $71M deal by Tennesee

Yes, this is for real.  Tennessee honestly thinks that they can get him to come be their coach.  In fairness, he does have several ties to the program and the area, plus his future at ESPN can't be as secure as it was a few years ago, given all the cuts and lay-offs.

I'm sure it's nothing that a $500 retainer can't fix.  Contact JackRabbit Hog for payment instructions.

Gruden would fare about as well in college as Spurrier and Kelly did in the NFL IMO. He has made comments numerous times about his disdain for the NCAA rulebook. If they want to hire him, they better be prepared to open up the vault, also..

Yeah they are hiring the name. Nothing about Gruden makes sense for Tenner.

7 years for 71 million sounds like they did open the vault.

Hahahaha I honestly hope they hire Gruden. He is a complete unknown in the College Football world. I would much rather them spend $6M-$8M/year on him rather than a proven College Head Coach that I'm sure they can get.

The only chance UT has of landing Gruden is based on 1) the current culture at ESPN is a shell of itself former self (due to continued/still to come cutting of high contract labor), 2) Gruden's rapport with Sean McDonough off camera is the equivalent of pudding skin compared to the relationship he had with Tirico, and 3) Gruden finally realizes NFL owners aren't exactly lighting up his voicemail for job offers.

Highly unlikely unless previously mentioned 1 and 2 become unbearable and allow his ego to accept 3.

As I reported earlier Jon Gruden did not meet today with John Currie and other boosters about the Tennessee job. As I also reported Tennessee might talk to Gruden in the future but I do not think he will take the UT  job. If he returns to coaching I think it will be in the NFL

Dream on, Tennessee, but Jon Gruden isn't Nick Saban


QuoteScarblog: Said it before, but it bears repeating as the #Grumors reach critical mass. SEC football programs would be much better off if they would stop trying to hire another Nick Saban.

There's only one of those.

So here's a little friendly advice for our neighbors to the north whose favorite color is dreamsicle orange. Dream on, Vols for Life, but if your Jon Gruden fantasy were to happen, he wouldn't be even a reasonable facsimile.

Look at the SEC coaches who've beaten Saban since he got things rolling in his second season in Tuscaloosa: Urban Meyer, Steve Spurrier, Les Miles, Gene Chizik, Kevin Sumlin, Gus Malzahn and Hugh Freeze.

Only Spurrier had NFL head coaching experience, as weak as it was, on his resume. With the exception of Meyer's relentless intensity, none of them bears much resemblance to the Alabama coach. With the exception of Malzahn and Sumlin, none of them still works in the SEC.

Spurrier throwing out coaching search hints to the Gator Nation doesn't count as work.

The truth about Jon Gruden and Tennessee coaching search

QuoteKNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Jon Gruden-to-Tennessee "Grumors" are in full effect. Reporters are fruitlessly staking out airports. Bloggers are looking to out-sensationalize one another.

Don't kill the messenger, Vols fans, but it's extremely unlikely that Gruden is coming to Rocky Top.

"I can't see it happening," a prominent booster told SEC Country on Thursday.

"I don't think Jon Gruden is coming," a Tennessee football staff member said later in the day.

But Gruden recently said "never say never to nothing" in regard to a possible return to coaching, and that is all the hope some Vols' fans need.

Was Jon Gruden in Knoxville Saturday or wasn't he? 'Grumors' continue to swirl


QuoteJon Gruden might have been in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Saturday, but then maybe he might not have been.

With Tennessee's football coaching job officially open, the last few days have been a peak time for #Grumors. The former NFL coach -- and current NFL analyst -- may or may not have been spotted dining with former Volunteers quarterback Peyton Manning at Calhoun's, a popular area restaurant.




bill hofheimer @bhofheimer_espn

For all those wondering, Jon Gruden is actually 2,500 miles away from Calhoun's ... in Seattle prepping for #MNF. Production mtgs w/ the Seahawks this afternoon. https://twitter.com/calhouns/status/932050993788936192 ...

Gruden was a pro coach, and he has no interest in coaching again.  He's making good money at football telecasts and isn't leaving.

Hi Rick and Randy...first time caller...longtime listener.

Listen I have lurked here for years and remember being on hogville on my blackberry back in the day when the Petrino hire was going down. Has anyone put together a list of the posters here and their record for predictions? The great Duckman, Porkaterian etc. Just throwing it out there..


P.S. Anybody remember the legendary "All things Gruden Merged" thread? It was so legendary that it even had its own twitter account. These searches are always fun lol.

Raiders coach Jon Gruden crashes Tennessee class via Zoom


QuoteTennessee was the subject of numerous "Grumors" a couple of years ago, when it seemed Jon Gruden might take the head coaching position for the Vols.

However, the Vols went with Jeremy Pruitt.


His wife may have had connections there

***GRUMORS NEVER DIE***

Raiders coach and former #Vols staffer Jon Gruden digitally drops in to surprise students in a University of Tennessee business class, including RB Ty Chandler.

https://bit.ly/2zf6tSZ



QuoteGrumors never die.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden became the latest celebrity to digitally drop into a University of Tennessee online class, and UT released the video on Monday.

Gruden — a former Vols graduate assistant who married a Tennessee cheerleader —

"Excuse me, Professor Morris. My name is Jon Gruden, and I'm the coach of the Raiders," Gruden said moments after dropping into the class. "We're getting ready for the NFL Draft. I don't have a lot of time. I just don't know, do you say 'DAT-uh' or 'DAY-tuh?' Which is it?

"We're really sorry to interrupt. I'm a huge Tennessee fan."

By "we," Gruden meant himself and his wife, who promptly showed him how to turn on the video on his laptop so the students could see him.

"I'm a little confused. Thank God my wife helped me out here," Gruden said. "Some of my best memories are right down there at Cumberland Avenue."
