Not at all considering Gruden would only coach at two schools in college ( ND and UT) and their apparent insiders are trolls from VN and other people hahahahaha

So how concerned do we need to be with the arky rumors they have signed Gruden?

Gruden will not coach Arky in our lifetime. He will coach UT in college or nobody. He has zero ties to them and they couldnt afford everything he wants. Not sure we would even pay all he's asking with his salary and his assistants.

I don't doubt Ark can afford him. That won't be the reason he doesn't go there. Walton's, Tyson's, J.B. Hunt and sold out home crowds in every major sport ensure that they can afford who they want.

There is no one in any of the media saying that Gruden would ever consider Arkansas. UT and ND are the only two college programs he would consider.

You're very misinformed. Arkansas is one of the wealtiest programs in the nation. Forbes ranks them as the 8th most valuable college team in the nation. We are ranked 12th.

Their AD fully expects to make their next head coach the highest paid coach in America. I seriously doubt its Gruden but word is that Arky has their man and the BOT have agreed to 6M per year for the new HC.

I went down to watch us play them last November and was flat out shocked at what I saw. I expected something akin to Starkville, and came away blown away at the money in the area. Many Fortune 500 companies are based in Northwest Arkansas besides Walmart.

I was also able to see their facilities upgrade that is currently in motion and can tell you its amazing. They are in the middle of a 300 million dollar facilities upgrade.

Who knows if the rumors of them having their guy signed are true, but many down there seem to believe they have a chance at Gruden and if nothing else they are willing to drive up the bid for his services.

I promise you if you wanna spend a little time to do the homework you will see they easily have the ability.

Their facilities are pretty good and money is not an issue for them or us. Our facilities are better but that's setting the bar pretty high as we have top 3 facilities in the country.

They would never pay the close to 10 mill a yr for him and his assistants. They would never generate the revenue UT would to even justify doing that. So no they wouldnt/couldnt.

I also guarantee you they will not be paying a Coach 6 million a year muchless Gruden. He would never take that job as has been mentioned on numerous outlets. It would be UT or ND in college and thats it. I probably should have reworded what I said. Any of the 14 SEC schools could /would have the money to pay 10+ mill for a coach and assistants but very few have 100k+ plus side stadiums, sell the amount of merchandise they do and get the tv ratings to generate the money from football to justify paying that kind of money. We went cheap with Dooley and has cost us the 3 worst yrs in Vol football I can ever remember. I guarantee you we would win a bidding war this yr if it came down to it. Arkansas doesnt have anything that could match would UT could offer from facilities (including stadium size),fan base, tv ratings, merchandising etc. Especially when the fans are behind the coach, which we would be with Gruden or other big name hires. Im not positive what Razorback stadium holds but cant imagine it being more than 75 or so. Petrino gave Arky a cpl good yrs and even at their best they couldnt beat Saban, Miles or Chizzik's one good yr to win the West. Honestly not sure what big name coach would take that job, especially having to battle Saban, Miles, Sumlin and depending on who Au gets could easily be 3rd-5th every year. Gruden definitely wouldnt, doubtful Patterson would nor do I see Gundy taking it. Peterson sure the hell wouldnt either. No idea who is even on their list after them. But i guarantee you we land the better coach this yr.

Im not disputing that, my main point was Gruden is not considering Ark and its really funny after hearing he would only consider 2 Universities that they think he will be roaming the sidelines there next year. Not saying UT is getting him but he will be coaching TN before he coach's in Fayetteville. Like I said any SEC school could technically afford him thanks to Boosters but very few would actually do it based on the money they could generate by spending close to 10 mill for a Coach and his assistants. I barely could see UT spending that much I definitely couldnt see a University like Ark doing it. I honestly dont know what each school generates just based on ticket sales and merchandising but would imagine we bring in a whole lot more than Ark just based on stadium size and fan base alone.
