I think we can get Bob Stoops

[hohenfelsvol]

Bob Stoops 143-35 record. Still coaching

Gruden 0-0 in college. Has never coached in college. Out of coaching for 5 yrs. Hasnt interacted with college kids in 21 yrs.

Yes, he is BTG

Blasphemy (sarcasm)

Yeah, it's totally obvious to anyone with a brain that a Super Bowl winning coach can't win in college.

I don't get the infatuation with Gruden personally. Yes, he won a SB--with Dungy's players. He was barely a .500 coach at Tampa. Discounting the SB with Dungy's players, he was actually below .500. Stoops would definitely be better, but isn't a realistic option.

Worth keeping an eye on from what I've heard.

So what exactly have you heard out of interest? Would love to think he would even listen if we called.

Is this post serious? With Dungy's players? Really?

Gruden had a sub .500 record after that Super Bowl team Dungy left him with, and never made it past the wildcard playoff games after that. Not exactly a good sign of someone who is a good NFL coach.

Yes, he didn't rebuild the team from scratch, did he?? How many players were on the roster that Dungy brought in??

 

[vol_in_ar]

You will be surprised to see the money show up when it's really needed.

it was needed last time, I just hope Hart's ready to spend it...obviously Hamilton wasn't

Kiffin was worse and he's really stinking it up out west.

 

[tvolsfan]

Gruden is absolutely considered a great coach and has turned down many NFL jobs.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Kiffin was worse and he's really stinking it up out west.

Yet Kiffin helped build up the very team he is coaching, more than a few years before. Kiffin is a college coach, just like Spurrier and Saban are. No proof, other than possible namesake that Gruden would succeed. Watching film at 3:30am, doesn't equate to being able to the do the job that needs to be done here.

Dungy recruited Brad Johnson.

The validity of Gruden coming to be our head coach remains to be seen, but questioning whether he would succeed here is quite ridiculous IMO. A Gruden hire would have the same effect as Saban did for Alabama.

Which us why every QB wants his advice coming out if college. He would kill it and to think otherwise is naive.

Gruden last coached in college 21 years ago. Saban won a NC, before failing as a NFL HC. That comparison is not the same. Plus, the last time Gruden won a playoff game in the NFL, was that Super Bowl.

Seeking advice, and wanting to play for a guy, are two totally different things. I can tolerate someone for a day or two in seeking to get better.

But his ability to coach has not diminished and I feel confident that top recruits would flock at the chance to play for him. That is where the comparison is similar.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

At this point I'd take a guy named Bob that sits on Stoops

Lol I agree. One of funniest post response in awhile.

 

[YankeeVol]

I'd be ok with BS

Bob Stoops..... right......dream on

Can you hear yourself?

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Sure. People can say Gruden can bring back UT all they want, but we will never hire him, and people know that. It would cost more than we are willing to pay. We won't shell out over 3 million per year this time around.
