Had it not been for Monte Kiffin, Gruden wouldn't even be in the discussion right now. I honestly don't think he's a viable candidate, mainly because he's not been a college coach in so long. Dooley's replacement needs solid SEC level coordinator experience, and needs to be a relentless recruiter. If Gruden came to UT, I think he would get burnt out rather quickly. It takes a special kind of breed to coach here, mainly because the recruiting is so demanding.

again valid points on his pro jobs but I disagree with the comment that he cant handle the demanding part of the job
Am I the only guy in the world that saw the HBO real sports doc on Chucky.. The guy never sleeps!

First, I'm not a blogger. 2nd I'm no fan of basketball. What on earth you are ranting about?

Now, you speak of civilty yet curse at those that want a credible coach. Again, logic? We were foolish hiring Dooley. Undoing that mistake is a positive step.

I have my answers. It is up to you to find your own. Google is a great place to start.

He's got you mixed up with zjc.

Gruden did an amazing job with Oakland and done what he was brought in to do at Tampa.

He didn't just ride on the coattail of Kiffin to his success.

It would appear to me if the powers to be wanted a Saban type coach, they would go straight to Saban and offer him a blank check. Many have said in this thread that money is not a problem for the right hire, so which is it?

Saban is a proven winner in the college ranks, the money backers at UT are smart men, if W's is what they want I am sure they would pay for it.

Is this thread going to go on forever? This is making the fan base look just plain stupid. We have a thread of over 1,500 posts about a freaking espn employee becoming our next head coach and he's going to take us back to the glory land and we will be better than Bama and lsu starting day one and all will be well. STFU stop riding this guys d..k and stop talking about him. He not the second coming of Jesus. He is not coming to Tennessee there is no secret contract he is not "building his staff". This thread makes us look like some lower tier team who is waiting for some miracle coach to fall in our lap and make us a national champion. Gruden probably has his assistant come read this thread daily and tell him the updates so he can laugh and point at poor ole Tennessee. We are probably the laughing stock of espn.. No wonder everything thinks they hate us. Ok I've vented about this dumb thread. I feel much better.

Work ethic and burnout will not be an issue. There is no downside in my opinion outside him leaving to go to the NFL. We would need to give him a long-term deal with a huge buy-out.

What does Monte Kiffin have to do with it? Gruden would be relentless. Dude puts in work.

Bama is top of the mountain right now in college, and Saban wouldn't take a cut in roster, recruiting, or support he has down there. Saban would only go to the Cowboys, if he left Bama.
