Just So Everyone Knows, Gruden is a .500 head coach.

[Negateer]

All this talk about how great he is...well, his record isn't much better than Derek Dooley's.

Just FYI

His pro record was .540.

He could be a potential disaster that we would be stuck with for years and years.

 

[TSwafford]

he would be a rockstar in Knoxville

Where is Dooley's ring. And haven't seen him on ESPN lately neither have any of the potential recruits Gruden would bring. Comparing him to Dooley is like comparing a corvette to a chevette

Way to suck the air out of the room negateer.....hope you're proud of yourself.

This argument is so stupid.

Pete Carroll .489
Nick Saban .469
Butch Davis .414
Lane Kiffin .250

 

[Donvolson]

We are not asking him to coach in the NFL. He needs to come save UT football and the city of knoxville, both have completely fallen apart

 

[BuckheadVol1]

Ignorant post and has been stated a thousand times on here already. A 540 in the pros is pretty good. Regardless, night and day different from Dooley.

 

[PennVol]

Bill Belichick is a .645 coach, and I think he's pretty good...

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I must have missed when Dooley won a Super Bowl.

 

[EricberryFAN]

The thing is.....he will bring in so much more better talent..and hopefully will have a proven DC. End of story.

Just an FYI:

Nick Saban- .469
Steve Spurrier- .375
Bobby Petrino- .231
Butch Davis- .414
Pete Carroll- .489

But you don't care about any of that because you're a Dooley homer.

edit: MGU beat me on a few of these.

Half the coaches, and half the teams, in the NFL have a .450% record (with the other half having .550%). That's one of the things to hate about the NFL. The key to the college game is recruiting. Exactally who do you think would be a better recruiter than Gruden?

[IBLEEDORANGE16]

Can you say in all honesty that Gruden can walk into any top recruit's house in the country and that recruit tell him no? I know some will have their minds set on the teams they have always dreamed of playing for and I respect that and think they should go after their dream BUT he can bring some big time recruits to Knoxville and coach the H3LL out of them and win a ton of ball games.

So he's a .500 coach in the NFL. Has nothing to do with the college level. Apples to oranges IMO

 

[tmac5469]

Lol your not very smart at all! NFL is not easy ask saban

 

[volprof]

I'm guessing this thread didn't quite work the way you envisioned, did it, OP?

 

[BigOrangeTailgate]

Pete Carroll .489
Nick Saban .469
Butch Davis .414
Lane Kiffin .250

This sums it up about as well as anything. It's been explained ad nauseam but comparing NFL winning percentages to NCAA winning percentages is apples and oranges.

 

[ric1958]

Don`t know what the OP is thinking. NFL is not the same as college. I mean Charlie Weis was a pretty successful OC, he has 4 super bowl rings to prove it. Look how well he has done as a head coach in college.

Last time I checked, there weren't any Georgia States or Akrons in the NFL.

We all get it that you have something against Gruden, but let me ask you this: do you see Jon Gruden and Charlie Weis as comparable in terms of a transition to college football? One was a Super Bowl winning head coach, the other a second fiddle. One has charisma and humph out the wazoo, the other does not. Are they still comparable, in your opinion?

Stupid argument is stupid.
