Gruden's Contrat With ESPN

Just to add this, remember that ESPN and the NFL have a $1.8 BILLION deal per year for Monday Night Football, with Jon Gruden as the headlining act in the booth.

Yes, contracts are nothing more than a legal method of beginning, guiding, and terminating a business agreement, however ESPN did not put that stipulation in the contract for the hell of it. They were making sure that they were going to keep Gruden in the booth for the new contract's length. You can bet that any buyout would blow away what a coaching buyout would incur.

Gruden is pulling in $4.3 million per year doing MNF.He works only during the season. He works only a couple of days week. His wife loves Tamapa and he gets to spend mist of his time in that area.Think that he is goin to give that up to work fulltime for the same kind of money? It would take over $8-$10 million per year to get him to leave, plus paying off a huge buyout that could approach $15-$20 million.

Alabam....errr Arkansas has a GREAT coach. John L deserves an extension. Do they expect him to work miracles in a half of a season? Come on people. He just needs more time. He'll be beating ULM type teams in no time with those recruiting classes that are ranked 9th in the SEC! The instant gratification generation needs to learn some patience. Geez. I remember when we had to boil water on the stove. Now that takes patience. Besides, he's witty in a crazy uncle/Joe Biden sense.


- page 8 paragraph 4 lines 5-9 of The Dooley True Believer Handbook, 3rd edition and adapted to fit Alabam....doggone it...Arkansas' situation

Link me to the actual contract that lists his salary.

Yes, because he has stated himself that his real passion is coaching. Not saying it will be here but still not buying that his contract will prevent him from coaching.

If it were unrealistic for Gruden to get out of that deal to return to coaching, he would not continue to discuss the possibility of coaching again when asked.

The longer we go with no comment from Gruden, the more I think "something" may be ongoing. With a growing story in the media, if he were not interested, I would think he would officially be distancing himself from it. I can find nothing of the sort.

Kind of surprised no one has come out and denied this even if it is true

Even more than this, with official visits going on, if UT planned to stand behind Dooley THEY would have issued a statement.

I am not sure, but has the Rock ever been painted twice in the same week with anti-coach sentiment? I do not remember even Randy Sanders getting that.

Even before Gruden inked this deal with ESPN it was widely known that he would one day return to coaching. Why would he agree to a contract that would prevent him from doing his passion, if the right opportunity arose. He is only at ESPN until the right opportunity comes around, working there gives him a chance to market himself and be around the game. Everyone is reading too much into this ESPN thing.

Another poster finally broke it down to them the way it works. Made a lot of sense. But some of them just don't get it. Don't know if I'm aloud to copy and paste from there???

Arky still doesn't understand that they are still the red headed step child of the sec.

(No offense to red heads or step children)

One would think Hart would want to shoot down the Gruden thing quick because if it doesn't go thru then fans would be in for a big letdown and he would get the brunt of a lot of it.

I know we cannot copy and paste from premium sites but as far as I know it is fine to copy and paste from there. Someone correct me if I am wrong...:)
