I'm not so sure that an NFL job is a "better" job than a high profile college job like Tennessee now that college salaries are approaching what the NFL pays.

If Gruden fashions himself as a "teacher," then I can see why the college game would be more appealing.

He might want to work with young men and make an impact on their lives. We start thinking about these kinds of things in our late 40s.

He already has a Super Bowl, so what else is there to prove in the NFL? It would just be the same song, different verse.

I am sure there are others that weigh one way or the other.

Man, I totally get your point. I have had the same argument about college jobs being better than NFL jobs (especially the high profile SEC jobs). The only thing is that for the majority of the country, I don't believe that is the perception. In the SE college football is king. If you look at ratings though, NFL is king nationwide so I believe that an argument could be made either way. It comes down to what Gruden wants.

Rucker is a choad without peer. His level if douchiness cannot be measured with existing technology.

I live for the day when I can rub his nose in the Gruden hire like a puppy on a soiled rug.

He will just come up with another excuse like he always does. How he has a job is a miracle in itself to me.

He will just claim to have known all along and had been laying down a smokescreen. Hell, he will probably twist it into he was the one that saved the deal by covering it up.

Texas assistant football coaches' salaries disclosed - Houston Chronicle

Texas assistants make 3.6 Million...When Muschamp was on staff, he made $900K, so it would have been right at the 4 Million mark.

So when Jimmy Hyams says "No one is paying that kind of money, not even Alabama and they are proven." He is wrong as usual, both Bama and Texas do and I bet LSU is right there too.

Im all for comparing return on investment but we cant include Texas salaries to anyone elses. Texas can pay what it wants. They are wealthiest university. Someone told me that studies these things that if considered their own country Texas would be like the 15th wealthiest country.

The Ainge comments are what really bother me. I am not saying he is right, but the excuses of him just denying the Gruden stuff because he has been asked to do so....I don't buy. I think some people on here (Not Dan) have legitimate information and I appreciate them sharing. I have been following since the first thread and must say that I will be very disappointed if Gruden isn't a Vol come January. With all that said...I remind myself daily of the Saban hire at Bama and everything about our situation is similar to that.

I can't believe how quickly damomite's stock has dropped around here. It's easier for us to believe totally anonymous people whom we've never met. I hope the guy comes back after he calms down from this morning.

I agree with this. I can just see him coming full circle and wanting to finish where it all started.

I think his dad was a lifelong college coach, right?

I have heard that pops was an assistant for ND under Holtz, right? Don't take my word on that and I haven't been interested enough to look it up...

So what is the deal with Danomite? Am I supposed to believe this guy is a real journalist? Bad spelling and grammar in most his posts and the Titaninsider website he writes for has had 10 to 15 people online at any time today. Starting junior high type arguments with Ainge? Come on now.
