Call me crazy but maybe Gruden didn't want to work for/with Currie no matter how much you paid him.
That's entirely possible,and after seeing the debacle today, I wouldn't blame him. It's also possible that the 300 reports from almost every single member of the media who actually cover this and the NFL were actually right when they said he wasn't truly interested in a college job this time.
I believe we fired our shot at him and he said no. We had crappy back up plans if that happened. I believe that's why some were so confident, that we were making such an offer that no one would say no. But Gruden is rich enough to not be swayed just by money.
Heck, I hope at this point he feels so sorry for Vol Nation he changes his mind and asks for the job.
