There are plenty of coaches/offenses that have had success between the 20s but ultimately it's W/L and he didn't get it done.

After he was done in NFL..

"He was never known as a coach who logged long hours, like all the others. He was so sure of his playbook, that he never really adjusted or modernized his already-modern offense after defenses caught up. Nobody except the 49ers offered him a job last season -- only a few years after he was the most sought after coach in football. "Chip?" said a grinning NFL coach when we discussed him last year. "He's a good story."

Chip would , without question, be upgrade over Butch and I welcome thatand would be happy. But IMO he's not the "HR" hire.

I like to hear that he thinks that highly of his playbook and he isn't going to work hard.


No real D.C. In his right mind would work for him.

Must bring the bad too. This guy has been positive of Gruden to it.

I hate to bring this, but I was just told.

My sources have said

"That Gruden has passed on the head coaching job at Tennessee. TIFWIW. They may be wrong but I have seen the text messages with my own eyes that we are out for him. Hopefully that info is wrong but I don't think so. Sorry to be the one to bring bad news on this."

Hopefully this is just trying to keep stories in check until people are ready to move forward. I'll check with another source and see what he says.

The key for me is they both were very successful with a spread based with Pace. Maybe the details were different but the main thing is they tried to run plays as quickly as possible. That trend is dying all over the country now and GM is now winning with elite defense. I can't see Kelly doing that.

Yeah I get that that is an easy dot to connect.


I was just commenting that there are some other key factors that keep that differentiate the two. I don’t think that both having success with fast paced offenses makes them “the same guy,” as you said.

Saying they are the same guy isn't the best way to say it. I think they both are the best at their high paced craft in the entire world. Nobody else can X/O that style as good as them.

Hope that makes some sense

I was getting ready to bring that very here too. The poster Cparker seems to know something.

You guys think Currie is still on his "fire and hire within 48 hrs" plan, or did the early termination force a change of plans?

Well to stay with negative posts. Pete knows Currie very well. Would be very disappointed if any is true.

Florida and Tennessee jobs are open; here are the top candidates

So who is realistic at Tennessee? Anyone who mentions Jon Gruden in any capacity should be charged with journalistic negligence. The best window into how Currie thinks may be to study his last major search at Kansas State. Currie hired Bruce Weber, a generally successful and solid X’s-and-O’s coach who’d been fired at Illinois.
Weber wasn’t a splashy hire, but Currie wanted a coach who wouldn’t be overmatched or intimidated looking down the sideline at veteran coaches like Bob Huggins, Bill Self or Rick Barnes. Who fits the category of not being afraid to stare down Nick Saban? Well, it’s a short list. Let’s start by crossing off Iowa State’s Matt Campbell ($9 million) and Virginia Tech’s Justin Fuente ($6 million) because of the size of their buyouts. Neither appear eager to leave, either.
The first grouping that should be considered are veteran, successful coaches that fit the mold of Weber. TCU’s Gary Patterson, Utah’s Kyle Whittingham and Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano all have enough experience. All would need a detailed offensive plan, as none bring expertise on that side of the ball. Washington State’s Mike Leach falls into this category as well, but would the straight-laced Currie welcome the relentless quirkiness of Leach? That feels like an unlikely pairing.
As for sound younger coaches, Purdue’s Jeff Brohm and Memphis’ Mike Norvell would be the best fits. Brohm’s buyout is $4 million after Dec. 5 and he has the offensive acumen that’s been desperately missing in Knoxville for the past decade. Norvell has Memphis on track for the AAC title game, and his wide-open offense would be a salve to the dreary units Tennessee has trotted out in recent years.
As has been proven on the field for the past decade, Florida is well ahead of Tennessee. And in their
