Wouldnt Hiring Gruden be like hiring Lane again in some ways?

[orangetaz]

I mean he was an NFL coach,and to go down to college to most is a step down.Wouldnt you be afraid that he would get offered his dream job,and leave

 

[VOLnMiami]

No....Not at all...Gruden has love for UT..Lane didn't

 

[LazhilUT]

Even if that were the case, Gruden would leave us with a staff in place and would help us with a transition...but I'd take Lane back...

 

[huntin4bear]

No....Not at all...Gruden has love for UT..Lane didn't

Gruden has no love, allegiance or ties to UT other than his wife! Where in the hell do you people come up with this sh**!

 

[lovavol]

No he isn't slimey like lil kiffy

Actually he said he loves Tennessee. So maybe you should stop being a prick and look stuff up before you call someone out.

Here's a great idea, let's create a new thread everytime we mention Gruden. That'll work!

No

Yes...I think that's exactly what would happen. I've told people this for months. I think he would use UT as a stepping stone, just like kidding did. I like Gruden's hard nosed approach, I just don't see him happy with the college game. Jmo!

 

[SGMVols]

Gruden has already won the Super Bowl so I'm not sure what else he could accomplish in the NFL that he hasn't done before. And he wouldn't leave UT for another college job. He could become the 3rd coach in history to win both a Super Bowl and a national championship if he comes to UT and does well.

because this forum is for Tennessee Coaching Rumors and Speculation

anything about Gruden is speculation

 

[phantomvol]

after N Dame beats kiffin's azz saturday ,he might be looking for work along with CDD

 

[Vol4life25]

Even if that were the case, Gruden would leave us with a staff in place and would help us with a transition...but I'd take Lane back...

Have you seen his record at USC this year?


USC almost has a worse record then us.
(And they have 10x better talent on Defense, and a much easier SCD.)

And dont forget all the cheating and lieing he does.

I would take take Dooley over Lane anyday there both bad coaches, but atleast Dooley runs a straight program.

According to this, I'd say Gruden thinks a lot of UT and Knoxville.

Gruden's Guide to Knoxville - YouTube

Also find it strange that this was the only commercial in the series he did on a college town with a college team.

Just ban women from starting threads. Would save a lot of trouble.

 

[branchvol]

Well, I'd like to give gruden a try at helm but I do have some reservations. But I'd rather have Phil back before kiffin, gee to want kiffin back u musta been dropped out of a stupid tree & hit every branch on way down. Come on man

Jon Gruden does not need a stepping stone. Jon Gruden is not Lane Kiffin 4 years ago.

WOW...just...WOW. Not only ignorance but aggressive ignorance. Somebody post that video of him this past spring discussing his love of Tennessee.

The stepping stone talk is equally ridiculous. The man has had his choice of any open job for the past 5 years college OR nfl. If he decides to come to Tennessee it is because he wants to be here. He could take a number of NFL jobs THIS year, if he chooses Tennessee over those jobs then he is coming to be a legend and create his legacy, get a street named after him etc...

I'm not sure I believe he's coming yet or not, but if he DOES come then these are not valid concerns whatsoever. If he comes, enjoy it, revel in it.

Gruden has said the only college jobs he would even consider are Tennessee and Notre Dame...He has always spoken highly about UT...Not sure where you get your info.
