If Miami wants to get to the next level, stay as far away from Gruden as possible. They'd do better hiring Lou Holtz than Gruden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Wow. Definitely didn't see that one coming, if true.If he does go down there, one thing will be for certain, and oddball just alluded to it: the Hurricanes may well end up with about sixteen quarterbacks on their roster.(Also, how's Chucky's love of veterans going to mesh with a bunch of kids???) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Gruden isn't going to take a college gig when there will be quite a few NFL gigs to choose from. It's just rumor mill BS to give the talking heads something to shriek about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the record, Gruden is a color analyst. It's not exactly the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 So Jon Gruden's QB camp before the draft wasn't about him and his coaching ability? Jon Gruden talks about himself in subtle ways. Grant you he's not Joe Morgan, but if you listen to him enough, it becomes the Jon Gruden show. That's what Monday Night Football is, Jon Gruden's way of showing that he's a good coach by talking about football and trying to prove to a foolish person out there to hire him for a head coaching job. Why did he take the Monday Night Football job over a studio analyst role? Simple. He gets 3 hours of air time plus the lead in and post game, plus whatever other little segment they have for Monday Night Football. Jon Gruden doesn't care about anything but Jon Gruden and how he can get his name out there in the spotlight. He's a Brett Favre light, which is interesting because without Brett Favre, where would Jon Gruden really be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I still think the likeliest scenario is Gruden staying put. I don't see any football program or franchise putting together enough of a package to get him out of the booth. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Why in hell would Gruden take a college gig when he can get twice as much cash in the NFL and not have to deal with recruiting, an eroding program with an apathetic fanbase, a terrible athletic department, and 17,000 pages of NCAA regulations?Even if it's announced that Gruden takes the job, I still won't believe it.

Gary Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I say Jay Gruden has a better chance going to the U than John Gruden. There are so many more NFL teams that will be looking for a great coach and I just can't see him going to the NCAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Personally, I'd rather Chucky stay on TV. He has a way of explaining things that makes it easier for common folk--okay, me--to understand, which I can appreciate. And plus...he doesn't need to be wrecking any more NFL rosters (which he has a penchant for doing). *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Before the MNF segment this morning on Sportscenter, they mentioned it was all rumors, and he was staying put with the MNF crew.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Looks like ESPN MNF's analyst Jon Gruden could be The University of Miami's next head coach...I've always thought he'd be a better college head coach rather than in the pros.I don't like the guy, but he won a freaking Super Bowl. And if we say that he did it with Tony Dungy's players, then Gruden gets some measure of credit for the Oakland Raider team that he played in that game.In eleven seasons, he won his division five times. His career totals aren't spectacular, but he has a winning record, and with two franchises which have been very very bad before and after he left. Hall of Famer? No. But hardly a slouch. If he would be a better college coach, his school should be in the BCS every year. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
