Gruden offered by Arkansas
LOL...has UT been scooped by Arkansas? I guess this will help shed light on whether he is interested in the college game.
http://www.todaysthv.com/news/articl...Razorbacks-job I heard it on local sports talk radio and I thought it was BS that Arkansas had made the offer...maybe not I am sure that he won't take it, but it is interesting and IMO a better environment to go into than at UT. |

Re: Gruden offered by Arkansas
Arky has more money to throw at their next HC than Tennessee does at this moment.
Tennessee's athletics budget has had a 'McGee' pulled on them. Their bottom line is gushing red. |

wow, that is an interesting read. It sounds like there is more than just a little smoke surrounding his return to coaching among the college ranks. I don't think that UT will be able to match Arkansas's desire to make him the highest paid coach in the SEC, but I guess there is some value to the family ties to UT. IT will be an interesting next few weeks. I wonder how long the universities will allow him to string them along before making a decision. Personally, I think that Arkansas is the easier job...they have more in state talent and are surrouned by several states that have tons of Division 1 talent. |

Re: Gruden offered by Arkansas
The guy won a super bowl people. Why in the hell would he demote himself to college coaching? It makes zero sense.

Re: Gruden offered by Arkansas
I don't understand the obsession with Jon Gruden...
He has a career regular season winning % of .540 and hasn't been on a college coaching staff since 1991. Why is everyone craving this guy?

Re: Gruden offered by Arkansas
There is not a more overrated coach in any sport. Somehow he made himself a brand which he has cashed in on.

Oh, and the argument about Gruden's NFL record can't be held against him and how that compares to Spurrier's NFL record might hold true if Gruden had ONLY coached under Al Davis...but he also coached the Bucs. So while Gruden's owner being Al Davis cancels out Spurrier's owner being Dan Snyder (both are / were owners that meddle far too much in the affairs of the team, reducing the ability of the coach to be successful) Gruden will always have that time in Tampa Bay that doesnt qualify as such. |

Re: Gruden offered by Arkansas
Tony Dungy left him a pretty good team in Tampa. You would think he would be a good college coach though, just because of the salesmanship factor.

Re: Gruden offered by Arkansas
If I was him I'd stay with MNF and the draft.

Re: Gruden offered by Arkansas
There is a very good chance Gruden will be the next Tennessee HFC.
He has no interest in Arkansas. |
