That is absurd. But if Gruden is who you really want, that’s about what he’s gonna require. Freaking jacking up the market.

Doesn’t saban have a clause that requires he be the highest paid coach in the country? I could be dreaming this

Help me understand the allure of gruden. He hasnt coached in 10 years, a time period where football has evolved more than in the 100 years prior. He hasnt coached college in nearly 30 years. He is a pro style guy. And no recruits really know who he is.

But hey, if that keeps currie out of stark then go for it

First part I sorta agree with, but I assure you recruits know who he is. Gruden qb camp and MNF are kinda a big deal

Assuming that demo even watches mnf then they know he is an announcer. Maybe they do but the whole thing just seems stuck in 2009

I think sec message board posters think recruits care more about college than pro bc posters do. I seriously doubt that is the case... college is just a step to get to the pros for most big time recruits. In no way am I saying recruits would follow gruden... just saying they absolutely know who he is

The blue chippers want to play for those who can help them get to the pros. Thats why every college facility I’ve been in displays their “alumni” very prominently.

His wife is an alum I think, and they have a house out there.

Hmm okay. I just thought there might be more of a connection as much as they talk about him. I doubt Gruden would take the job. If he wanted to coach again, I'm sure he would have a coaching job right now.

Saban does not make 11 million a year. He makes 7-8. His number is only 11 million this year because of a signing bonus just for this year

Wonder how much gruden makes from espn, corona, and the tire company combined. Obviously he’d have to give up the corona endorsement if he becomes tenn coach.

I would love to see them hire Gruden because I don't think he will be successful there. The meltdown on ole Rocky Top in 3-4 years would be magnificent to watch.
