A little too early for some red wine, don’t you think. Or a little too late. I dunno

All rival coaches tell recruits that Gruden secretly uses the n word freely behind their backs and has for years. Check.

Where is there evidence that gruden has ever had interest in a college gig. Tennessee went wild with speculation but it never happened

well with the nfl hating the flag and gruden, he might not have a choice..if he wants to coach football.
and we are talking doing better then 3-9...so it's not like there's colossal pressure to win a NC off the bat.

And he keeps Mickey and Mickey tells them it’s BS. Love Gruden but he’s never coming here. Those emails were nothing more than Gruden talking like guys joke around in the locker room. No doubt he’s had worse things said about his cracker *** to his face by black colleagues and players

Notre Dame offered Gruden the keys to the kingdom and he didn't even consider it. Not a college guy.

These dummies were convinced for 20 years that Bill cowher would coach college. He still might!

The only guys you've got going from the pros to college are damaged goods. I guess gruden checks that box.

Racist, check. Right or wrong we do not need that baggage.

Careless racist language and possibly a real racist. Check
Mostly mediocre NFL record. Check
No college head coaching experience. Check
Agree. This would be a Callahan 2.0 and a very bad PR move for Nebraska. I would bet the house that Trev/Boosters/Chancellors won't hire anything less than a proven P5 head coach.

Although I think Gruden is a good coach, I can't see him ever being hired at Nebraska. Along with the PR nightmare in this day and age - we need a proven P5 coach.

What happened to Gruden is total ******** and I question how many people's old private convo's and text messages and emails would stand up to public consumption now.....but the fact is his own words would be used against him in CFB forever and good luck winning that recruiting battle for a coveted minority who has options. Hard. Pass.

Exactly. And how reckless of him in this day and age of zero tolerance for using the "N" word to be using it even in private correspondence.
