LOL! One of the upsides of finding a new coach is reading the speculation that is nothing less than comic gold. This thread has had my wife wondering if I've lost my mind laughing so hard reading this stuff.

I'd love it but don't even think it will happen with Chuckie. But I would love to see the faces up here in Vile Country if that did happen. It would be a complete meltdown and you'd think that Smokey just died. They are so trying to believe in B!tch Jones its almost laughable. Their shatting the bed hoping that they beat Vandy this weekend.

I have my concerns about Gruden. First, he never wanted a young QB in all his years with the Bucs. He always brought in old washed up QBs. Imagine him trying to work with a college (redshirt) freshman, he might go insane. Also, his play calls were like 57 words long. Imagine a (redshirt) freshman QB trying to relay that to the team, overly experienced NFL QBs had a hard time with that. The wrist play book would have to be an entire arm play book. Other than that I'm on board. Dudes been offered so many NFL jobs that if he wanted to coach in the NFL he wouldn't have to make a pit stop in college first. I enjoy some wild speculation!

I wouldn't entirely dismiss the notion of Gruden going to UF. It's beyond rumor that he wants back in coaching. He's got two sons in high school in Tampa. The UF job would afford him to keep them in school and take over a premier college program that he's long held in high esteem.
As for whether he'd be successful in the college ranks, that's hard to say. He's a poor man's Spurrier, a guy who specializes in tutoring quarterbacks (including yelling at them) and scheming the offense. We'd likely be running the west coast, which leaves me a bit meh. At the very least, it'd shake up recruiting in the state.

By the way ... it is common practice to send out multiple offers with the stipulation that they expire on a certain date or many other different arrangements. This has happened in the past for Foley's searches ... and is one of the reasons why Urbz came back so quick from his Saban induced panic attack (which is another story). However ... just like last search, think of Gruden as more of a confidant or adviser ... not a coaching prospect. And .. Foley hasn't been to Tampa during the last week or so. Take that for what it is worth.

You're a joke. The world is laughing at you.
Have you considered doing a youtube video?

No way Gruden can be the man. As a HC he has a 54% winning record.
This is a smoke screen keeping attention away from who is actually being
negotiated with. Expect the announcement by next Tuesday afternoon. I
think the one chosen will surprised everyone.
