I still don't get why he was hired in the first place. That one blows my mind.
King Barry pulled some strings to get that done.

If you hire someone named Jim Bob Cooter, you deserve every loss you get.
I hope everyone has that mentality and he stays with the Lions a good long time

this all day. Jim Bob and Stafford work together really well. My hope is the Lions fire Caldwell to find a head coach that will improve the defense and manage the team and games better, and that the new guy just keeps Jim Bob and leaves Stafford and that offense alone. Running game has been meh but I think the running game will take care of itself if two things happen: they actually stay healthy upfront and they find a real life RB in F/A or the draft. Riddick is a great 3rd down back but he's not an every down between the tackles guy. Neither is Abdullah. Derrius Guice or Nick Chubb in the second round would be pretty nice.

I was just joking - I actually remember seeing him on UT's roster back in the 90s - and making fun of it then.

the Jon Gruden rumors are white hot. Big rumor coming from the UT internets is Gruden has called former coaches/players he's worked with and asked them if they'd join him if he takes the Tennessee job.

They should stop with the Gruden fantasies and go grab Cutcliffe and hire Tee Martin away from USC as the new OC and HC in waiting.

Stranger things have happened but Grimace to UT defies logic.Gruden would have to have a real chubby for a challenge.All the free time he had would be reduced to recruiting.He has enough coin that some more would hardly be worth the time demands

I think you have to really like recruiting and view it as competition to be a college coach. Not sure someone like Gruden would like to recruit. It's an extra grind that you don't have to deal with in the NFL, and honestly it's a huge pain in the ass. Begging pimple faced high school kids to pick you over Florida, Alabama, Georgia? He's never really done it before. If he ever came back to coaching, I think it'll be for an NFL gig.

Gruden made a quote a few months back about how if he coached in college he'd have the school on probation in a matter of weeks or months because of all the rules.

That right there would scare me out of even talking to him. Hell, he should have been slapped with a "show cause" then and there.

He probably sees recruiting as a big pain in the ass and a bunch of non-sense. can't say I blame him. A lot of the rules are just stupid.

IMO rules would be the least of the obstacles.The constant & chronic pandering/pampering until signing day would blow his circuit board

rumors circling out there that Gruden might be an option for.......the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Bucs according to Pro Football Talk. Crazy talk IMO. He's not going back to either team. Honestly, I'm 100% convinced these media guys don't know jack shit and all they are getting fed is BS by Gruden's agent to leak stuff to make him more money from ESPN or get him the highest dollar amount possible if he were to come back to coaching. It's ridiculous how every time jobs come open he's rumored to fill every single one of them....and he winds up taking none of them.
