Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

[Doc Hogaday]

Oh, shit, never mind.  Lane to Florida and Gruden to Ole Miss confirmed.

I realize this is sarcasm but Gruden straight to, and staying in, Florida makes much more sense.

Very possible. There aren't a ton of "home run hires" out there to be had. At least not any that seem overly plausible as it stands right now.

This sport has really had a lot of names from college and pro that have left the chat. A few may end up coming back but we'll just have to see. I think a guy like Pete Carroll as old as he is would be a good college coach still if he wanted to be.

I'm not convinced gruden will be a good college coach. Always wondered why everyone assumed he would be way back to our search and his red tie.

Grud Times!
Talkin' 'bout a touchdown,
Grud Times,
Keepin' rivals on the ground,
Grud Times,
Defense rockin' all night,
Grud Times,
Every game's a dogfight!

Hangin' in the red zone,
Watchin' them Gators groan,
Saturdays at the stadium,
Grud Times, we ain't fadin' 'em!

Ain't we lucky, playin' in the SEC,
Grud Times!

Field goal stress is just divine,
Grud Times,
Chasin' Bama every time,
Grud Times,
Takin' down those Tiger squads,
Grud Times,
Throwin' Hail Marys to the gods!

Down South, we know the way,
Tailgate starts at break of day,
Rivalries hotter than July,
Grud Times under southern skies!

Ain't we lucky, it's all about the SEC,
Grud Times!

I'm with you.

His return to the NFL seemed lackluster, always was overrated IMO.

It would be a splash hire with ripples dissipating before long.

That's an interesting angle I hadnt considered. With NIL in college now it looks more like pro ball, and coaches dont have dance the NCAA dance like they used to. Imagine Pete Carrol with a budget in SoCal back in the day. Oh, wait...bad example.

Gruden to Florida, with a giant NiL and staff budget would be fun to watch though.

Agreed, his terminology and system is too wordy for college athletes and the limited work week will be an issue too.

That's the 2003 Super Bowl Champion, Tampa Bay Bucs offensive line he's coaching there. Given the chance to coach college, I doubt he'd throw those same formation cadences at some 20 year olds.

He about skeeted himself when Ryan Mallett broke out a play call for him.

He'd probably leave the set and go murder Kendall Briles if he ever had to interview one of his QB's.

Gruden: "Tell me one of your favorite play calls and let's break it down."

QB: <stays silent and starts gesturing frantically>

Can you imagine Gruden doing one of those interviews with KJ?

Gruden:  KJ, look at this defense, and tell me what the middle linebacker is going to do if you move the X receiver in motion from left to right in a third and medium.

KJ (wearing candy stripe three piece suit):  I haz Corvette.

[buff2.0]

Might somehow be worse than "26!" 

[Guardrail]

It would go about like the one he had with Cam Newton, I'm guessing.

Gruden:"What kind of verbiage did you use at Auburn when calling plays?"

Cam: "36"

[DirkPiggler]

If the Hogs hire Gruden does that mean we all have to unsee Mrs. Duckman's tits?

[buff2.0]

Well that doesn't matter. I regret none of my actions regarding those.

[animal]

There is nothing saying he wouldn't be a good head coach at the college level. I think he was a bit washed as a pro head coach but his 2nd stint in Oakland was cut short.

I doubt he would make college kids learn his complex nomenclature the way he would a pro team. Gruden's offense is hardly dynamic by today's standards it's the method of communicating it that's hard.

I think he would probably be a better version of Mark Richt at the college level.

I pulled that video up and watched it again. Man, we lost a good one when we lost Ryan.

Well that doesn't matter. I regret none of my actions regarding those.

Bingo. I'd look at em again, too.

Thank you for that.

Can't unspill that seed.

[Thin Red Swine]

Can't unspill that seed.

Just remember, young man, it says in the Bible, it's better to spill your seed in the belly of a whore than on the ground.

Main thang is ... fuck it Treylon down there somewhere.
