    Why is it a foregone conclusion Gruden will be a successful college coach, at TN no less? Not even mentioning the recruiting aspect...

    I would be very nervous about us hiring someone who had never been a college coach and hadn't coached in nearly 10 years.

    Not only that, but someone who has stated on the record that he'd be a lazy recruiter and probably have a team on probation in no time. I know he was joking, but a college coach really needs that desire and work ethic...and needs to be able to put up with that 17 and 18 year old recruiting drama. He just doesn't seem like the type to me.

    Cause I think he'll sign top 5 QBs every year just by getting outta bed. The Gruden Elite QB thing he's been doing during SportsCenter the last five years is going to pay off big time for him. Once you got elite QBs signing up the elite WRs come too.

    Gruden was fired at TB...and he won a SB with Tony Dungys team... so, he is not Belichik or anything close

    also, he offenses were boring at TB, but you could argue that his defense made risk unnecessary
