Petrino to Florida?

Tennessee, maybe - unless they pull off the impossible and land Gruden.

Are there Vegas odds on that? NO WAY Gruden leaves the booth for that mess.

Petrino to Florida?

Maybe I'm wrong, but at this point I believe UL would be thrilled if he took a job elsewhere. Hard to believe there's an AD out there so desperate he'd hire Petrino.

The interesting thing about McElwain's firing is that it was with cause.

Why do you think that is? He has been pretty well behaved since coming back to U of L.

His record the last 10-12 games sits at about .500. Lesser teams are beating them. He's lost his mojo. It appears he struggles with his staff turnover. Dude is toxic to work for.

[Lighthouse]

He is doing very well at South Florida right now

And that could be a plus for him being considered.

Read somewhere yesterday that UT has a $10 million per year offer on the table to him. Still doubt it happens but they seem to be trying pretty hard.

Early rumors on UF and UT. Florida fans would LOVE to get Dan Mullen. They want him back badly. Rumor has it that UF may have contacted Willie Taggert at Oregon. UT fans are hoping to lure Frost from UCF. Not sure if that has any traction or not.

Here's what I read about Gruden
Arrogant
Not a player developer
Wins with the previous coaches players then nosedives.
Not particularly liked or respected by his assistants
Not a good eye for talent.

So UT can spend ten million a year for Gruden or buy Petrino out for five Mill and pay him about a mill and a half a year and have the same coach.

[SBCatMan]

Or they can go after Frost who is one of the hottest young coaches in the country, runs the old Chip Kelly Oregon offense and is highly coveted by Nebraska fans, where he is not likely to go.

I dunno. Gruden has been out of coaching altogether for ten years, out of college for what???twenty? More?
seems like pr boost for UT and ego boost for Gruden is all.
Could be wrong.

I would donate money for UT to hire Gruden! That would be a delicious disaster.

[Old School]

Gruden is not going to coach at Tennessee.

Bill Curry will be on their sideline before Gruden.

[KevinHall]

Gruden is this generations John Madden. He has won his championship,he's good in the booth and more than satisfied there. I would be shocked if he came out of the booth to coach again.
