If GRUDEN does take the job, how long is he going to get to win a national championship 1 or 2 years. Just saying, that is what most VOLS fans expect is going to happen and it just insn't going to. No matter who takes the job the very best is 4-5 years to get a SEC championship and that is only if the next coach can recruit. GRUDEN is a big name but can he go into a kids house and convince mom and dad he will be there to take care of their kids. If GRUDEN was to turn around a win or play for a national championship, he would bolt for a huge pro contract the following year. Just doesn't make a lot of sense to me for him to be interested in UT. GO VOLS>>>VFL

I think the fans who believe any coach, no matter how good, is going to take this team to the national championship in his second year are delusional. I do, however, think that Jon Gruden would have us relevant in 2 years. I think losing seasons would be a thing of the past. I think we would be able compete and win in the SEC again. I think another national title run would be a while in the making, but that's okay. Just get us off the bottom of the barrel and then we can worry about working our way up. Getting some solid wins and bringing in a little excitement will get the attention of the better recruits and we can start to build another great team. I really hope Gruden gets a shot at the job and takes it. I also hope that our administration is smart enough not to break the bank on him since there are still some questions as to just how good he will be as a college coach.
