Bivolar - Vol in Orlando - agree with you most of the time but let's analyze this just for a second. I was a season ticket holder for the Bucs in 2004-2007 - there was a lot of hype after Gruden won the Super Bowl in 2002 and everyone went nuts down here. He did come in here and added a few sparks to Tony Dungy's offense to win that year but let's remember how they won....defense - and the million dollar question is... who was the d-coordinator that anchored the fierce Tampa 2 for close to 15 years - you got - none other than Lane Kiffin's daddy. When word spread that the old man might join his son at first Oakland then at the college ranks the Bucs started to deteriorate and eventually Gruden was fired. Not because of only the defense maybe getting dismantled but Gruden had a 500 record, one playoff wild card game after the superbowl victory and it was a loss to the Redskins, but also there were bad decisions made at the quarterback position - which he is the master of. This is who Gruden signed after Brad Johnson (try not to laugh). Griese - 2004, Simms 2005 - Gradkowski - 2006, Garcia - 2007 - this is what ultimately brought him down and got him fired and I doubt if the old man will be coming back to join him anytime soon. I like Jon Gruden. I have met Jon Gruden. I am just not sure he would be a good fit at Tennessee, but if hired I will embrace him!! Food for thought!! Go VOLS!!
Valid points, but let's not forget the Tampa 2 had lost a lot of important pieces along the way. Also, UT doesn't have to play Bama every week. That's kind of what the NFL is like, playing good talent every Sunday. At any rate it appears JG is the man so embrace him we should..GBO!!
