What is up with the Gruden obsession....Seriously, can someone explain this to me?

Also, he is an NFL coach, meaning if he did come to UT, he would leave in 2 or 3 years for the right NFL job.....on top of that....What makes him so attractive as a college coach?

1. His visibility on TV alone will make him a stellar recruiter. Just look at the articles about how HS recruits think of this. BTW, recruiting is the most important factor at UT.

2. College players can trust that Gruden knows what it takes to get to the league.

3. He has won a championship at the highest level of football, Dungy's team or not.

4. He is considered extremely well connected and would likely get the best assistant coaches.

5. He has the "it" factor, something Dooley did not.

In summary, for the most part, he would unite the UT fan base.
