Gauging where the fanbase is at on Jon Gruden

[bulloni]

Whether or not he's a realistic candidate, it seems like there is enough smoke around him that there is some interest from one party.

Given how complicated his history is and his ties to this area I figured it would be interesting to see where the fanbase is at on him.

Appreciate the inquiry but I cannot even fathom the thought of him being seriously in the running.

It would be a weird choice.

He would have to do a lot of damage control and even that might not be enough.  Definitely would make things interesting and give us national attention.  Maybe not the attention we need.  He's a workaholic and doesn't need the money so we'd probably have him for a while.  As far as public opinion, I think it will be split about 50/50.  Winning changes a lot of opinions, though.

I can not imagine any scenario where this would work - it has been 30 years since Gruden has been involved with any college program

upon reconsideration if we can get him cheap lock him in for 5 years take him

This is the big thing I am wondering about - as in controversies aside would this even work as a concept?  If Jim Leavitt would come back as DC I would probably be okay with about anyone (lulz).

im ok with this

leavitt should be the first person inducted in usf's ring of honor in their new ocs

I can not fathom a place where anyone would allow a Gruden hire.  This is idiotic.  If forgiveness is in the cards, then forgive Leavitt.

Agreed.  By the way, how crazy would it be to hire Gruden and take all that heat from people and leave Leavitt twisting in the wind (over a "controversy" that few remember)?  Gruden seems like the opposite of a person that would want to deal with a bunch of college kids, recruiting, and social media hype.  I don't know.
