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

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.

Brian Battie's dad responding to someone saying Gruden's off the field stuff wouldn't matter. Sounds like it would absolutely rule us out for a lot of kids

Wow, guess that settles that. That's not just any kid, Battie is arguably the best offensive player on our team, and if he isn't #1 he's definitely #2.

Whether or not fans agree that Gruden's baggage is warranted or not, Battie's Dad statement merits huge consideration.

Gruden's baggage is such that he simply "isn't the right fit" for the program. Remember, this is a guy who doesn't "deal well" with rookies, and in college that's all you have. Gruden's forte is working with seasoned players operating at the highest level. Like it or not, there's an expectation that you're molding these players to be responsible men (now, let's take a look at this email business, shall we).  Here, you have to get in the car, drive down to Lee County to sit with mom and dad, then head over to Indian River to sit with mom and dad, then swing back through Polk County to sit with yet another mom and dad. You're a salesman in addition to x-ing and o-ing.  Although the title of "head football coach" exists in both the NFL & NCAA, the positions, and expectations, are indeed quite different. You can be a huge success in one and still be marginally qualified (and ultimately unsuccessful) in the other. Thank you for your interest, Mr. Gruden and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. The receptionist can validate your parking. 😑

Even before his controversy, Gruden was a bum.

Won a SB with Dungy's team and ran the franchise into the ground after that. If some unlucky pro team wants to bring him in, go right ahead. He would be a disaster in college and I would never want him at USF.

Hope not serious?  You think he doesn't know what's going on with all these candidates?

Uhh not serious. I actually think he’s a pretty intelligent guy. I don’t think he would entertain the idea of hiring him.

Wow made it on Sports Illustrated, it’s been a minute since USF had any sort of national spotlight.

Look y’all this isn’t happening. Never would fly at a modern University! Let’s just take a breath and exhale - and say I’ve let it go…

Honestly, USF needs to roll with this for the media attention that it is creating. Not that we would actually hire him, but don't shut it down and let the grumors swirl!

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
