I say no.

Is there any evidence at all to think this would be a good hire? Gruden hasn't coached in ages; he hasn't coached college in an even longer period.

No way. How much is he making from MNF / his QB Camp show / and everything else?

 

He likely has zero stress with what he is currently doing and making just as much money as if he were coaching.

This. And he doesn't have to try and convince high school kids to move to Knoxville, Tennessee.

NO WAY. He has a dream job and vacations. No vacations for college coaches.

He has said "Never Say Never" about him coaching Tennessee

People in Knoxville are always WAY too optimistic about their chances to land a big name coach. The reality is Tennessee isn't nearly the job those in Knoxville believe it to be. You can't build a great recruiting class with in State talent and with Clemson and Georgia recruiting the hell out of that area you are fighting an uphill battle. Gruden isn't coming. Good luck to the coach who does land in Knoxville though, he's going to need it.

Crazy move, he makes a ton of money to do very little.

[dognation2]

He did say never say never to coaching...his wife's a UT grad and I think one of his children attends UT as well......hmmmmm

There are retired people who work harder than Jon Gruden does in his current job. He's got it made.

Im saying, no way too. I would be shocked if he would take that position if offered.

Not saying he has to work hard, but everything I have read is he is one of the hardest workers out there. When not on the road, he is in his office every morning by 4am and puts in 12 hours studying tape.

You are correct. Gruden does still work hard, but like you said he doesn't really have to.
