CBS Comments on Gruden

Gruden, who could in the end opt to stay at ESPN, has tremendous leverage, and will have NFL opportunities as well, but according to league sources, as he has made calls identifying possible staff members, his focus has seemed more on the college game, asking questions about recruiting and issues that do not relate to pro football. Numerous sources who have talked to him in recent weeks came away with the impression that Gruden was more serious about return to coaching now than at any time since he left, although it also became clear that it still would have to be a perfect situation to lure him from his current job, where he is heavily compensated yet still gets to have a fairly normal lifestyle with his family (as opposed to his maniacal approach to coaching nearly round-the-clock).

 

If it looks like a duck, smells like a duck, walks and quacks like a duck.............

 

It begins

 

Justin, What percentage for Ark. or UT to land Gruden?

 

Tenny D, your media predictions are coming along as scheduled. You sir are a prophet.

Ark - 0
Tennessee - 100

 

With our luck I bet he goes to Arky....fml

 

I remember you being spot on with Kiffin so I'm going to go with you.

 

Arkansas - .00001

Tennessee - 99.99999

 

Serious? Have you paid no attention to what the folks in the know are saying?

All this has been expected for some time now, just have faith, patience, sit back, relax and enjoy the 2:00pm press conference.

 

Nothing is 100%. Nothing.

 

Not until he's at the podium

 

I've been paying attention but ive seen a lot of speculation after confirmation that the deal was done. Just has me worried. And i'm afraid Hart won't pay the necessary amount for agruden

 

What would keep him from the podium?

 

I rounded up

 

Hart's not driving the bus

 

Which can't happen soon enough.

Hart going really easy on dooley right now, blech.

 

Hart just said that basically money will not stop a hire.

 

Hart: Coaching search committee will not be used.
