Gruden to Miami ? (1 Viewer)

On 680 The Fan Radio Station in Atlanta today, Mort was on there and they asked about this. He said that he doesn't lose sleep about this possible story about his co-anchor taking a head coaching job (pretty much said it was no big deal to him), but he did say that "The main way to get someone like Jerry Jones' attention is to keep your name relevant.".
At the end of the call he said there is no way Gruden is taking this job. He also thinks since his son is in his final year of high school (I guess he'd like to see his games on Friday Night rather than work), he will continue with ESPN's Monday Night gig and then come back after he graduates.

I prefer the Tuberville possibility over Mike Leach. Was not confident with Gruden at all. Life long Cane fan.

I'm sitting here in the UM library, nothing is for sure yet.
Life long Canefan, future alum, not real sure Gruden can do it at the college level, however if his brother is brought on as the OC it might work.
Word on the books here is that Gruden was bickering about money for the assistants. He wants to hire some of the higher priced assistants and the university is out of money after his salary demands...word on the books here.

``Gruden was cordial, he listened to everything UM had to say but no offer was made. He said he didn't want to go further because he is keeping all his options open, including the NFL.
``He didn't say yes. He didn't say no. But in effect, it's probably a no because it will take months before the NFL jobs come open and UM can't wait that long.''

I hope it is true for the exact opposite reason.

Gruden could be using the Miami job as leverage. It's hard to imagine he could pass on ND and then go to Miami the next year.
Miami is going to look bad again because there really aren't a lot of sparkling candidates. Dan Mullen who went 13-15 in 2 years at Miss St? Is that the big splash? Just hire Leavitt now and get it over with.

Have you ever been to South Bend? It's a little different than South Beach

I've only seen South Bend thru the movie Rudy, looked alright. I live a stone's throw from the other, it's not bad.

Mullen stated today in a Mississippi paper that he has not been contacted and is not interested. He actually was 13-11 in 2 years, not 13-15. More impressive than you may think given how wretched the team was he took over. Last game of 2007, Ole Miss beat them 45-0. This year 8 total wins and 4 Sec wins. Auburn beat them by 3 . Arkansas beat them by 7 in double ot. Paper stated MSU preparing extension offer and will match anything Miami offers. SEC payday from 10 bowls in serious money, even for the bottom dwellers.Ministry of Pain said:
There's a greater chance Gruden ends up coaching the Dolphins in 2012 than the Canes in 2011. UM doesn't want a coach with baggage (Leavitt and Leach), now that Shannon's cleaned up the program. So that leaves guys like Mullen (who will get a nice raise either way), Randy Edsall (Conn), and Greg Schiano, who nobody in the local media is mentioning. Schiano has the recruiting edge over anyone - he brought Britt, Ray Rice and a bunch of other future NFL draft picks to a school with no recent football tradition. But he turned the Canes down 4 years ago, so maybe he won't be considered.

I actually lived in South Bend from 06' to 09' and about 5 minutes from the HS that Gruden went to. The fact that he is from South Bend is the only reason I could see him wanting that job, which IMO is one of the most overrated in the country. It is a somewhat depressing area to live in.But anyways, I don't see him taking the Miami job either and apparently he won't.Ministry of Pain said:The Real Hipster Doofus said:I've only seen South Bend thru the movie Rudy, looked alright.

I think Greg Schiano has his eye on Penn State...but another year like this one and the shine might be off the pumpkin, he needs Joe Pa to retire now.
Schiano??? Come on...I'm a lifelong Rutgers fan, but he might be sent packing at RU if they have another season like this. And deservedly so.
