When was the last time Gruden coached in college? Was he really successful in college before his pro days? I've never understood why everyone is convinced he's such a proven slam dunk in the college game.


If a coach is good enough to win a Super Bowl, he's more than good enough to win a national title, as long as he can recruit.

Gruden has personality and cred. I'm sure that alone would make him a good recruiter.

I've talked to a few people who have coached in both, and player management, parents, NCAA rules, blah blah are all very different. Obviously, recruiting would be good for the first couple of years, but past that, he'll have to prove himself in the league. I was just curious if he'd actually done that, because college and NFL don't always translate. Obviously, sometimes they do, but it's definitely not anything that's a foregone conclusion.
