He was mentioned in 2008 right before Tampa fired him iirc. Certainly not as much as 2012 and 2017 though

I honestly bet if you asked people who want Gruden at Tennessee that 80% of them couldn't tell you whether he is an offensive or defensive coach, and 90% couldn't tell you what his style/calling card is on offense.
This aura has been created with all the TV stuff and his personality and it's really been a long time since he won that Super Bowl (which was kind of the last big thing they did in Tampa) in 2002 (he went 45-51 from 2003 to 2008). A lot of people under 30 just honestly don't have much recollection of him as a football coach. He hasn't coached in 9 years and he hasn't been in the limelight as a coach since 2002, really. That's a long arse time.

Yeah, the Gruden rumors are probably primarily fan driven.
If the administration is actually considering Gruden, I think it represents a real lack of seriousness on their part.
Gruden hasn't been a head coach in nearly 10 years, and he hasn't be in the college coaching ranks in over 25 years. Why on earth would a university find him to be an attractive candidate?

What's the obsession with Gruden? He hasn't coached at the college level since 1991. He hasn't coached a game at all since 2008. Where's the assurance that he could be a good coach at the college level?

He also hasn't been involved with a college program since he was a TE coach for Pacific 29 years ago. Coaching an NFL team and a college team are two entirely different things. He has no relevant experience coaching college football, much less running a program.
And to parlay off that, why the hell would he want that responsibility when he makes double that working 18 games a year? I surely wouldn't trade a seasonal part-time job to work 80 hour weeks year round for less money.

"Rumors swirling all over the place." 
Just like every time the Texas job opens up, there are rumors swirling everywhere that Nick Saban will be their next coach?

“Gruden only coached in the NFL. How can we expect him to succeed at a lower, easier, level?”

Why would Gruden go to Tennessee? He hasn't coached football at any level in 137 years and has been doing nothing but jerking off to Southern Living magazines since then.
Also, he only won one (1) Super Bowl at Tampa Bay! LMAO not that big of an accomplishment.

Succeeding in college isn't easier. You have to recruit constantly, in Tennessee and a few other states where there is less talent.
There's far more parity in the NFL and most teams stand a chance. Very few teams in college football stand a chance of a championship.

And he gets paid $19 Million per year to do so.

So in other words, an NFL schedule is tougher than a college schedule because literally any team could beat you?
Thanks for illustrating the point
