I really have no interest in Gruden. Yeah, he would bring in recruits for a little while, but the guy has a pretty mediocre record. One Super Bowl, and then?
He's not quite as bad as Gene Chizik, but he definitely had a pretty steady decline after that one year. Out of the next six season, he never won another playoff game, and three of them were losing seasons as well.
So you get a good recruiting class or two until, at least if his history is a guide, it becomes clear that Florida is a mediocre team that occasionally has a pretty good season. Why would you want to play for that when you can go play for a Saban who has a big name AND delivers?
Then we end up back where we are right now, except we probably owe the coach a helluvalot more money to get him out of town.

Lucius...Im not a fan of the NFL at all or even a Gruden fan really...but the coaches in the NFL are hindered or helped by $$$$$ the owners pay for players or if they do soend money...they spend it wisely. HCs in the NFL do not distate who is drafted...teams have white collar stiff necks do all the research and the GM and the accountants do the drafting....so please don't point out Grudens record under cheapskate ownership of the Glazers.
A PRIME example of this is Dan Marino...who I considered one of the top 3 all time pro QBs to ever play....amd I watched Unitas, Tittle, Starr, Snead, Gabriel and guys like Bartowski.
Marino never had run game to help him and seldom had a defense...but he did have awesome WRS who were not that highly paid.
Gruden would have college QB under his wing develop into a winning QB and able to pick apart defenses.
