But he learned the strains of the college game. In pro sports, it's all about that sport. That's what all of the time is spent on. In college, kids have classes to attend. The NCAA limits the number of hours that can be spent in practice. There is a HUGE difference....not to mention, in bball, the NBA game and the college game are two very different games


Yeah, so tell me what all Gruden learned as a grad assistant back in 1986 that he would have been able to apply to his college coaching philosophy in 2012.

How to run a practice. How the staff prepares practices/time teaching the players. How recruiting is handled. How the staff handles their different responsibilities. When you have been on a college staff, in any capacity, you learn how things at the college level work. When you have never been on a college staff, you have to have somebody else teach you how it works. Like I said earlier, it may be a great hire. IF Auburn had hired AJ, I would have some serious reservations about it. It is just as likely it will be a huge failure as it is that it will be a huge success.
