Auburn doesn't have as much money as Arkansas. Besides, its the hardest job in CFB. Nobody wants to go there.

Anyone can recruit now with NIL. I don't follow CFB close enough to know who is hot and up and coming these days but I think I could probably come up with a long list of better hires than Gruden. I think FLA /AUB/ARK need a good coach more than they need a media boost right now.

How come Auburn struck out for a good HC in the last few cycles of hiring HCs?

$50M but yes, point still stands. There’s no point in firing BK anyways. He’s a 9-10 win coach and with the playoff soon to be expanding, LSU will make the playoffs almost every year.

Napier sucks but I'm not sure Gruden is the answer. Also doesn't seem like a likely hire from our athletic department.

Who is your choice for next HC? No tricking, seriously wondering?

Why? He has more money than he can jump over. Why would he not just enjoy his life?

When Gruden got word that powerhouse closed down


Gruden seems too intelligent to hang out with a bunch of brainless roid ragers still living at Mommy's house

Your parents must be siblings. There’s no way LSU is paying him $60m to go away when they have to share $20.5m of revenue. He’s safe for a while. The world has changed. No more firing people on a whim.

Belichick and Gruden aren't comparable, and the former doesn't come with the latter's baggage.

Are you new to CFB? Coaching hires are a bit of a crap shoot.

If he finds out that Bottom's Up got bull dozed he wouldn't even come to the state if he was the opposing coach. We threw away our bargaining power.

So Florida’s coach was caught entertaining hookers with a university debit card ?

I just came here to rage at anyone saying, "Perfect fit for Tennessee when Huep goes to Oklahoma". Thanks for nothing.

Was it hookers or strippers? Either way, bad idea..never use a card doing something immoral when you coach at a major University.

Tell me exactly what corporate money supports UF athletics that has a bigger checkbook more than Wal Mart, Tyson Chicken, and a major trucking company (forgot the name) ? Did I mention Jerra sends millions to his alma mater? Florida ain't got Arkansas money.
