Anyone catch Jason La Canfora on NFL Today?

  • He said something along the lines of Gruden has been studying the Oregon spread offense and is really eyeing a return to coaching in the college game.

  • Sounds like he is getting his defense ready for our trip next year.

  • He is not going to Arkansas like Bruce Feldman said I would be really shocked if he went there

  • If we did get outbid by Arkansas there would be a fan revolt and deservedly so. Money cannot be an object in this hire. Period.

    I meant in reference to the offense he would run. Looks like he's been studying the Oregon offense.

  • Hi guys visitor from Hawgs247... just wanna say good luck with yalls hire and for the sake of college football I hope we don't end up in a bidding war lol we do that and Gruden gets paid 7 mil its going to cause a paradigm shift in coaching salaries I believe... I think most of us Arkansas fans think Ar is a better job because of the NCAA probs at UT and because our fan base is our entire state... no legit other d1 schools or any pro teams.... and I'd bet y'all think UT is a better job because hey its Arkansas perennial doormat of SEC excluding a few years.... its crazy to me that both schools have a legit shot to land him... anyways best of luck until we play lol

    Honestly Arkansas is probably being used as leverage against TN. Most national sports writers think its TN or NFL for Gruden. We'll see.

    I thought Patterson and Gundy were the hot names at Arky?

    They are most want Gundy... Gruden wasn't being mentioned at all for a while up until this past week... supposedly Arkansas and Gruden are very serious and "much more serious than any of us anticipated" so Idk well see.... it seems like we are going to get a good coach one way or another.... Jeff Long took Gundy and Patterson to the BOTs and got approval and then Gruden agent called... rumors in Arkansas is that y'all are going to get Pefrino because "he wins wherever he goes" and would be cheap... but I think all the Gruden talk may be a smokescreen to take pressure of Gundy and/or Patterson... Idk well see

    I think we all would be surprised if he ended up at TN (Petrino).

    Yeah I would be too... Great coach though... and recruiting wouldn't fall off he and Dooley were both average recruiters but Petrino can win at a high level with 3 stars
