Re: Take Gruden off your list...

i dont know if that necessarily means anything, I wouldnt doubt he has some clause built in that if a job he wants happens to arise, he can void the remainder of his contract with ESPN or something like that

Re: Take Gruden off your list...

hmmm. no details on the contract, but i wonder if he breaks it to go into coaching if ESPN doesn't have to pay him. if that's the case, some one could make him an offer he can't refuse.

but he must realize that being in the booth on monday night is much easier. he still is involved, his analysis, in my opinion, is very good and thoughtful. he shows that he watches the teams prior to the games and knows players pretty well. I like him in the booth. And he's kind of funny in a jock kinda way.

Plus he could find himself with a madden type game once madden passes away which means super big bucks. and he doesn't get ripped apart for bad decisions. It's not a bad life.

I'd take the booth over coaching.

He for sure has an out clause. It might also be a move that could help him with financial negotiations

Gruden's got nothing left to prove.

Why would anyone leave a cushy booth job for this mess?

Id take a FO Consulting job over both.

Well yeah, but if it came down to coaching or the booth. I'd take the booth; though, I might take Scouting Director over all of them.

He's Notre Dame's next head coach when they fire the slob Weiss.

We'll see, right now Brian Kelly is the leading candidate being thrown around, with Jim Harbaugh's name being thrown around.

Notre Dame is going to make a run at a big name coach no doubt about it. They can afford any buy out any coach in the country has as they have a multi-BILLION dollar endowment fund. And no Im not kidding about that.
