Jon Gruden has reportedly been offered $10 million a year to be the next coach of the Tennessee Volunteers football team.
The Read Optional reported, “Tennessee has offered over $10 million a year to Jon Gruden. The rest of the name’s on the school’s list currently matches Florida’s — Tennessee’s list also includes Gary Patterson (TCU), Bobby Petrino (Louisville) and Jeff Brohm (Purdue).”
It looks like it all might be coming together down in Tennessee. Current head coach Butch Jones is laughably bad at his job. I’m pretty sure I could design and call a better game after a case of Miller Lite than that clown could on his best day.
There have long been rumors and speculation that Gruden would someday return to the sidelines. Admittedly, I didn’t always buy it. I thought there was a very low chance he’d ever put on a headset and coach again. That could still very easily be how this all plays out.
However, at this point in time there are plenty of reasons to believe the Jon Gruden to Tennessee rumors are more than just football fans rambling.
