As most know, Gruden is currently employed by Barstool Sports. He recently participated in a golf tournament put together by Barstool and another YouTube golf group “Bob Does Sports”.

I was listening to Barstool’s golf podcast yesterday where they were recapping some of the tournament. One of the guys brought up Gruden’s speech he gave before-hand and said “imagine if (Gruden) gets that LSU job.

I found this interesting because there are currently 9 other power 4 head coaching vacancies right now, including 4 in the SEC. Why would he explicitly mention LSU? Gruden has expressed strong interest recently in coaching in the SEC. He says he’d “do that shite for free.”

I personally believe he might be talking to us. I don’t think he’s at the top of our list because of the age thing, but he’s a spring chicken for 62. He’s passionate, has strong X’s & O’s knowledge, and is very experienced as a head coach.



TLDR: Wouldn’t hate the hire

If we want lsu to become a total punchline, this is the hire to make.

Because Instagram and Facebook have tried to push him on us since Kelly was fired

One thing is for damn sure……….. Gruden would have 200% more fan friendly personality than BK

This board convinced themselves BK was a home run, so I don’t understand the strong opinions in either direction for any candidate.

Yes, by all means lets hire the guy that was dumb enough to write this in an email:

quote:

The email, sent to the president of the Washington Football Team in July 2011 as the NFL and its players were in the midst of trying to resolve a lockout, said Smith had "lips the size of michellin tires,"


I'm sure other coaches wouldn't just print that out and hand it to literally every black recruit on planet earth. I'm sure that would have zero negative effect on our ability to get quality football players.

Are you people fricking insane?

Is there more context to this? Why is that different than calling a guy fat?
