re: Source for the Gruden Prediction

this is where it came from as I posted in the thread earlier. charlie hanagriff addressed this last wednesday night:

The whole thing behind it is that his agent used LSU as leverage in negotiating with the Raiders years ago when LSU's job was open.

The trends that fit are that Gruden rules like a dictator. He wants absolute control over everything in his system. In the NFL with meddling owners those days are over for coached like him. He has said before a college job at a top tier program would be ideal. LSU would be in that breath as he has said he likes this area. Besides that College coaches now make nearly as much as NFL coaches. So there would be no disparage in pay. It would come down to would he want to dedicate the time to recruiting and such.

Having said tht though, Gruden is an NFL coach and will get NFL offers. Giants, Cowboys, Jags, and most likely one other team will be looking for new coaches this year. Gruden will get some offers.
