CC Rumor: Gruden interviewing?
January 8th, 2011 at 6:05 PM ^
I thought I read that somewhere.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:14 PM ^
One season, I believe.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:04 PM ^
I would shit brix if Gruden became HC.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:06 PM ^
Breaking News..... Jon Gruden, next white house press secretary,...CC that.... gosh....
January 8th, 2011 at 6:18 PM ^
Have you already booked your trip to Bolivia and just waiting for us to punch your ticket? We can oblige.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:06 PM ^
it is mentioned that one thing keeping him in Tampa is his son will be a senior in hs and plays qb and lb. It also says Gruden helps coach and that he is still being paid by Tampa from his previous contract. Money (because he is still being paid and therefore is not hurting with the MNF gig too) and family (son's football) appear to be some obstacles for any coaching position for him.
Not only that but why set ourselves up for the proverbially dong punch that will occur when we get our hopes up and realize we were just being dumbasses for thinking it was possible.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:18 PM ^
If his son's going to be a HS senior, that would probably mean another year before he gets back into coaching.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:41 PM ^
My family had a similar situation where I was a senior in high school and my father moved for a new job until we moved out with him after graduation. It wasn't ideal, and I don't know all the ins and outs of Gruden's responsiblilities there, coaching, etc, but I don't think it's a total deal breaker.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:06 PM ^
Well hopefully lot's of good candidates will be interviewing for the job. But, that doens't mean they'll automatically get it.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:19 PM ^
Someone was discussing the possibility of Coach Klien earlier Bobby, any chance you can get ahold oh him?
January 8th, 2011 at 6:08 PM ^
A fun thing about a Gruden hire:
NDNation would go absolutely batshit. He's been their impossible dream for a good decade now.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:26 PM ^
Geeze, didn't know that! What did DB say about understanding UM rivalries? Making even more sense. Great point!
January 8th, 2011 at 6:11 PM ^
January 8th, 2011 at 6:16 PM ^
I don't know, not sure UofM could handle it since RR was to much for us in that regard ...
*sarcasm*
January 8th, 2011 at 6:18 PM ^
Oh well got so pumped last night after the Cotton Ball and all the calls into wjob.com radio...expecting breaking news today somewhere... end of day # 4 ,tomorrow is a new day....
January 8th, 2011 at 6:19 PM ^
Please.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:28 PM ^
I have also heard the fact that his son will be a senior next year is the reason he has not taken any jobs.
January 8th, 2011 at 7:52 PM ^
January 8th, 2011 at 6:31 PM ^
The thing that I am happy with is that in a matter of a week, David Brandon has rebuilt a stronger and more air tight FORT SCHEMBECHLER.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:37 PM ^
Looking forward to the media lock-down...
January 8th, 2011 at 6:33 PM ^
Oh, and also Jim Delany has just updated the Big Ten division names to the Funktastic Division and Crumbelievable Division. And also touchdowns will henceforth be referred to as "sweet sticks," sacks will be called "bedazzles" and timeouts will be known as "me moments."
January 8th, 2011 at 6:38 PM ^
We should be so lucky....Please, please, please!
January 8th, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
he allegedly just turned down 7 per from miami. but miami aint no michigan! err... we can hope anyway.
maybe those interviews he did with the top qbs' in last year's draft gave him the college football bug.
no doubt it'd be awesome. just not going to get my hopes up on this one.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:49 PM ^
Hoke vs. Tressel.
Now imagine Gruden vs. Tressel.
January 8th, 2011 at 7:00 PM ^
January 8th, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
Now look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me.
January 8th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
If he is actually being interviewed I'll believe we have a shot. Didn't he refuse to even meet with miami?
January 8th, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
Anything in particular I'm looking for here? This thing is 45 minutes long
January 8th, 2011 at 7:06 PM ^
All I have to say is before we just post "Nothing to see here" we should at least give it a listen. Because the last time we had things like "nothing to see here" and "dead horse" posts was about the possibility of our coach being fired. So lets learn and not just blow stuff off because we think it is unlikely.
January 8th, 2011 at 7:10 PM ^
NM, new twitter threads discussions, would anyone care to know that I went to college with Michael Schottey?
January 8th, 2011 at 7:08 PM ^
comments from Ross on his conversations with JH for those who care...
"Harbaugh wanted to go to the NFL, but he wasn't exactly sure. He asked me, 'What should I do?' I recommended, 'Go back to Stanford and hitch yourself to the quarterback. You've got the best quarterback. You can win the national championship. The pros will be there.'

January 8th, 2011 at 7:15 PM ^
So for those keeping score at home, do we have 1 bit of evidence that Gruden is a candidate besides J. Hammond's tweet? Anything other than that?
January 8th, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
Correct, we have no bits....we are bitless....bit deprived. The NES has 8 bits, we have none.
January 8th, 2011 at 7:21 PM ^
The number of proverbial dong punches this week has left many of us bit-less.
January 8th, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
The story came from some radio station in Cleveland a couple days ago. I twittered it to find out if there was any truth to it, but no one answered me.
WKNR 850 AM out of Cleveland Ohio reported Gruden to interview for #Michigan job... Kenny Roda and Michael Reghi said so, any truth @tomvh?
I tweeted that on 6 Jan to Tom... No answer, lol.
January 8th, 2011 at 7:24 PM ^
Look - I'll bite. A guy who's been on national television for the last 2 years broadcasting MNF, with his personality, would be the cat's meow on the recruiting trail. I mean, who wouldn't want to play for that guy? Shows up with his super bowl bling, gets up at 3:17 am to watch OSU film...I get it. But unless Tirico has been working some Jedi Mind tricks in the booth, I just don't see us prying him out of the booth. He just looks like he's having too damn much fun.
January 8th, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
if not gruden, maybe tirico?
January 8th, 2011 at 7:27 PM ^
What could be more fun then running out of the tunnel,touching the banner and leading the UofM to a national championship?
January 8th, 2011 at 7:43 PM ^
I can't really see that this would be a bad idea. He would be a good face for the university, great to sell the "brand", and would be great in recruiting. His hiring of coordinators/assistants would be the tell all on if he will succeed. This is just my two cents.
January 8th, 2011 at 7:49 PM ^
Her Gruden tweet has been deleted. Fox2 is so weak.
January 8th, 2011 at 8:01 PM ^
Everytime i check her twitter, the tweet is still there. Apparently its been deleted but I still see it.
January 8th, 2011 at 8:12 PM ^
Twitter is saying Gruden was spotted in Ann Arbor......I can't handle the rumors any more. Perhaps I should turn off computer until Monday.
January 8th, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
everyone in Ann Arbor, shut your computer off, get out your iphone, fire up the mgoblog app, and HIT THE STREETS. Track him down!!!
/s
January 8th, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
would lead me to believe it is false. The guy works for them, if anyone would know about an interview it would be ESPN and yet nothing about it from them at all that I can find. Seems hard to believe that if this were true ESPN would let others break the story...
January 8th, 2011 at 8:13 PM ^
I hate to say it but ESPN is always last in giving info and he might be telling them to keep the story quiet
January 8th, 2011 at 8:26 PM ^
that would get the scoop. I'm telling you guys - he would be the shiz-nit, but I don't see it happening.
January 8th, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
Why would she delete it because the story has legs or because its not true ?
January 8th, 2011 at 8:16 PM ^
interesting interview and very awkward reaction to the question regarding his future
