I would have Gruden on the top of my wish list, too. Pretty good coach.

I don't blame him for staying at ESPN, though. I bet there's a lot of fallout coming in wake of
Kiffin's departure.

Word on ESPN Austin is that Muschamp is staying at Texas for another year. He might be thinking the same thing as Gruden.

Muschamp plans on being at UT ‘for a long time’

By Suzanne Halliburton | Wednesday, January 13, 2010, 10:16 PM

Rumors continued to swirl late Wednesday on whether Longhorns defensive coordinator and coach-in-waiting Will Muschamp would jump to Tennessee, but Texas football spokesman John Bianco said late Wednesday night that Muschamp has not interviewed with the Volunteers.

Further, Bianco said that Muschamp told him Wednesday that he is “happy here and plans on being at Texas for a long time.”

Muschamp was in Austin on Wednesday, despite media reports from Texas to Tennessee that placed him away from the city and meeting with Volunteers athletics director Mike Hamilton.

So the only criteria to become hedge coach at Tensessee is to have once been hedge coach of the Oakland Raiders. Joe Bugle just retired from the Redskins, maybe Tennessee should reach out to him or John Madden.

Gruden = Superbowl win = wife was Vol Cheerleader....

It was a good effort, but these guys can make a ton in the booth and not deal with the BS

Air Force coach Troy Calhoun has now turned down the Vols as well--per ESPN Radio.
