Jon Gruden To Miami

[bdan2002]

Miami Herald is reporting Jon Gruden has agreed to coach the Hurricanes at $3.4 million per year.

Interesting! That had to have been a done deal for some time!

shouldn't he hold out for the arlington cowgirl job?

Miami is where I think Leach may land. They have the balls to take him on.....plus he's living in the Keys.

I have thought about this all along. With the talent (especially on the offensive side) he would be around in the state and the region around UM....Leach would take Miami back where they are accustomed to being.

All offense, no defense?

or a middle of the road Big 12 school?

The mad made Lubbock a place kids flocked to live for college. Yes with the history of dynamo offensive talent that comes from Miami...Leach would take that and elevate it to even a higher level. The defense will be there. Leach to Miami would be huge.

Interesting that Peter King comes out and refutes the reports even though everything seems to be heading in that direction.

The choice of Gruden for UM struck me as odd on both ends. For one, Gruden has never been a head man at the college level and for Gruden, I would have thought that he would want back into an NFL head coaching job. It looked like there would be plenty of head coaching jobs to choose from as well. Maybe the labor unrest scared him off of that.

Yeah, but Jim Leavitt is living in Tampa and the Miami AD, Kirby Hocutt played for Leavitt at Kansas State.

Interesting, huh?

The Sun-Sentinel says Gruden initiated contact with the U of Miami about the job.

Here's another twist, and as a Dolphins fans I'm ashamed to say I had not heard that Stephen Ross wants Gruden to take over the Dolphins' head coaching position.

He would have 3.4 million reasons per year to try the college game. That is an insane salary for a college head coach.
