GRUDEN??? (Suddenly, it's a thing.)
Yesterday at 8:00 PM #1 DRU2012 Super Moderator Staff member Super Moderator GRUDEN??? (Suddenly, it's a thing.)
Today at 5:33 AM #3 Escambia94 Aerospace Cubicle Engineer (ACE) Moderator Gentlemen, we have been through this enough times to know that as long as Florida is cycling through coaches every 3-4 years that we are going to hear every rumor imaginable. In 2022 it was James Franklin, Lane Kiffin, or Kalen DeBoer but we got Billy Napier (ref: https://www.gatorenvy.com/threads/re-evaluating-the-coaching-search-2022.21398/). In 2018 it was Chip Kelly and Scott Frost but we got Dan Mullen (ref: https://www.gatorenvy.com/threads/2018-coaching-search-retrospective.21272/#post-92184). In 2014 it was Mark Hudspeth (Billy Napier's predecessor who was fired for NCAA violations) and Chip Kelly (ref: https://www.gatorenvy.com/threads/a-look-back-at-the-2014-coaching-search.19668/). Amongst all those coaching searches there was always a mention of Urban Meyer, Steve Spurrier, Bill Belichik, et cetera. I am actually fascinated by the idea of bringing in Jon Gruden as a general manager of football operations.
