Actually, you're not as far off as you think.

I have a friend who knows a ton of high school coaches in SoCal, and Chip Kelly from Oregon is heavily recruiting one of his friend's QB's. The word is that Jon Gruden wants to get back to coaching, but college coaching, not pro. Yes, this flies in the face of everything he's said in the past, but that was before he got fired and before he found out that his players totally turned on him. The coaches say that Gruden is tired of spoiled undisciplined NFL players, and wants to return to the college game.

I have no proof of this, but I do know this: Jon Gruden really wanted to learn the spread offense), and so he studied film and talked to people and he thought that Chip Kelly ran it the best. So, as the media reported, he went to Oregon to talk to Chip Kelly, where Kelly offered him the O-coordinator job (Gruden declined). What the media didn't report was that he was there for 2 straight weeks, really getting to know the spread in and out.

Some are reporting that he did it to use possibly in the NFL, but really, who runs the spread in the NFL? The QB's will get killed by those 300 pound linemen and 275 linebackers on roids. If anyone was going to use it, wouldn't someone already have done it with Vince Young or Mike Vick? I'm not buying it.

My friend might be getting total b.s. from those coaches, but to me, it adds up. Now, i don't see Gruden at ND because I truly see ND getting 10 wins this year will all the veteran talent that CW has assembled (remember '05), but then again we did lose to friggin' Syracuse so anything can happen. Just sayin'...

I assume you are joking, because you would have to be on crack to think that Bill Cowher is going to coach at ND.

If he did, we would never win a big home game, thats for sure.

Good one... First post should be about Gruden hiring Urban Meyer as the Offensive Coordinator, Bill Cowher as the Defensive Coordinator and Frank Beamer as the Special Teams Coach!!!

Yeah, cuz UCLA, CAL, Stanford. they have terrible weather. Oh and dont get me started and that gimmicky west coast offense that most Pac- 10 teams run. No one in the NFL runs that. Not to mention the lack of talent that the state of California produces. I dare anyone to name 1 good football player from Cali.
