Just reported by Alex Dunlap on OB-

Texas has reached out to Jon Gruden in the HC search.

More smokescreen? Or the other candidates looking less likely? Interesting development this late in the process.

 
Here comes Chucky.

This is like the "12 Days After Christmas" with a new name circulating each day. First it was Franklin, then it was Strong, now it is Gruden. This is playing like a perfect Belmont smokescreen.

 
another day...another name leaked over there. strange deal. it doesnt say when he was contacted and he's not even on the list per this site and IT...so I dont really buy into it much as a legit possibility. I think Patterson wants to give the impression UT went through a full process..thus the search committee...leaking of new names every few days, etc

I dont think it changes anything IMO - and we are going to hear a lot more names soon as smokescreens are flowing out

 
would much rather have Greuden than Strong, Franklin or More.

My list:

1. Saban

2. Briles

3. Fisher

4. Malzahn

5. Gruden

6. Strong/Franklin/Mora

 
I would be willing to bet we already have our guy pegged. He may not be penned, but he's pegged.

Not sure we are "late in the process". I'd say more like mid-point. Granted, a lot of vetting was done already, but I think the serious stuff is in the next 5-7 days.

 
OB is embarrassing. "Oh no, our site hits are dropping and we need to deliver for our sponsored links.....let's just roll out more baseless speculation and see what kind of run we can get with the sheeple".

 
With all the NFL jobs opening after today, I don't see how Chucky doesn't go there.

 
I can understand if he was contacted but I hope it was just part of the process and that there is no serious interest on our part. I think Gruden would be a terrible hire.

 
i don't understand why he doesn't just stay in the broadcast booth. He is been out of the game too long, the ESPN gig really has to be an easy one
