IU Scott Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 If you hire Gruden it is just for the publicity and not what is best for the program. I don't think he would be able to recruit with his racist emails 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take him in a heartbeat His dad was an assistant at IU under Corso I think. Gruden grew up in Bloomington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had them trending up again and the NFL dug up a BS E-mail from a Redskins computer that had nothing to do with him or the Raiders. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden could mentor him for a few years until ARE could eventually take over? That is how I would draw it up. Bring over Frye as the OC 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I agree. The stuff in those emails is pretty bad. It’s not like he made one or two comments. There’s a whole treasure trove of content that makes him seem like an overly vindictive person. It just seems like he’d be a hard sell to recruits and families…especially moms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Here is where we I hope we can think outside of the box. Bring in Gruden and use his knowledge and connections and have him mentor ARE who can be the face of the program, be out recruiting and relate to the younger players. Since I'm dreaming, Frye comes over as the OC in a lateral move to get away from the sinking ship that is OSU to join a program on the rise and destined to become a new national powerhouse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 There is no way in the world we land Gruden, but if that actually happens I’m requesting an IU visor for Christmas as soon as the news breaks. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
