Post-gruden fantasy coaching thread

[thanatos]

Since it seems that Gruden was only a potential coaching candidate in the private mind gardens of fanatical Vawl fans who incessantly post comments on the news sentinel website and call into sports talk radio shows, what other names should be tossed out into the kool-aid?

Personally, I think they should go after John Madden. Not only did Madden win a Super Bowl. But, he was a much better sports announcer, has his own video game, and would instantly be a hit with recruits. I mean, why limit yourself to some guy nicknamed 'chuckie'?

Other potential candidates:
Tony Dungy. Ok, so the black thing will be a problem, let's all be honest about that. But, he's uber-Christian, won a Super Bowl, and would have Peyton's blessing. Plus, talk of Dungy would lead to wet dreams of 'offensive coordinator Peyton Manning'. *swoon*.

Long time no see Toby. How you been?

I'm still hoping President Obama will consider the job after he's done in Washington. Strokes for all the racists.

Sorry to disappoint you, but my name isn't Toby.

Not exciting enough and not a foobawl coach.

I heard that what's his name Hart had his nose disjointed by all the Gruden talk and threatened to quit if Gruden got hired.

Whatever.

Okay then. P. Fulmer for AD and Peyton Manning for Head Coach.

I toss this into the fantasy coaching fray.

Hart's doomed. He might be able to make a quality hire who will not suffer the indignities of the Dooliregnum, but who but the pipe-dream-tokin' hire of Gruden could exercise the fan base? Haven't heard an energizing name, which isn't bad from a just-play-football, but from a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! point of view, could be problematic.

That's more like it!

I'll throw 'the chin' out there. His kids go (went) to UNC , we're close to to that, right? Plus, he won a Super Bowl, he's white (whew, dodged a bullet there), the Rooney family have some convoluted relationship to Knoxsville, right? No? Shit.

Ok, next up. Maybe get that guy from Oregon. I mean, the SEC is where it's at and UT is a dream job. Plus, he could beat Bama, or wait, maybe LSU. what kind of legacy can you build in Eugene, OR if you're not some kind of hippie anarchist?

Bonus: now that a Haslam owns the Cleveland Browns maybe we could get one of their former coaches. Surely, Schotenheimer is out is SD. He almost went to a couple of Super Bowls, that counts for something,right?

You know, Johnny majors looks pretty good for his age. Hmmmmm.....

I don't think there would be an issue with an African-American coach. I recall considerable speculation centering on Lovie Smith coming back to take over a fwe years ago. But anyway

Tennessee's coach search turns to Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy
