Gruden coming to Charlottesville?
In a question and answer series with the Orlando Sentinel, Gruden was asked about his plans and mentioned checking out some “cool colleges” to watch and learn. Al Groh made the cut. Impressive.
Here was Gruden’s answer: “It means I want to learn more football. I’m going to pick out two or three cool colleges that I think have great offenses. Great places. I want to go to Oregon. I want my son to go to Oregon football camp, and I want to learn what the Oregon Ducks are doing on offense. ... I want to go in there and try to be a guest coach. I want to go to Al Groh’s camp in Virginia. I love the way Al Groh coaches that football team. I want to learn a little bit about Coach [Jim] Leavitt. I want to learn about the USF team. I think he has done a hell of a job, building it from scratch. I think that’s one of the great stories in football, what he’s done in 12 years there at USF.“

I read that article in the Orlando Sentinel yesterday about Gruden (we are wintering in Florida).Apparently Gruden is all about learning the spread offense. Looks like he has his eye on a college head coaching job.

I know this is an informal blog, but you might want to mention “Gruden’s” first name. This qualifies as journalism?

I live in Tampa and graduated from UVa. I was excited when the Glazer family fired John Gruden and have been hoping for Al Groh’s departure in C’ville. Reading this blog headline made me cringe! I hope he only visits briefly if at all.
