I want Jon Gruden. He is a hard nosed a$$ kicker. We basically have

2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 to get ready for what college football may look like come 2030. Jon has NFL head whistle experience and basically has said 'call me.' We need a hard a$$ proven asset that's young enough to be around awhile. Someone that can tell recruits 'I can get you to the next level.' Yea, it will cost. Either go big or be welcomed into the Sun Belt or worse. We don't have time to screw around.

He is 62 not 72.. but there is a reason he is not coaching
UberHOKIE • 09/15/25 05:09 PM ET
No thanks. But probably more reasonable than some other names thrown out.**
hokie77 • 09/15/25 04:12 PM ET
Nobody has gotten more mileage out of being a decent coach 20+ years ago**
reestuart • 09/15/25 03:38 PM ET
THIS RIGHT HERE**
UberHOKIE • 09/15/25 05:03 PM ET
True.**
Techsupport • 09/15/25 04:10 PM ET
He's the ultimate coaching job tire-kicker - not a real candidate**

Jon Gruden?? What has he ever done to suggest he is ready for VT.

Agree on a "Gruden" type of hire and it could be Jon
Virginian42 • 09/15/25 03:03 PM ET
But will the VT Papal Conclave accept this? He’s icky.
Hokiefied • 09/15/25 03:00 PM ET
He is 72 had a 10 year $100M contract. Iis now worth about 30 M
UberHOKIE • 09/15/25 02:51 PM ET
Wiki says he is 62 years old, not 72
vtchem75 • 09/15/25 04:53 PM ET
I knew that
UberHOKIE • 09/15/25 05:02 PM ET
Gruden was recently on record as wanting to coach in SEC
Marooned • 09/15/25 03:21 PM ET
And no one jumped after him**
UberHOKIE • 09/15/25 05:11 PM ET
There are three P4 opportunities right now
Marooned • 09/15/25 07:15 PM ET
He's been available... We aren't hiring him **
UberHOKIE • 09/15/25 07:25 PM ET
I can tell you aren’t interested in him. Beyond that
Marooned • 09/15/25 07:40 PM ET
Look up the emails he was fired for..
UberHOKIE • 09/16/25 12:54 PM ET
He isn't coming here...**
UberHOKIE • 09/15/25 04:32 PM ET
No explanation, just my opinion has no validity eh?
Marooned • 09/15/25 07:13 PM ET
If--a big if--VT is able to hire Gruden, I WILL open up the checkbook**
