02:56 AM ET 11.30 | Should Gruden come to the SEC and take the coaching job with the Vols, the question will be begged: can the man they call Chucky make a run at overthrowing Alabama's Nick Saban as supreme ruler of the SEC? Since arriving at the school, Saban has built a power house and a school that is looking like it's going to be the next NCAA dynasty. Everyone wants to play for him and those who do usually go on to have promising and successful NFL careers. Heck, even when he loses, Saban still finds a way to get into the National Championship game or at the very least get more than just a legitimate shot at doing so. Next to Les Miles, Saban hasn't really had a formidable opponent in the SEC; he's got no Joker to his Batman, which is one of the main reasons people have a gripe with the conference. Can Gruden eventually give King Saban a run for his money?

Chucky isn't all that. And neither is Saban. Saban has benefited from a stable defensive coordinator (Kirby).

Scrolling on the ESPN says he turned it down.

This could have been an article last week. He said no thanks a long time ago!

Saban ran Urbie off. Life is a lot easier for Urbie in the mediocre Big 10+2+1 (I think-lost count)

Gruden would have to work if he took the Vols job.

more importantly he would need to master the skill of oversinging.

Truer words were never spoken. Gruden is a HUGE fraud.

There is no oversinging or oversiGning (especially oversinging) allowed in the SEC. It has been voted out. The term is called processing. Please try to keep up.

Yep-- the reports in the Knoxville News Sentinel (based on talks with his agent) seem pretty cut-and-dried about it.

Actually, there was oversinging in the SEC this year-- the Mizzou fans were doing that, drowning out the Vol fans at Neyland as UT coughed up another victory by sleeping through the second half.

I vaguely recall that the bama fans were also oversinging the Vol fans at Neyland, too, but I've managed to drown October football memories out with a lot of heavy drinking.
