I believe that Tennessee likes to be turned down by Jon Gruden before turning to other candidates.

Supposedly, that important dinner last Friday was with Gruden's son and some of his frat members... Or so one of the frat members and friends of Gruden's son confirmed on Twitter.

Leach has never been a job hopper. I think he enjoys what he is doing and is not motivated by the next big thing. I like and respect Leach - would not want him as CU's HC but college football needs him.
Would immediately be the biggest name in the college game and I'd imagine that would reflect in both recruiting, as well as the staff he's able to assemble. Other than that, hard to say whether he'd actually be good at coaching.
He would be one of the biggest names in college football.
The guy has not even been a head coach since safety and practice protocols were changed at the NFL level, let alone how different those protocols are at the college level. Seems like an attempt to just hire the name.
If he was going to get back into coaching, I would think it would be in the NFL. He is making big time bucks with ESPN and last I heard, he had no desire to get back into coaching. I would think a School would need to name him the highest paid college coach of all time for him to even look at it.
Well, he'd fit their O right away and has toys in the backfield.

What's his connection to JJ? Asking out of ignorance.
LM was with the Cowboys for a couple of years before he took over at OSU.
They’re supposed to be good friends since the 90s and since Miles worked for the Cowboys. There were some rumors that Miles might flee to Arkansas while he was still a coach at LSU.
If the Buffs for some reason needed a head coach, I would be thrilled with Matt Campbell.
Not sure how that makes Arkansas better, but it does make sense with the connections.
Scott Frost would be an idiot to go to nebraska, I reckon he is offered any number of Big jobs as they come open.
At this point I think kNU is a dead end for coaches.
I think their best pitch is that the division is favorably set up. They outrecruit all those teams and shouldn’t be having the problems they’ve been having. Should be an easy route to the conference championship even if they get blown out there.
Their delusional fanbase is an issue tho. We have anonymous coaches calling the job crappy and radio guys are saying they’d prefer G5 jobs over working in Lincoln. Their next hire has to be one of the most intriguing job searches in all sports. It will tell us a lot about where they are and where they’re going. Maybe the money is enough to get a big hire or maybe Frost wants to come back bad enough. But if they end up with another Riley type hire, then we can close the book on their program. ^_^

Gruden has been out of college coaching so long that the second to last college team he coached, Pacific, dropped their football team.... 22 YEARS AGO.
Been quite a bit of time.

God Nebraska used to kill those poor guys. 22 years ago or not, you don't tend to forget those ass whippings. Nebraska should've never changed how they played on O for sure, D too.
Honestly, I think much of it is personality.
Forde camp out with a coaching carousel article today with some names for certain schools:

Ole Miss: Macintyre, Leach, Skip Holtz, Troy Calhoun
