With every passing year it becomes clearer that Gruden did just this. Not a college coach, though.

I would pay good money for a podcast or something of Gruden being Gruden about football. Just because imagining him with no filter sounds amazing.

3 (well now 2) coaching, 4 total, I think

The lone star showdown was great because you could always tell that when the corps marched on Austin, there were a few guys there that wanted to throw a coup, disband the state government, and defund the UT system.

I wonder how much differently people would view Stoops if he'd won the title in the middle or end of his career instead of at the very beginning. Like obviously he's an all time great coach either way, but it kinda feels like people never gave the fact that he'd won a national title enough credit when they did all that dumb BIG GAME BOB poo poo because it happened in his second season and was followed with a couple decades of being among the best teams in the sport but not quite the very best

Its going to be interesting to see how quickly people forget how much luck played into a national championship game appearance compared to today with there being a playoff now.

It's because many fans of bigger schools that do this assume they can always win that many because "we are (insert school name here)"

If the playoffs were around, I think the opinion of him would be wildly different. He likely would have made 6 playoff appearances (2000, 2003, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2015)

My favorite part about Phil Steele is where he came up with so many different ways to rank teams that eventually he'd be mostly right about one of them and be able to say "correctly picked the top 25 (in something) 11 years in a row!" or some such bullshit.
