[Innermind]

Tonight, FOX Sports 1 reported that Texas will seek a coach who has either won the college National Championship or won the Super Bowl Championship.

Here are the eight Super Bowl winning coaches under the age of 60...if they are still coaching in the NFL, I have listed their current team:

Mike Tomlin - 41 (Steelers)
Sean Payton - 49 (Saints)
Jon Gruden - 50
Mike McCarthy - 50 (Packers)
John Harbaugh - 51 (Ravens)
Bill Cowher - 56
Tony Dungy - 58
Brian Billick - 59


I'm just listing the NFL coaches.....someone else can work out/research the natty winning college coaches under age 60.

I like Sean Payton. Always thought he should have been the Cowboys HC. Another Jerry Jones fuckup.....

Dude. Do remember his defense on the 2005 Texas team? They should definitely hire him. Given the right team, assistants and players they could be great.

Do it Texas!

Barry Switzer won a National Championship and a Super Bowl...

 

[Shanemansj13]

Hmm...Gruden would be interesting. I would love to see him go to Texas

Hmm...Gruden would be interesting. I would love to see him go to Texas

I'd love to see that only because all the Vols fans were convinced he was going to coach Tenn lol

I've never been sold on Gruden as a head coach in the college ranks. He's got no experience in it.

College is an entirely different ballgame than the pro's regarding schemes. In college the athletes are also students and your time with them is strictly controlled. As a college head coach you're a babysitter.

I also don't think he'd get any better players than Texas already gets.

A monkey with an extra chromosome could have led that Cowboys team to a Super Bowl.

I've never liked Gruden as a HC. And yes pro and college coaching is a very different animal. I don't get why a lot of people don't realize that.

Because disney pimps him.

Apparently Sean Payton is a target:

If he becomes the Texas coach, will he offer bounties on Oklahoma players?

 

[Innermind]

If Texas wants Sean Payton, then they will need to open-up the wallet.

Payton is currently earning $8 million per year as the Saints coach...this not only makes him the highest paid NFL coach, but the highest paid coach in America for any sport.

Sean Payton surpasses Bill Belichick as highest paid U.S. coach - SBNation.com


He be rakin' in the dough!

 

[Texas Jefe]

AD Patterson said today they want a coach with college coaching experience.

USC reached out to Gruden during their search. He told them if he was going to return, it would be to the pros and he has no interest in coaching at the college level.
