“I have a headache still’ – Jon Gruden leaves no doubt on how he feels about Tennessee after an all-access visit to Neyland Stadium for Vols’ win over Kentucky
Former NFL coach Jon Gruden made an all-access visit to Tennessee this past weekend for the Vols’ win over Kentucky.
Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden made an all-access visit to Tennessee this past weekend for the Vols’ 34-6 win over Kentucky.
Gruden, a former Vols graduate assistant who was the subject of Tennessee coaching rumors (Grumors) multiple times in the last 16 years, spoke about his visit to Rocky Top on Monday morning on “Wake Up Barstool.”
And unsurprisingly, Gruden, who has never been shy about his love for the Volunteers, was fired up about the trip (which he took with his wife Cindy, a former UT cheerleader).
“Tennessee, that environment there,” said Gruden. “You guys have been to a lot of stadiums. I see you guys at all these places. That place was freaking rocking. It looked insane. I mean, I couldn’t hear. I have a headache still. That place was absolutely off the chains, and they’ve got a great defense. Josh Heupel’s done a heck of a job. And man, did we have a blast.”
Gruden also said that while he didn’t love Tennessee’s all black uniforms at first, he’s grown to love them.
“I didn’t like them at the beginning, but now I’m wearing all black. I’m gonna wear all black for the rest of the year. I love it. It’s like the Raiders and Tennessee merging together. God, I love Rocky Top.”
Gruden also posted a behind-the-scenes video of his trip on his YouTube channel.
