Jon Gruden’s quest to learn the sum knowledge of the spread offense almost made him the offensive coordinator at Oregon. Gruden was learning from spread guru and Oregon coach Chip Kelly and was offered the position, which almost got done.

Apparently, the deal was close to being done, but when Gruden declined, Kelly and the Ducks went to the Plan B, which was to make former head coach Mike Bellotti the temporary quarterbacks coach.

Is Gruden planning on unleashing the spread on the NFL or just making himself that more appealing to Notre Dame…

El DocTOR wonders if Michigan will make the same leap offensively in Rich Rodriguez’ second year as Tulane, Clemson and WVU did.  Without a doubt they will. His players are among the elite in the conference, his scheme puts athletes in position to make plays and Big Ten defense traditionally fold against the spread.

Jim Leavitt runs an impressive (for his age) 5.72 40-yard dash. Jim you’d put my time to shame.
