Chucky to the SEC? The 61-year-old is letting the league that just means more know that he is, in fact, available.Now a media personality with Barstool Sports, Jon Gruden made it clear in a recent meeting with the Georgia Bulldogs that he not only wants to return to coaching, but make his head coaching debut in the SEC, more specifically.Hes won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and coached the Raiders twice.

Why not give the best conference in college football a shot?The only reason I really came here is because I want to coach again, Gruden said on Inside The FFCA.

Im being honest with you.

I do not bullsh** either.

I want to coach again.

Id die to coach in the SEC.

I would love it.

I would f***ing love it.

Ill let you guys this...

what I know about the SEC is its getting harder.

The SEC is getting harder.

They tell me Texas is in the SEC.

They tell me Oklahoma is in the SEC.

G**damn.Gruden was an ESPN analyst from 2009 to 2017 before he returned to coach the Oakland and Las Vegas Raiders from 2018 to 2021.

Then he served as a consultant for the New Orleans Saints in 2023.Now, hes going viral unboxing gift packages from college teams, including the Kentucky Wildcats he opened that one from Mark Pope ahead of March Madness.

That video included him talking through memories of the Cats as he struggled to cut through the packing tape.Basketball? Coach Pope? I love Kentucky Basketball.

They said they might send something.

You know, when I was a kid, Kentucky Basketball, that was our archrival.

Joe B.

Hall was the head coach.

Goose Givens.

Rick Robey.

Kyle Macy.

But you learned to love them.

Theyve got SGA, Karl-Anthony Towns.

John Wall.

What a tradition....

You ever heard of DeMarcus Cousins? They used to have a guy named Sky Walker.

He had like a 58-inch vertical jump.

How about Rick Pitino, man? Rick Pitino is the greatest coach of all time.

...

Thank you, Coach Pope.

Its our time of the year.

Playoff time.
