“I have always said that Jon Gruden is one of the most acute minds of football,” Favre wrote in a publication about X. “His energy, passion and love for the game are perfect for the SEC …
“I would not be surprised to see him land somewhere as Arkansas. I could see Gruden as a spark for that program.”
The training in the SEC is something that Gruden would be interested, and expressed it so much.
“The only reason I really came here [Georgia] It’s because I want to train again, “Gruden said in a video in August.” I am being honest with you. I don’t either. I want to train again. I would die to train in the SEC.
“I would love it. I would love it. I’m going to tell you this. What I know about the SEC is that it is becoming more difficult. The sec is becoming more difficult. They tell me that Texas is in the Sec. They tell me that Oklahoma is in the sec. Damn is, Texas A&M”.

Gruden recently revealed that he is “working hard to get one more opportunity.”
“I hope it’s not over. I’m about to return …” he said. “I hope some of these guys who fell from my branch, if you say it that way, maybe they can hire me because I am looking for work.
“I don’t care if I train in Jones Junior High. I’m going to train again. I’m still training. I’m not officially in a team, but I have some private tasks where I work, and I use some equipment when I am looking at the games that nobody knows about who I am throwing.”
Gruden has been out of training since an email scandal condemned his mandate with Las Vegas Raiders.
