Jon Gruden receives a massive gift from the Tennessee Volunteers.
Over the last couple of months, former NFL head coach Jon Gruden has been posting videos of him opening care packages from college football programs all over the country. His most recent box came from none other than the Tennessee Volunteers.
Gruden got his start as a football coach with the Volunteers back in 1986. He was with the program for one year before taking the passing game coordinator position at Southeast Missouri State. From there he climbed the ladder until he landed a job with the San Francisco 49ers in 1990 as an offensive assistant. From there, he never left the NFL.
While their time together was brief, it's very clear that Coach Gruden still has a lot of love and appreciation for the Volunteers even after nearly 40 years. Now Tennessee is returning the favor to him.
