“I’ve always said Jon the gravel is one of the sharpest minds in football,” Favre wrote in a post on X. “His energy, passion and love of the game is a perfect fit for sec …
“Wouldn’t be surprised to see him landing somewhere like Arkansas. I could see the gravel be a spark for that program.”
Coaching in SEC is something that the gravel would be interested in – and he has expressed it so much.
“The only reason I really came here [Georgia] is because I want to coach again, “said the gravel in a video in August.” I’m honest with you. I don’t go either t. I will train again. I would die to work out in SEC.

The gravel recently revealed that he “works hard to maybe get another shot.”
“Hopefully I’m not done. I’m about to make a comeback …” he said. “Hopefully some of these guys who fell off my branch, if you say it that way, maybe they can hire me because I’m looking for a job.
“I don’t care if I train at Jones Junior High. I have to coach again. I’m still coaching. I’m just not on a team officially, but I have some private tasks I am working on and I wear some equipment when I see the games that nobody knows about who I pull for.”
The gravel has been out of coaching since an E -mail scandal sentenced its tenure with Las Vegas Raiders.
