WATCH: Jon Gruden Geeks Out at Receiving NC State’s Swag Box

Former NFL Coach Jon Gruden, who is currently making waves over at Barstool Sports, absolutely geeked out unpacking a swag box from NC State Football. Gruden might have a better understanding of Wolfpack Athletics history than most NC State fans.

Check out the video BELOW, and read the transcript UNDERNEATH.

You gotta be KIDDING ME with this box!

Coach Doeren and the entire @PackFootball staff outdid themselves with all this stuff, I truly cannot get over it.

Hey Jake, look at this box man, came from North Carolina State. Holy cow, it’s heavy. Glad I bring a knife to work now.

Dave Doeren is the head coach. They’ve got a lot of quarterbacks, starting with the great Philip Rivers, going all the way back to Roman Gabriel.

I guess Russell Wilson claims NC State. I had Mike Glennon, Jacoby Brissett. Did you see him beat the Jets this year? He’s still playing.

Mario Williams.

How about the receivers? Torry freaking Holt, Haywood Jeffiries.

You know Steve Kline? He used to be the GM of the Arizona Cardinals. He’s a friend of mine. I was thinking maybe he was behind this, but he’s a cheap son of a bitch.

I guarantee you he had nothing to do with this. God, Adrian Wilson, speaking of Arizona, he would smash you coming out of the safety position.

I used to think I was gonna be Spud Webb. Remember that little short guy for the Hawks that won the dunk championship?

This is loaded with stuff. There’s a note to Coach Gruden from NC State equipment staff.

1 pack, 1 goal. That’s a good line, isn’t it?

Holy cow, receiver gloves. I’m gonna have to examine these. Look at that. Look at that freaking thing right there. No wonder Torry Holt and Haywood Jeffries were so good.

Look at this shoe. This might be my favorite one. These are perfect. These are absolutely perfect. Just enough bling, but not over the top. These shoes with this glove. Honest to God.

You ever see that movie Hangover? This is awesome. Zach Galifianakis, whatever his name is. Zach, remember him in Hangover? He’s gonna be proud of this. Zach, I wish I could say your last name, but don’t worry, Gruden has been butchered a lot. Look at the flip flops. Perfect for Clearwater Beach.

And a wristband. Holy cow.

I mean, Trea Turner of the Phillies.

How about Bradley Chubb, Alim McNeil., pass rusher.

What is that? There’s something in there. What’s in it? What could it be?

Social House Vodka from Raleigh, North Carolina. You guys take the cheese, man. This is the greatest box ever.

How about having a quarterback drinking Social House Vodka? I guarantee you he’ll make some good decisions.

The Wolfpack. David Thompson.

Remember Dereck Whittenburg and Jimmy Valvano?

The strength and conditioning of the freaking Wolfpack.

Wow. Remember Mike Quick, the receiver for the Eagles?

My old defensive coordinator, Hall of Famer, Monte Kiffin, was a coach at NC State. Lou Holtz was at NC State.

I just got to say to Dave Doeren and all the Wolfpack equipment guys, thank you so much. I got to get dressed and show you guys this stuff.

Look at this. Does this not have a vibe to it? I mean, I just feel like a Wolfpack.

When I was lucky enough to visit our troops overseas, I got to meet the great four-star general, Ray Odierno.

Bill Cowher went with us. They are both NC State Wolfpack guys.
