Jon Gruden Fired

the Jets interested in Gruden...Jets news
Bucs firing Gruden...not Jets news.

not sure how this is confusing.

the Jets are also interested in players. by that logic, the happenings of every player in the NFL is Jets news.

 

damn if i a mod would just change the title to something like "gruden fired... should the jets take a look?" we wouldn't need to be bitching about what forum this should be in.

He might be able to go to indy and win a SB with Tony's team before failing for 9 years in a row.

 

This is absolutely Jets-related news. Stop bitching.

The Jets would be crazy not to reach out to Gruden and at least bring him in for an interview. He's an extremely successful head coach.

 

Well TB was in the Favre hunt, we hire Gruden and Favre comes back and we have a nice big happy family....

{In the corner throwing up)

 

or merge it with the Gruden thread in the NFL section.

 

BOTD

 

I'm all for Gruden.

 

I've never been sold on Gruden. the Raiders actually got better the first year without him, and the Bucs were never better than their first year with him.

 

Stop that, it tickles.

 

Jon Gruden would be an interesting hire as head coach. He'd be the new regime we're looking for and as people have mentioned he'd be kind of neutral in the 3-4/4-3 debate, likely going with whichever front was best enabled by the Jets personnel.

The question you have to ask though is whether or not Gruden was the reason the Raiders and Bucs did so well from 2000-2002 or whether he just lucked into a huge amount of offensive talent in Oakland and then got handed a great defense in Tampa Bay? For the record: Gruden was 45-51 in the 6 years after he won a Super Bowl in 2002. That's a long time to be a below average coach.

 

man, the Jets need to bring this guy in for an interview...just to hear him out at the very least.

this would fit into Tanny's mandate of "looking under every rock before making a decision".

 

Take it from the guys in the bay area:

Hells No!

 

I live in Tampa and I do not know one Bucs fan that likes Gruden. Hes a dishonest, arrogant prick and the Bucs offense has never really been good since hes been there. I dont even want him as the Oc

 

either way would be fine. with all the awful threads we have had in the jets forum lately i just dont understand the hate on this one.

 

This certainly muddies the Jets HC hunt... but I'm not sure I'd like to see Gruden here.

 

Just like some guys rush to get a headline up, some rush to judge others and just love to be the tattletale little sister...Its not a that big of deal, complaining about it just wastes more time and takes the thread furhter off your riginal thought...Should gruden be interviewed?
He is a great coach but causes alot of internal strife and I really think, we have made our decision on Rex. This may be a perfect fit for Spags though especially since Monty Kiffin is going to coach with lil Kiffin @ U of Tenn
