You guys are making jokes but there are idiots on this board that believe that crap. One jackass once wondered why Tennessee doesn't just hire Bill Belichik. Yes, they're that stupid.

Belichik? nah his sweatshirt attire was the reason we informed him his services would not be needed. Jon Gruden seems to be front runner at this point and time.

Gruden has way to big of an ego, he feels he can do no wrong and that he has arrived as a football guru. I am sure there are formal players of his teams that have a favorable opinion on his coaching style and beliefs but I have never read them if they exist.

Like this affects Nick Saban and he's a way bigger douche than Gruden.

Saban can back his mouth up, Gruden has a coaching record of 95-81 .540 winning percentage. Saban has a 146-56-1 .722 winning percentage and has had to rebuild every team he has taken over.

The NFL is not the same as coaching at Alabama. The Bucs traded their entire draft future just to get Gruden to deliver a Superbowl. There is no draft in college football that penalizes success. A winning record in the NFL is significant and it is not a situation where 80% of the games are against teams with no shot of winning. Gruden ever coming here is not likely but he would be a terror in recruiting. Alabama was not a major rebuild. They were well past their NCAA troubles and had good players on the roster.

He was also the only HC in the modern era to rebuild the Raiders from the ground up to be a Superbowl caliber team.

Gruden's biggest problem was QB's. He mistakenly thought he could turn average, backup level QB's into Pro Bowlers. Never happened in Tampa. Had they drafted them an Andrew Luck or RG3, he'd still be the HC for Tampa.

That was a tough division to win, with Chris Simms or Garcia as your QB. Good backups, maybe...but not starters.

You don't draft great players when the team trades your first round picks for the coach. I am sure he would have liked a few draft do-overs and he had me rollin when he talked about drafting the qb instead of Brady because of his forty time and combine performance. I think it was when he was talking to Wilson.

Gruden started the 2002 season as the Bucs HC, after 4 years he went 4-12 so don't hand me they traded first round draft picks to get him and that was the reason he couldn't get a QB. I do not consider a record of 57-55 to be that successful when you consider his first year they went 12-4. The draft excuse is nothing more than an excuse, he had plenty of drafts to address the issue over his 7 year tenure with the Bucs.

It doesn't sit well with me but I have reserved judging him the first 2 years because IMO he has not had a roster to compete with at this level until this season. This season will be the measuring stick and I will have no problem saying if he has shown what it takes to succeed in this conference.

If he wins 8, I predict he stays. Win 9 and there is no doubt. However, 7 or less, then this discussion becomes relevant.
