People keep pretending he isn't coaching in TB. Why?

I don't get that one either. I know there's some guy that looks like him sitting in the booth for Monday Night Football, but I don't see what that has to do with anything.

I'm not sure , I caught the end of the interview where he was talking about Monte whipping Brooks and the boys into a defensive frenzy on the Buccaneer ship and they all swung down from it like Pirates, was a pretty good Cornhiser / Trico interview!

ESPN also "officially reported" that Coach Cut was turning down the Duke offer. I don't trust them.

Those were some hilarious props that he gave the Vols last night...from what I've heard anyway.

Guys it is not a rumor. He was fired. He will be hired again by someone. He works in the broadcast booth right now.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound right now?

Gruden won a freaking Super Bowl in Tampa. The Glazers freaking worship the guy. They'll never let him go down there.

I heard that Gruden owns some land in the Knoxville area, and that he is married to a former UT cheerleader. He may have interest in the UT job . . .

But i doubt he would ever leave the Bucs. They love him down there since he won a superbowl.

Bucs reward Gruden, Allen with three-year contract extensions

Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden was rewarded Tuesday with a three-year contract extension that runs through the 2012 season.

Gruden, who had one year left on a contract that was extended after the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl six seasons ago, earned about $4.3 million in 2008.

General manager Bruce Allen also was given a three-year extension, keeping him under contract for another four seasons.

Gruden and Allen were attending Senior Bowl workouts and unavailable for comment. Financial terms were not announced.

Owner Malcolm Glazer and his sons paid a hefty price -- four high draft picks and $8 million cash -- to pry the coach away from the Raiders. The move produced immediate dividends with a Super Bowl title in Gruden's first season, however the Bucs have missed the playoffs four of six years since then.

The contract extensions are a clear indication that the Glazers agree with Gruden and Allen that the franchise is back on the right track.

People will believe any urban legend thrown out there. Gruden will be a Buc until he decides he's tired of it or wants to be OC for Kiffin.

Death, taxes, and Gruden coaching the Bucs. Deal with it, people, it's not changing anytime soon.
