  • They really pay him 6.5? That's ridiculous.

    Regardless, coaches love to coach. They're driven. They wanna compete and they wanna win. Tennessee gave ole Derek Dooley the severance package of a lifetime. He could be on a beach sipping margaritas every day. You know what he's doing? Coaching receivers for the Cowboys.

    You think if we buy Pettine out this year that he wouldn't immediately go get another football job? Isn't sitting around at home more "cush" than working 16 hour days in New Orleans or wherever? Sure it is. But he's going to coach football because he loves it.

    Does Gruden want it enough to leave broadcasting? Let's find out.

    Reportedly, he's one of, if not the highest paid broadcaster/announcer at ESPN. That's the beauty of the gig he's got. He's perfectly happy to keep broadcasting games but if the right situation comes along he has the out to take the HC job somewhere. Is our job the right situation for him?? Who knows...maybe it is. He's going to want full control and can't blow him out in 2 seasons like everyone else.

  • Plus he gets free speed passes to Disneyworld...

    I think Chris Berman wipes his ass with $6.5mm.

  • Great insight on Manziel by Gruden on Clev.com. Said if you stick with him you will be glad you did. He said he has the talent to be a good N.F.L. q.b. Pointed out reminded him of Farve who had a lot of the same issues when he first came into the league.

    It would be interesting to see who would win an election in Ohio between Gruden and THE Joey Bosa after they're done walking on water.

    Just out of curiosity, what young QB did Gruden ever make a star out of in Oakland or Tampa? Seems to me he counted on veteran QBs in their mid 30s like Rich Gannon and Brad Johnson. I say this because I always read and hear what a genius he is with young QBs.

    When Tampa won the Superbowl, 4 of their TDs came from their defense if memory serves me right. Interestingly enough, their opponent didn't make the Superbowl until the first year after Gruden departed. I know some will be chomping at the bits to remind me that Gruden was responsible for 2 different offenses in that 1 Superbowl. Fair enough; but that didn't stop Monte Kiffen's Defense from outscoring both of them.

    When you are a high paid announcer on MNF, you can proclaim anything you want. And if your degree is in communication like chucky, you can make it sound true.

    Very true. I LIKE the guy and find him very entertaining. My comment was aimed more at people that over-celebrate his heroics with young QBs.

    I hear ya. I wasn't trying to be critical of your post. More like piling on...lol

  • Right......the ole "Grudens Quarterback Camp" is fun to watch, but nothing more than another TV show for the masses......but it seems that it HAS given him "guru" status, even though he's never really developed a top QB.....

    I enjoyed what you had to say. Gruden always gets me laughing and we can certainly use some comic relief this year.

    Exactly, I love that show. The Kardashians are lucky that show isn't year round or there would finally be something competing with those brats in the ratings.

  • The Legends Football League can be entertaining too...in it's own right

  • Lol tebowe

  • No one wants to coach here. Look at us finding someone last year.

  • We got snubbed and settled for Pettine

  • @douche-nozzle said:

    Gruden garanteed that Tebow would be a star in the NFL. Gruden is a dipshit!

    Dipshit that built one Super Bowl team and then won a Super Bowl with another guy's team.

    So there's that.

    We've never been in that game, ever by the way.

    50th anniversary.

    and yet hes somehow on the hotseat every yea cause .500 aint good enough for cincy fans

    There's a difference between being on the "hotseat" for having a .500 season and what we currently have.

    Someone also tried to equate Mike Pettine to Ron Rivera the other day, talking about how Carolina almost fired him and now look at them. The situations aren't even close.
