Hope Oakland likes Gruden with a 10 year and $100,000,000 contract

[Hank Kingsley]

How about the GM?

I thought he and McKay worked closely on stuff like that (the draft)?

Be nice to see Gruden coaching again. Let's see if he can get Oakland back to their level of play from 2016.

I thought he and McKay worked closely on stuff like that (the draft)?

They probably did, but Dungy wasn't a part of the Bucs when McKay drafted guys like Sapp, Brooks and Lynch - the actual foundation of the TB defenses. And before anyone says 'Dungy formed them into the defense that we all know'......I say take a look at what he did with the Indy Colts defense.

Dungy's 'greatness' is due to soft, loveable 'godly' side and litte more. Dude was overrated.

Sources: Raiders giving 10-year deal to Gruden

The NFL on Friday said the Raiders have complied with the Rooney Rule in their coaching search.

I think that team owner needs to get his hair cut by someone who does not put a bowl on his head

Did they really? I find that questionable. Clearly they weren't giving anyone else a chance.. They wanted Gruden from the beginning

 

[redseat]

Wonder if Oakland will get a 10 year supply of Corona's?

 

[GeekSportsFan]

Who signs a coach to a 10 yer deal?

Mark Davis. Just look at the hair cut he gets. The guy has obvious decision making deficiencies.

 

[Born to run]

For that kind of money Gruden better have a 12 and 4 record 5 straight years and 2 Super Bowl victories.

 

[GNG]

No, but thanks for asking.

 

[GNG]

Won it in the best Switzeresque fashion too, taking over a lead pipe cinch....

He still won a SB.

 

[GNG]

He doesn't seem like a guy I'd want to turn around a defense but I do think he'll be an above average coach.

He'll hire a DC to fix the defense.

Which is why I said so then Wyche? And then McKay/Wyche?

No matter, Gruden didn't build that team.

A mouth breather.

No matter, Gruden didn't build that team.

...and neither did Dungy.

...and neither did Dungy.

My, isn't that nice.

 

[Ricky Roma]

My, isn't that nice.

It's fact.

Anything else?

 

[GNG]

I'm a mouth breather.

Fixed for accuracy.

The GM did... Gruden's job is to coach the team.

Dungy is one of the most overrated coaches in NFL history.

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Tony Dungy was one play/call away from the Super Bowl with the Bucs. Gruden might have helped but thats not enough evidence for me to say that he is worth 100 million

In reality is any player or coach worth $100 million? These guys have money to spend in such an insane way

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Mark Davis. Just look at the hair cut he gets. The guy has obvious decision making deficiencies.

I heard in an interview he keeps his hair like that because Einstein had crazy hair.
