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

[DJ]

and if you suck at hiring head coaches, might as well go back to the well with one of your most successful ones

JDR didn't deserve his fate, 1 year removed from a 12-4 season.

But, Gruden was a solid hire IMO.

Who gives a shit if it's a 10 year deal? I doubt either side has any intention of him being their HC 10 years. As long as he can get them into the playoffs consistently and maybe win a Super Bowl, it's money well spent.

The contract is backloaded.

Gruden's big contract must really piss off Bill Belichick.

Probably not, but he did deserve it for firing Musgrave and replacing him with Downing.

Yeah, I saw that after I posted this.

It'll be nice to have some stability at coach.

 

[mall3013]

Yep 10 years and $10 mil a year

Doesn't Chucky get a portion of ownership as well? What an absurd deal!

 

[Guywithtoaster]

This could easily turn out to be a shitty deal. However, if Gruden starts winning nobody is gonna care about the 10yr 100m contract. Glad he is back with the silver and black.

John Gruden controlled his funny words today. He is focused. Good for him to land a new job. Go Chucky!

Exactly...no cap for staff.

That said...the contract comes with expectations...let's see what Jon Gruden 2.0 is like.

If it does and he wants to stay coaching in NE, I'm fairly certain Kraft would sign bigger cheques.

I thought you were smart Dirt. Guess I was wrong all these years. Disappointing

Shame on you
Some of us learned after reading his first post.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Who signs a coach to a 10 yer deal?

The same team who routinely drafted the fastest guy in the draft just because.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

He could be a good coach but there's a very important element to this.

When you go on mnf for eight years and become a total caricature of yourself, basically a joke, you really lose your respectability. Now he's going to be thrown back into the pit and he's going to have to go back to being a serious human being for a second.....and the players are going to have to buy into it

If I were a player i'd have a hard time taking him seriously after all the slobbering and over-the-top ridiculousness he's been saying on air for all these years and frankly this is a desperation move by a team that wants to do anything to be a "contender" in their qb's "prime".

If he does fail, it should be very entertaining so there's that. LOL

Dilly dilly

I don't think Bill will be applying for food stamps any time soon. If it becomes an issue he can just pawn a couple rings. No one will even know they're missing.

Like I said, if he is bothered about it either way, Kraft would buck up.

Do you honestly think BB gives a f&ck?
