Nobody better at announcing NFL games than this guy. He would be missed.

Anyone that hires that moron deserves what they get.

Folks lets be clear.

Would you want a Coach that
A) Was fired and cared more about doing nothing and getting paid than getting a Job.
or
B) Was fired and still had much passion for the game and took another job even though they could have sat on their ass and earned money for doing nothing?

You are getting A.

A guy who would ONLY take a job, after he got his money.

His Passion is for MONEY, not Football.

Biggest Scam artist in Football Coaching History.

Very True.

But when it comes to Football these people will not succeed. Especially if they can just walk away a rich man already.

I dont think ANY Fan wants their coach to be more Business like than Football Like.

Take Any Great Coach. Then ask yourself this, what would they do in this situation.

Fired, and for the next 3 years will make 9 million dollars as long as he DOES NOT COACH. Then he is offered a Job. One that would pay him 7.5 Million over 3 years.

What would a Great Coach do? Sit on ass and make an extra 1.5 Mil. Or Coach and earn an even more lucrative contract after winning?

Buyer Beware with Gruden.

Most businessmen would be out of a job if they didn't produce, too. But most wouldn't get paid to not go back to work. And I don't think Bill Gates or Steve Jobs would have ever made great or even good football coaches.

I could be wrong but I think he was saying business men in general get paid for sitting on their asses. Not after they get fired.

So when I sat on my ass all day writing computer code that made me a bad person?

NO, Not At All. Sorry if I gave that impression.

IN a football coach I want someone who is more worried about leading other people in a common goal, than one who is just worried about a pay check.

Most people NEED to worry about their paycheck. They HAVE to.

NFL and Top Tier CFB teams pay very well for Coaches. Mainly because they should not have to worry about Money, but rather the 53 or 80 guys. A Coach who has his main priority as Money, should not be hired.

He's gonna stay an announcer. He's holding out for Madden to fall over so EA can rename the video game franchise Gruden NFL Football 20**.
