filthymcnasty08 Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 John Gruden, Tony Dungey, Bill Cower and Russ Brandon were seen fleeing Chippewa St in a Ford Tempo! Take it FWIW With Seifert who had the exhumed corpse of Bill Walsh over his shoulder and dressed up like Weekend at Bernies.
jjmac Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Sorry Chan! No, I'm not Chan-I have only a goatee, not a full beard. Anyway, I just don't think Gruden is the answer.
Jamie Nails Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Gruden would fly in on a private jet and be out before you know it. He'd be where ever the hell he wants to be for x-mas- likely on the Bills dime.
dpberr Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 This has a slight chance to beat one of this board's classic and dare I say one of its finest fables ever...George Seifert at the Airport. It really needs to take off to have a chance.
Best Player Available Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 I find it hard to believe that John Gruden would be spending Christmas in Buffalo...but you never know! Either way, anything that would get him off MNF is cool with me! Well, if your wanting a change pronto. And Chucky is your target, Gruden and the MNF cast said their goodbyes last night for the season. MNF is done for the year............So having dinner is possible, before he heads to Philly for breakfast in the morning.

Acantha Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Me, too. FWIW, I hope you're right but my first thought was similar to what 'thebandit27' posted...what about the 'Rooney Rule'? Any minority candidate interview would seem like a total sham if they really were hell bent on Gruden. We shall see, I guess. Happy holidays! The Rooney Rule itself is a sham, and it doesn't say you have to interview a minority candidate first. Just that one has to be interviewed.
BillsVet Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) #1 - Money #2 - You get a chance to pick your own QB, which is not a small deal #3 - You have some decent players to work with with )Spiller, Johnson, the D-Line, the O-line when healthy) but there's enough immediate room to make your own mark and bring in your own guys. #4 - Arrogance - all football coaches are arrogant, think they can fix everything, and honesty some like the challenge Given that I think he's a long shot but with the new lease stability you never know. Who do we think he'd tab as his coordinators? Here's my guess. OC - Marc Trestman DC - Raheem Morris ST - Bobby April after Philly cans him. It's also possible Russ was asking him about his former QBs coach in Oakland, David Shaw. A guy like Gruden wants a QB before he comes to town, not just a choice to make, (EDIT: unless there's a top QB prospect coming out and the team is able to get that player). And David Shaw just re-signed with Stanford. This is sounding more and more like the Shanahan thing after DJ was fired. Just not realistic, and if true, reminds me of what happened to Sparano in 2011 with Jim Harbaugh. Edited December 24, 2012 by BillsVet

ExWNYer Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 John Gruden, Tony Dungey, Bill Cower and Russ Brandon were seen fleeing Chippewa St in a Ford Tempo! Take it FWIW Nice!
thebandit27 Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 The Rooney Rule itself is a sham, and it doesn't say you have to interview a minority candidate first. Just that one has to be interviewed. Right, but coaches aren't stupid. If the Bills are hell-bent on getting Gruden, and may already have a deal in place to hire him, what self-respecting candidate--minority or otherwise--is going to take a sham interview? You really can't make them, and the Fritz Pollard Alliance is definitely going to play close attention to any minority interview that appears to be offered just in the interest of fulfilling a requirement.
Sweet Lou Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Its ok! I have thick skin! I feel the same! Id never post this if i heard it from someone else! But my source knows Bills football inside and out! Unfortunately; I started the rumor in the "Thurman Thomas" thread. Post # 67 @ 6:11 pm. And it was only in fun. And as a fan for almost 39 years I have to laugh to keep myself from crying.
Just in Atlanta Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 There is a better chance of Vince Lombardi coaching the Bills next season than John Gruden. So it's possible?
SACKMARINO Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 I saw Russ after the game here in Miami around 5:30pm - did he hop a cab right from the airport back in Buffalo straight to Tempo? Seems like quite the rush....
jjmac Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Right, but coaches aren't stupid. If the Bills are hell-bent on getting Gruden, and may already have a deal in place to hire him, what self-respecting candidate--minority or otherwise--is going to take a sham interview? You really can't make them, and the Fritz Pollard Alliance is definitely going to play close attention to any minority interview that appears to be offered just in the interest of fulfilling a requirement. Remember when Matt Millen hired Steve Mariucci in Detroit? He was fined $250,000.
Acantha Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Right, but coaches aren't stupid.

People have been accepting these scam interviews since the rule has been in place. There's always someone that will take it, even if just for experience. AS far as outside perception/retribution, they have no leg to stand on. Sham rule leads to sham interviews. Don't like it, get rid of the rule.
