/dev/null Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 NBC Wild Card Halftime show just confirmed Gruden to Raiders
Fadingpain Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Gruden's Schtick on MNF became boring and tiresome. For such an acclaimed football genius, I didn't even find his commentary to be particularly insightful or informative. So let's hope the vacancy he creates is filled with someone better. 1
Doc Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I wouldn't put too much stock in what Chris Simms says. If anything, Gruden's going to be in for a rude awakening because he's not taking over a team with a great defense, or even an average one.

That has nothing to do with Simms' point of what Gruden will demand from Carr as the QB.

Mack's not from Buffalo and was probably pissed they passed on him. I doubt he comes here. 33 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: That has nothing to do with Simms' point of what Gruden will demand from Carr as the QB. Simms wasn't a good QB. How he treated Simms versus how he treats Carr could be completely different. And maybe he's learned from it.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 8, 2018 Author Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Good thing Reggie McKenzie is still around unless Mark Davis has already granted too much authority to Gruden. Edited January 8, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz
Peter Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 I may be one of the few, but I will miss the Gruden QB Camp. I always thought it was fun and interesting. I like Gruden. I tend to like guys that have some personality. It should be fun to have him back in the league. 1

Won a Super Bowl with Dungy's team. Against a team he knew extremely well. Even if he was something special a decade ago, a decade is a long time to be out of any game and NFL HC is a particularly brutal demanding job. He may think he wants another go, but is he still really prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally to put in what it takes after so long in a cushy broadcast booth, sleeping at home most of the week? That was the real problem with Rex IMHO: I think he really retired mentally and physically in 2011, but he wasn't prepared emotionally to give it up. Edited January 9, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan

John from Riverside Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 This could blow up in their face much the way the beast mode thing did.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 10, 2018 Author Posted January 10, 2018 Good decision. Why give up the comparatively easier job as an analyst for CBS.
