Didn't see that one coming...

The reason they tanked wasn't Gruden, it was their D, which was being coached by a guy that had no interest in being there at that point. Gruden took the fall because Kiffin pretty much quit as soon as his son became head man at UT.

A lot of good coaches are without jobs right now.

Why did they wait so long? He could have been out interviewing for the latest round of jobs.

Dumb Dumb Dumb

WOW I am stunned! I love the Bucs and don't like this at all. I thought they did a really good job without a lot of talent on offense. The D is young and imporving. Makes me wonder if they have been talking to Shannahan and wanted him before he got snatched up.

I'd love to see Dallas or Cincy pick him up.

I'd love to see him go back to Oakland.

 

Later.

Wow..Shocking.

The Bucs were 9-3 at one point before losing their last 4 games. Bad move IMO

I have always liked Jon Gruden. I wonder how soon he will be snapped up?

Soon I'm sure. He and Mike Shannahan won't be collecting an unemployment check for very long.

PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE, WITH CHERRIES ON TOP GO TO DENVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Denver already has their coach, the OC from New England if you didn't know....

Not a surprise after the fade/choke job.
