They looked OLD and tired at the end of the year....you ain't ever gonna win squat with Jeff Garcia at QB either.

Since that first year, after they won the SuperBowl, what is his record in the playoffs?

The Raiders need to rehire Chucky and Bruce Allen immediately!!! Then again I said they shouldn't draft Jamarcus Russell. :roll:

If Gruden doesn't mind cold weather, I think Detroit will be looking for a new coach soon. Oh, nevermind the one they just hired, he'll be reduced to a quivery mass in no time at all...just like the rest of 'em... :roll:

So are there any takers for L.T. ? Sounds like his days in San Diego are over (and not through any decision of his).

I think I heard he hasn't won a playoff game since that superbowl!!

Too bad Denver already hired McDaniels...

Angel, Gruden would be perfect for the Broncos!!! Good call...

by **Luvsaugeri** » Sun Jan 18, 2009 12:45 am

McDaniels is a local Canton boy. I watched him play quarterback in high school. I'm really hoping he does well.

The Browns thought about hiring him so I'm interested to see how he does with the Broncos. Most people that leave the Browns or the Browns don't hire.....do well!! :lol:

by **Angel** » Sun Jan 18, 2009 12:52 am

It will be interesting to see what McDaniels does. I liked Shanahan but they were stuck in a rut so the change will be good.

No they won't.

GLAZERS DID THEIR HOMEWORK ON GRUDEN

A league source tells us that the decision of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to fire coach Jon Gruden came after ownership spent a couple of weeks collecting feedback from players regarding Gruden.

Per the source, a lot of the veterans were providing unflattering feedback as to their boss.

“He would say something to a player one day and the next do the total opposite,” the source said. “When he would cut guys, he wasn’t man enough to talk with them and guys thought that was cowardly.”

Those sentiments are consistent with things receiver Michael Clayton said in the wake of the move.

“It’s about showing more confidence in your players,” Clayton said. “He was kind of a turncoat. He’d tell you one thing and then do something else.”

It’s fairly safe to say that the Glazers also were collecting information from players – and hearing good things — about Raheem Morris, who reportedly has already been hired to replace Gruden. Otherwise, there’s no way that Morris would have gotten the job so quickly.
