Gruden to Tampa Bay
 

Well, the drama may in fact be over. It looks like the Bucs are signing Gruden to a 5-year deal, not sure what the compensation to the Raiders will be.

After the clusterfu*k that has been this coaching search, I guess it could only a be a coach who worked under Al Davis who would choose to go into the Tampa Bay situation.

Whoa! I was hearing that it was Steve Mariucci, not Chucky. :eek:

Tampa Bay embarrassed itself big-time with this one. All that drama...

Re: Re: Gruden to Tampa Bay
 

That's what I thought too. I like Mariucci. What's gonna happen to him now?

By the way, did Carolina get a coach? I can't remember with all the moves lately...

Re: Re: Re: Gruden to Tampa Bay
 

Carolina hired a guy named John Fox, who was the New York Giants' defensive coordinator. I think Fox, because he's not a big name, was overshadowed in all the other stuff.

I think Mooch (Mariucci) is going to stay in SF, for now. What I wonder is whether SF is going to trade Terrell Owens, who didn't get along with Mariucci.

Now, I wonder what will happen with the Raiders, because managing general partner "Alice" Davis just can't seem to keep good coaches.

Remember, years ago, he thought Mike Shanahan couldn't coach. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the update!

CHUCKY! hahaha - so true . . .

you thought the Gruden face was key in oaktown? Wait til Alstott fumbles 3 times in one quarter, or keyshawn johnson doesn't run a pattern out and ends up costing them a first down . . . Gruden will go apeshit by week 2, i guarantee

gruden is an awesome coach, and he'll do good things at tampa. I think after all the things tony dungy did for tampa, he got screwed over.

Not to mention if Warren Sapp talks more than he produces on the field. I don't think that the Chuckster would be awfully tolerant of that mess. :p
