PFT: Should Gruden be getting more heat?

This thread gonna be busy over the next couple days

I mean if this were any coach but Gruden he would be fired this offseason. I reallyyy wanted Gruden to work. He either needs to be a CEO head coach or move on IMO.

FIRE GRUDEN!!!!!!

Kicking stupid field goals and playing to lose is our biggest issue above all else.

Whether or not the D shows up, whether or not the O shows up, Gruden''s lack of balls have absolutely sabotaged this team. It's getting to the point that I'm amazed the team hasn't called a mutiny on him.

Alienating a team favorite in Mack was a bad start, but whatever, new regime blah blah blah. 

Bringing in locker room cancers like Brown and apparently Bowden, not good. Not fire worthy, but not good. 

His lack of accountability? Problematic.

His lack of accountability coupled with his objectively bad decisions in crucial situations? That's a glaring issue. We lack talent, but we've been in positions to win. We could have easily been 10-6 or 11-5 this year. While the talent may not have been there, Gruden opting for inopportune field goals and hanging onto Guenther are inching very close to throwing the players under the bus. As much as I question some of the players' talent, they don't deserve that. They get out there and bust their butts. And despite those talent deficiencies, they've gotten us in a position to win. Gruden''s calls ruined that numerous times this season.

So this is year 3 in his contract. Just saw his regular season record will be identical to his time in TB if we beat Denver next week 57-55. The next 2 years need to be playoff berths in order for him to continue imo.

Heat?? He should be getting burned at the stake after the farcical and embarrassing losses recently 😁

Hang in there, guys. Only 7 years to go.

18-29 since coming back. 63-80 since winning the Super Bowl. 

Not good enough. 

“I’ll fire myself if I can’t get it done” Jon Gruden 2018.

Now is the time Jon.

With the lack of accountability he’s taking, no way it’s happening anytime soon.

When you look at teams like Miami and Arizona who's rebuilds are ahead of schedule, it's really hard seeing the Raiders struggle so poorly. Especially when the Raiders had didn't have to find a QB.

Worse, the division is only going to get better. Herbert looks poised to be a problem in LA for years. Denver has a lot of talent and is a QB away from putting it together. 

Gruden is going to have to earn his money this offseason. After complete collapses 2 seasons in a row, how long can he keep player focused and willing to show up for you?

Right now.... this is playing out just like his final seasons in Tampa. Poor drafts, poor talent acquisition and coaching. He's not 25-41 in games in December when they count, it's not good enough.

It's almost as if building a strong defense and finding a mobile dynamic QB that can make plays out of the structure of the offense are important or something. Oh well, Gruden will stick with checkdown Charlie, and ensure our defense remains mediocre. It's literally pathetic at this point.

Serious question. How many years do you think Gruden goes before he resigns? 

I don't think his ego and brand can take much more  losing.

He has zero excuses.

He picked all of these players, both in the draft and through FA. Not only are they his players but he also traded away our young proven talent (Mack, Amari) in order to draft these guys.

Im sure he’ll come up with some excuse but he certainly can’t blame talent level unless he admits he F’d up and removes himself from player acquisition duties.
