bucsfan333 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Welp. If Gruden is the guy, what kind of staff does he assemble? I haven't really looked up his old coordinators or anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really looked up his old coordinators or anything yet. I think it depends on what kind of defence we want to run. Bradley would be a good fit in some capacity. Marinelli seems to be highly regarded in Dallas, so he’s unlikely to be available. http://www.bucpower.com/2008coaches.html This is Gruden’s last staff in Tampa. There’s quite a lot of guys who’ve done well in the league and quite a few who have bounced around the league in fairly low level positions. The biggest issue is affordability. If we fire Koetter, could we reasonably pay Gruden and Jay Gruden as OC (for example), while also paying Koetter and Smith not to coach the team?

bucsfan333 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Michael Christianson is a guy Gruden brought in for the oline in 02. He's coached every offensive group except QB and WR. He's coaching high school now. But only as a coordinator. Jeremy Bates was our offensive quality control guy in 02. He's got a lot of work with QBs with us, the Jets, the Broncos, USC, and Chicago. He was the Seahawks' OC in 2010. Everyone else is too old or in a position where we wouldn't be able to steal them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Olson is the QBs coach for the Rams. We could probably steal him away to be our OC. Which I think would be a big *** circle of sorts. Weren't there some who wanted him as our HC a while back? Am I remembering that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Joe Barry is with the Rams too. He's worked with defense (LBs specifically) forever. He's actually the assistant HC in LA right now. He's been here twice. Gruden is familiar with him. He was a DC in Detroit from 07-08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Jay Gruden would opt for a coordinator position. I saw something about Cincy wanting him back to replace Marvin Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe a coach has to recognize coaching talent and project what they could become just like a player. If Gruden is the guy, he has had some access to coaching staffs throughout the league. I think one of his best selling points to the Glazers is that he can assemble a quality staff. I was certainly wrong about this current staff.

bucsfan333 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 I think Olson would be a good OC if we do sign Gruden. Look what he did for Goff, who EVERYONE (except jrry) thought was gonna be out of the league sooner rather than later. And he did it in one off-season. And it would let Gruden run most of the offense while Olson works mostly with Jameis. And Olson has been coaching the whole time Gruden's been gone, so that dichotomy would help too.

BucsDraftGeek47 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 am i the only one that thinks it would be so cool if we got both Grudens? in that scenario idk who the D coordinator would be also in that scenario i think Licht should keep the job, hes way better scout than Bruce allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
