BayRaider Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'm not super stoked about Gruden (if we do get him) like all of you have said, 10 years is a long time. And we've tried the Gruden approach once and it ended abruptly. So if we're hiring him so he can "finish what he started" that would be a really bad mindset. However, if Mark Davis really thinks it's the best fit, I'm totally on board. One thing is for certain, it would be the best Head Coaching hiring this organization has made since the original Jon Gruden hiring. Which does make me quite excited. Also you guys can't be serious with the whole, his 10 year old offense won't work anymore, his scheme is old, etc. Of course he would have a completely different scheme. Maybe some of the same basic concepts but completely reworked for today's game. Definitely not giving the man enough credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I do not understand the Gruden obsession in both college and the NFL. He could have had any number of jobs in the last decade. He chose to be a professional talker instead. And he got fired from his last team and the players hated him because he was a tyrant. IIRC Del Rio completely checked out in Jacksonville. Showed up late. Left early. Should have never gotten another job. And firing his OC after last year was stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some one mentioned it in another thread but with the success of Romo, PeyPey seems like he would be a gold mine for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had back to back winning seasons once in his career, and that included a 9-7 season. Last year, he relied on MVP caliber play from Derek Carr and Khalil Mack to carry the team to 12 wins. Seriously the amount of games Carr pulled out at the end of the game was staggering. It wasn't due to great coaching. The defense, JDRs forte, has been trash for all 3 years Del Rio has been here. He badly mismanaged the coordinator hires/fires. It was time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
