Price Tag for Gruden

According to sources:

@AUS10SPORTS Yep. $8-$10mil per, fully guaruneed 5 year+ deal with full control still might not get it done.

— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) December 20, 2016

I know at any moment I will wake up from this beautiful dream of Jon Gruden being named the new head coach for the Carolina Panthers to the nightmare of us potentially losing both key defensive coaches with Shula retaining his duties.  Sources say Gruden essentially wants to be the highest paid coach in football and have full control over the team.  I know there isn't a snowball chance in hell but it makes my man parts tingle with day dreaming of Gruden fiercely coaching our beloved Panthers.  Makes me slightly aroused to think of Cam throwing a boneheaded pass that is picked off and Gruden going over and ripping into him to get this sh*&^ together on the sideline.  Gruden was infatuated with Newton coming out of college at his Gruden QB camp.  Always talks highly of Cam when broadcasting our games.  Would be the perfect fit IMO of handling Cam's personality and progressing his QB Skills. 

Then I woke up from this dream and saw no news of Shula being canned. 

Keep Pounding!!!

He doesn't want to coach. He's happy with his media job. Gets to stay involved with football but doesn't have the stress and responsibilities of actually coaching. Pretty sweet setup. He already has his Super Bowl ring.

This pretty much confirms it. No team is going to commit to $40-50M for a coach who has been out of coaching for as long as he has, but if theu are, Gruden will sign that contract and why not? I'll gladly embarrass myself and prove I'm an idiot who can't coach a football team out of a wet paper sack if you're willing to give me that much money.

Just now, L-TownCat said:

Shula getting canned is the good part.

 

The weird part is why Gruden?

Why? 

His team steadily declined after winning with Dungy's group.

He also beat his former team in the Raiders who inexplicably still used his plays and defensive calls in the Super Bowl. How fuging stupid can you be?

I think people like the idea of Gruden coaching much more than they would actually like him coaching.

He was gifted a super bowl with a team built by Tony Dungy and proceeded to get progressively worse as the years went on in Tampa.

Why anyone would want him as their head coach is beyond me.

Jon gruden inherited a team stacked with hall of famers and gradually let it erode as he blew pick after pick on total trash. 

He installed a dink and dunk west coast attack using such luminaries as Brad Johnson, Jeff Garcia, and fifty five carries a game from Carnell Williams. 

If gruden was hired he'd draft a bust left tackle, send off cam from peanuts, and sign jay cutler to compete with Brad gradkowski. 

Like opinions on gruden are a great barometer for whether a person watches espn or knows anything about football.

    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
    • The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
