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.

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.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
