The return of Jon Gruden

Anyone else watch Hard Knocks last night? My buddies and I were talkin' and one of the main things we took away is that Jon Gruden is coming back to coach next year. 

Picture this - For whatever reason, the Panthers fail to make the playoffs again this year. Jerry has had enough of Ron and Shula and cleans house to make way for a new GM. Jon already loves Charlotte. What better way for him to come back than to step into a situation with a former MVP quarterback in his prime and a top defense along with a new General Manager.

Is it too crazy? I don't think so.

He's been away forever and has a cush TV gig. I'd be shocked if he returns to coaching a team this point.

It really did sound like he was serious about coaching again.

Word on the street is BoB's seat in Houston is pretty hot. That'd be a good situation as well.

Dude always talks like that. Like the previous poster said, it's part of how he keeps his name relevant. The guy's been out of coaching so long that younger fans probably need a reminder that he actually used to be an NFL head coach.

Hated him as a coach in TB.

I really like him as an announcer, and would be disappointed to see him come back to coaching, as he gives great insight during his broadcasts.

I would not be happy if he came here. I am not a fan of his coaching style. His verbiage is over complicated, and for being an offensive coach, I feel his teams consistency produced.

I'll never understand why everyone thinks Gruden is a great coach and wants him on their team. 

He won the Super Bowl his first year in Tampa on the back of Monte Kiffins defense and spent the rest of his time running the team into the ground.  He is a supposedly offensive minded coach but his offenses dinished in the bottom half of the league every year.

Not to mention his players hated him. Just look at the laundry list of former players who had nothing but bad things to say about him.

No thanks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
