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.

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
