Is Jon Gruden the best fit?

Gruden is good for one year to take a transitional team, coach them well and instill some discipline. After that first year though he will become an idiot and attempt to buy up every over 32 veteran that is "one of his guys". Thereby setting a franchise back by decades (i.e. Tampa Bay, Oakland).

Only if he has a puppet GM like he did in Tampa. I think Gruden would make a good HC given a good GM that can handle the personel for him.

Things that are never a good idea if you run a professional football team:

#1- Fire your HC that is bad at making adjustments, doesn't do well coming up with an offensive game plan, chews too much bubblegum for excercise, can not win year to year consistently, and is living off an achievement from over 6 years ago. Then turn around and hire the guy that could never beat the HC you just fired and is living off an achievement that happened almost 10 years ago.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
