Im going to go ahead and say Jon Gruden.

I have been on the Bill Cowher bandwagon for years now but I see that I was wrong in my ways. IF we can convince Ron Meeks to stay on and coach this defense then we need to go after Gruden RATHER than Bill Cowher.

Is Cowher a great coach? Yeah.

BUT he isn't a great offensive mind and that is what we need in this new NFL that we have today. Our defense is loaded with talent. IF we can keep a good Tampa-2 mind in there to run it then we will continue to be good with the personnel that we have.

Gruden is the best offensive mind out there along with Shanahan, Payton and Andy Reid at the HC level. So here are my reasons to go out and hire Gruden.

1. He's a player's coach. Which we need for a team that is as young as we are.

2. He's familiar with the NFCS (and wants badly to punish the Bucs)

3. He's going to actually build the rest of this offense in the draft.

- I wouldn't be surprised if Fox pulled the trigger on a DL at the top of this draft instead of going with AJ Green. It just wouldn't shock me at all.

4. He won't be afraid mix it up and go for the jugular rather than playing it safe and playing not to lose.

5. Bill Cowher has the EXACT SAME MENTALITY as John Fox. We need a change from the "win with defense and let hopefully the offense will score some points too." The league is becoming WAY too complex on offense. Even in a supposed "defensive battle" between the Jets and Dolphins last night you saw 54 combined points. We NEED offense badly and all Cowher is going to do is bring in more defense.

6. Gruden will develop Clausen and mentor him rather than having Cowher's hands-off approach (Cowher and Berg didn't get along AT ALL in Pitt).

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there are a couple of things you are wrong on.

1) Players HATED playing for Gruden...he was definetly NOT a players coach!

2) Gruden never really developed any good QB's he brought in so Many QB's in TB it was just funny

BTW, just in case everyone that picked Gruden missed it, have you noticed the shape the last two teams he has coached for is in?

Just sayin........

Thanks for the input! Very valid points. I am a Bucs and Panthers fan, I lived in both areas long periods of time in my life, so don't hate me. I lean more towards the panthers now because I live in charlotte.

When Dungy was let go I wasn't happy, but I knew it was for the best. When they brought Gruden I was thrilled b/c of the success I saw him have with the Raiders and his young risque offensive minded attitude... I would honestly be happy with Cowher, Harbaugh or Gruden. Gruden was a good fit for tampa since their D coordinator Monte Kiffin was top notch. I know Dungy built the team but Gruden took it to the next level, hence a superbowl championship with a sub-par offense. I am just not sure if Gruden has the ability to grow our young team.

Cowher or Harbaugh are my top picks...

      Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)

      Is it possible for someone to regress in maturity as they age or has Steve really just been a jerk his entire life?
