Gruden...

Anyone think Gruden learned something from being fired in Tampa? If he was the same as he was in Tampa then I would agree wholeheartedly that we don't need him. But after having success as a young coach which pretty much went to his head, and being very difficult to play for and coach with, he may have learned something from being fired. If that is the case, then I would definitely consider him from an offensive point of view. He might know more about offenses and how to create a successful NFL spread offense than most anyone out there. After he got fired he spent 9 months going to NFL and college teams studying the spread offense and how to meld it into an effective NFL offense. Frankly he could leave Meeks in place which is our version of Monte Kiffin and things would likely be fine on the defensive side.

He also coached Brett Farve, pretty sure he can coach our young QB's up.

He was an offensive assistant and WR coach for 3 years in Green Bay. This was 2 years before their Super Bowl runs. He's had success with 2 QBs in the Pros. Brad Johnson and Rich Gannon, both who were 10 year Vets when he had them.

Probably the only young QB he has "developed" is Chris Simms.

Say no to Chuckie!

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
