Still don't get the Gruden craze. Eleven years as a head coach, winning % of .540 with three scattered years of over 10.Superbowl win..he gets credit for offensive changes, but defense (which wins championships) was all Tony Dungy. He would certainly bring some recruits because of name, but I still think that are better choices. Besides, if Dooley beats Vandy and Ky, he's here in 2013.

Still don't get the obsession with saying that Tampa Bay was Tony Dungy's team. While that may be true to some extent in that Dungy had coached most of the players the previous years, the team, coached by Gruden, won Super Bowl XXXVII, defeating the Oakland Raiders, where he had been the head coach for the previous 4 seasons. So Gruden should then get credit for the Raiders making the Super Bowl, right? And Tampa Bay still had to be coached the year they won it - doubt if Dooley could have led them to that win.
