Coaches are constantly being fired in the NFL. In most cases, they will be employed as a coach again. It doesn't mean that they were a bad coach. It just means that the results didn't come. Unfortunately, more so than in college, NFL coaches seem to have very little say in their roster as the salary cap, free agency, and accountants in the front office have a big say in who plays for you. The guy has won a Super Bowl, for heaven's sake. He's not a bad coach. Before you say "He did it with Dungy's players", consider first that the coach doesn't have a whole lot to do with who the players are, and second that even if he did, then the argument could be made that Oakland went to the Super Bowl with Gruden's players.
