If we don't get Gruden the next coach will be a huge disappointment whoever he is.
I posted this the other day, but this is a more approriate topic:
Why Gruden? He's done nothing that should make us believe he is a sure fire guaranteed success! Have no problem with him as the coach if 2-3 of the other names say no. He'll bring some fire with him and will recruit well. But those things will both be short lived if he can't win ballgames, something he has not proven he can do with consistency. He's not been on a college FB sideline in over 20yrs (then only a grad asst mind you). Then as an NFL HC went 40-28 in Oakland, pretty good but that still only got him in the playoffs with nothing to show for the appereances. Then after winning the SB his first year in Tampa thanked Dungy publicly in the postgame SB ceremony (not to mention W.Sapp and several other Tampa players spoke out giving credit to Dungy). The next two seasons he went 7-9 and 5-11. There are significantly better choices out there.
