Same here.

When he signed that contract w/ ESPN, I figured he did it for leverage in contract negotiations with whatever team wanted him.

So SmootSmack... who is our next coach? Any wispers of things to come? Will it be Gruden? Or another guy?

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Cerrato resigns
 

Wow, I didn't expect to see any movements until beginning of the off season!! But this is good news though, it's time to change the scenario, always have been for a while..

Speaking of Bruce Allen, I'm not really familiar with his history beside being GM for Raiders and Tampa Bay.. Could anyone please explain me? I'm not entirely excited about this move yet; Allen was a GM for Tampa Bay when Gruden was coach, if I can recall right, Tampa Bay team wasn't so good at that time?

Considering Allen's draft record, I have to ask - Why?

re: BREAKING NEWS: Cerrato resigns (Bruce Allen hired as VP/GM) - merged
 

I think Zorn will remain as coach for the remainder of the season and then the search will be on. Holmgren won't come as the GM role has been filled, Shanahan will not come as the GM role has been filled, Cowher won't come as the GM role has been filled. I think it's either sticking with Zorn or bringing in Gruden who really runs the same offensive scheme.

I've been a big supporter of the idea that bringing in a new GM now is the best way to go. What better way for a GM to evaluate an org than during the season. He can see how the coaches do their jobs and get a real understanding of whether the players are playing for them and he can evaluate real live game action rather than just tape. Now is the time to me. Good move.

It's also important as alot of teams are already working on the 2010 draft! The earlier the better I think.
