But after those first 5 games, the rest of the year, you saw a guy who could adapt. They did finish his first season 8-8 after starting 0-5. The only adapting Gruden has done through a full year plus the start of his second is he isnt so negative in his press conferences. Im hoping he can figure it out, but so far, he is showing no halftime changes or any changes to his offense to fit personnel better. He is showing he knows 1 system and very little changes even within his system when it calls for it. I do find it scary that in-game changes are minimal and changes to his system is none regardless of who is playing, which is why I call him a play caller and not a coach.
