The next coach might be a skidmark. He also may be great but Gruden is definitely not holding the magic beans. So how long do you wait before you spin the wheel again? Gruden has been here for a while now, and i am hard pressed to think of one big game that any of his teams have won.

Gruden has been here 4 years. Year one he inherited a team that went 4-12, and we have had a "winning record" since. This year we should finish either 9-7 or 10-6. That's pretty good in the NFL today. And I think we have seen lots of young talent stepping up in the heat of the games.
He may turn out to be a perennial 9-7 guy, but all it takes is a light switch or two going on and he could be a lot better.
