I wonder if TBMODIV had anything to do with this

Woah. That's a shocker. Kind of dumb to wait so long after the end of the regular season.

That team will be totally different next year, and probably pretty awful. No Monte Kiffin (their defense mailed it in for a month straight as soon as he announced he was bolting for Univ. of Tennessee to work with his son), no Gruden, Garcia could be gone, Derrick Brooks is nearing the end...

Now, if they bring in Mike Shanahan as GM/head coach and are willing to spend a big portion of the $40M+ worth of cap room they have, it could be quite interesting.

LOL. That is a shocker though. They should have beat the Raiders in Week 17. I figured they must have had a big name lined up to take over as coach/GM, Pete Carroll for example. But I guess not. I guess it was time for a change though. Bruce Allen was never all that impressive, and everyone around here always talks about how hated Gruden is.

I'll bet other teams that were looking for coaches sort of wished they had the opportunity to interview Gruden though.

I bet Dan Synder is breaking out in hives with all the big name coaches avaliable. I'm wondering if someone is in his office holding him away from his phone so he won't call in Jim Zorn and fire him. LOL

He already did that last year. Z is there because everyone else laughed in Danny's face.

Stupid ass comment from stupid ass people. This stuff is old and if its all you can post about go to a Dallas site. Just some where else.

Very surprised.

Ruhskins · 01-16-2009, 06:53 PM

Wow, Chucky is gone. I wonder what he will do now? Become a coordinator??

GTripp0012 · 01-16-2009, 06:53 PM

Coach the Raiders?

Trample the Elderly · 01-16-2009, 06:55 PM

I hope that Tampa blows up. I've hated them for a long time.

Oakland fans would be thrilled about that. Bill Callahan took Gruden's Raider team to the Super Bowl that, ironically, Gruden won with a Tampa Bay team that had Tony Dungy written all over it.

Then shouldn't the Colts be calling Gruden any day now? LOL. To Pick up where Dungy left off. Again.

I could see it already.

I bet they go after Shanahan or they promote Raheem Morris.
