Kornheiser out/Gruden in on MNF

[ArtMonkDrillz]

I'm a little surprised that ESPN would want a guy who may only be there for a short time. I would think that Gruden would like to get back into coaching sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I was thinking that also. I can't see Gruden being out of work for more than a year or so. Maybe he sees that he's 4th best of the 'big name' coaches out there for '10 (Cowher, Shanahan, Holmgren, Gruden) and wants to at least have something lined up in the interim.

I did not think Gruden was all that great on NFLN during the draft, but if he stays in the job I am sure he will improve. If I were going to poach someone from NFLN I would have taken Marshall Faulk. He was not very good when he started there, but he has really made himself into an excellent commentator.

I think that you could say that about all of the former players and coaches on NFLN. Woodson, Prime, Mooch, Kennedy, Dukes, Billick, they were all terrible at first.

I actually like Gruden during the draft stuf on the NFLN. He seemed to find the postive side of each pick or issue they talked about. We allready get enough negative feedback from the other guys.

I watched ESPN for the most part but when I flipped it to NFLN or watched the recap shows of the draft I thought he did a pretty good job for his first time. I think his personality will be great for the MNF booth and hes a HUGE upgrade over Kornheiser.

I think Kornheiser only had one comment I really loved in his time on MNF:

"Joe Gibbs is to Washington what Rocky Balboa is to Philadelphia, except he's real."

LOL!
