Jon Gruden wants to return to coaching: ‘I’ll be ready to go

Sky King : 9/18/2024 2:15 pm

“Yeah, I’m interested in coaching,” Gruden told CBS. “My dad was a college coach, I was a college coach at Pitt, my wife was a cheerleader at Tennessee when I met her. Hell yeah, I’m interested in coaching. I know I can help a team, I know I can help young players get better, and I know I can hire a good staff, and that’s the only thing I can guarantee. But yeah, I’m very interested in coaching at any level, period.”

That’s your takeaway?

said in his private emails to Bruce Allen, but the league/Goodell put a bounty on Gruden and definitely leaked those emails to drive him out of the league.

Maybe because he knows where the bodies are buried?

Oh shit. I didn't think of that at all.
the Gruden story remains  
Dnew15 : 9/18/2024 3:28 pm : link
one of the craziest I've ever heard.

I can't believe that people weren't all up in arms over it.

Maybe enough time has passed where the NFL will let him back in...if he's learned his lesson.
One thing I learned about Steve Howe & Steve Phillips  
GiantBlue : 9/18/2024 3:31 pm : link
Sports has a short memory and ultimately everyone is welcome back.

Marv Albert, etc. the list goes on!

So if Gruden can turn this franchise around and work with a rookie QB we draft this spring?????

Sign me up!

His record is better than any of the last 4 coaches that were hired. He has 2 super bowl appearances, 1 Lombardi trophy. If the Giants make a change at HC, I'd be very interested in him
how crazy would it be if we hired Flores.  
Dinger : 9/18/2024 4:19 pm : link
I feel like thats a mistake that Mara would definitely make. Not because I KNOW Flores would be bad but if he were, itd be an absolute nightmare we'd be saddled with for longer than 3 years.
With the Flores lawsuit...

and the derogatory statements Gruden made about DeMaurice Smith, there would be NFW Mara even considers Gruden.
Nope  
crackerjack465 : 9/18/2024 5:54 pm : link
He was about to go 4 years without seeing the playoffs in Oakland. Not even getting all that close.

Post superbowl, he has just as many 10+ win seasons as Brian Daboll does.

Yeah, he did win a Superbowl but that was in 2002.

This is right. Disappointing because Gruden was a good head coach. Hard to believe he self-destructed the way he did. No way he gets an opportunity here.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 9/18/2024 6:34 pm : link
I was ever a huge fan of Gruden in the moment, but looking @ his coaching record...gotta admit it was better than what I had thought.
He was good on TV

I liked him in the booth and interviewing quarterbacks.

He is an effective coach. Knows quarterbacks. Could care less about his NFL pissing matches.

Gruden has in 14 coaching seasons with 2 different teams:  
PatersonPlank : 9/18/2024 7:48 pm : link
5 Division Championships
5 playoff appearances
1 SB Victory
2 AFC Championship games (out of the 5 appearances)

His last 3 seasons in Oak/LV he took a 4-12 team and had them at 8-8 two seasons later. Then he resigned, but once again he was building a team into a winner.

Plus lets not forget he won the SB with Dilfer, not Brady, etc.

Gruden won...

This is true but check out his last six full seasons of coaching.

2006: 4-12
2007: 9-7
2008: 9-7
(Huge gap)
2018: 4-12
2019: 7-9
2020: 8-8

Screams average to me. This is a guy we think will resurrect this franchise? Not to mention, he’s been out of the league for several years now.

Because he shit all over Goodell. It's clear as day that Goodell put that hit out on him. See the link

Dilfer won with Baltimore. Brad Johnson is same difference though so point taken.
It would be hard to imagine his team

Definitely. They wanted a few scalps, and Gruden’s emails were an easy target. That said, I wouldn’t go anywhere near him. A very good offensive coach back in the day, but those days are long past.
