Pete Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 ridiculous. Tampa overachieved this year and Gruden is a coach I would love to play for. He would do wonders for Trent. Get him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasin's BILLS Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Wow, I'm shocked! But don't care. Well there could be a victory on the schedule for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lets_go_bills Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 They also canned their GM. Wow. Wonder why they waited this long. Needless to say I'm shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maefster88 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Gruden is my favorite coach in the NFL. Love the guys work ethic and personality, and i like the way he expects perfection in his offense and is tough on his players. Would be perfect for the Bills...to bad its too late, not to mention his price tag. Maybe Russ Brandon likes him more than me (fingers crossed, highly highly doubting it). Hopefully he takes a year off and is a possibility in the future (dreamland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Isn't it funny how *after* we hear of Jauron's retention that guys like Shanahan & Gruden become available? This is going to be the popular vogue thing to say this offseason..."we could have had Dungy, Cowher, Shannahan or Gruden" when it's not even remotely close to a reality that could have happened. Neither Dungy, Cowher and Shannahan will not coach this year, so even if we fired DJ we will not have gotten either of them. I suspect Gruden will likely take a season off too. Bottom line is that all of you "FIRE DJ" guys should be estatic we didnt fire DJ this year as 2010 is shaping to be the greatest pool of available coaches the NFL as ever seen as 4 of the winnigest coaches of all time will likely be available still and looking to coach again (Dungy, Shannahan, Cowher and Holmgren) plus other standouts now like Gruden and Marty. There will be far fewer openings next year as they were this year given how many changes were made this year, so any of these coaches seriously wanting to come back into the league in 2010 will have to give us real consideration as we will be one of few openings if we fire DJ after this year (which we will unless he gets us in the post season) and probably an attractive spot as a team with some solid young talent. I dont want to hear about how we could have had any of these coaches this year as that is not even close to true as they dont want to coach this next year. Well, we dont yet know how Gruden feels yet, but I suspect he takes a year off like most coaches of his caliber do, however, that is irrelevant in Ralph's decision to keep DJ anyway since Gruden just got fired today and it was somewhat of a surprise.

I think the Jets will call Gruden. Could you imagine if Oakland brought him back!? Pioli could can Herm and try Jon. And he could also be lured by the chance to coach Jackson, Holt and Bulger in St. Louis. I think he'll very much be in the mix with other teams this year. But he may opt for time off and come back next year, but then again why would he wanna compete with Shanny and Cowher for jobs next year? We'll see. I just wish it was our team in the mix of looking at these guys. Maybe next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 There is only one person anyone should want as the Bills next head coach...

cowtippur Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Gruden would be an improvement. A lot of others on here that I've read about I can't say that about. I would love Ralphie to say he was wrong, get rid of Jauron, and hire Gruden. However, we would definitely be getting a new QB, since Gruden likes older veterans.

It was on the Shredd and Ragan show, I think. It was awesome, he believes in "nasty, fightin, snot-nosed meanies in the trenches." Or somethin like that. He knows it's all about the boys up front.

todd Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Why? Because he stockpiles QBs and can only win when someone else builds his team? Or maybe because he screams on the sidelines real well? I'm not sure those are good traits of a head coach. He sucks, and deserved to be fired. I would love to have him as a head coach here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
