Does Anybody Miss Jon Gruden?

[TheGlennonCannon]

I am a fan of Raheem Morris and I didn't mind seeing Jon Gruden go, but does anybody ever miss Gruden? Just wondering.

Only in the sense that he's an interesting personality...which we still get to see on Monday nights. Don't miss anything about his coaching.

Yeah that's pretty much how I feel as i watch monday night football lol

No. I'd miss his personality, except for the fact that I get to listen to him every Monday night. And since he isn't slowly eroding the team season by season, I'd say it's the perfect fit.

Thought I would. But I don't. I thought I'd miss the conservative, play not to lose, mentality. But we still have that!

Excited to see what other players MD can bring in here next year and what this Morris D will look like with the missing parts in place. Also wouldn't mind a DC.

*completes 2-yard drag on 3rd and 11*

*punts*

*defense gets ball back*

*completes 4-yard out on 3rd and 8*

*punts*

Repeat until the defense gives us good enough field position for a field goal.

At first I really did miss him and was against him getting fired. Now as time has gone on and I look back I can't say I do miss him. All of these rookies who have been key players never would of been given the chance to play and prove themselves. It would be Laveranues Coles starting not Mike Williams.

If you want the answer to this question, just look at the number of seat tickets sold when Gruden was coach compared to now.

The difference is that the Glazers were buying up those empty seats when Gruden was still here. They finally realized that their band-aid approach to avoiding blackouts was as fruitless as Gruden's band-aid approach to filling the roster.

If you really believe there are the same number of season tickets sold in 2010 as there were in 2008, you are completely naive.

No, I enjoy having a franchise QB to look forward to and not a tough training camp battle that leads to midseason shuffling between Jeff Garcia and Brian Griese.

Of course there isn't. Once everyone's 10-yr seat license deposit was used up, they started bailing. That's the primary reason people were still buying season tickets once the post-Super-Bowl Era of Mediocrity set in.

Who cares what's going on in the stands? What's important is what's happening on the field. Gruden filled in the holes and won one SB. After that he slowly destroyed the team. Why would anybody miss that? Gruden might be a great OC (I question that), but he knows nothing about building a team from scratch or even maintaining a decent team. It amazes me that his name pops up every time a HC gets fired. Gruden is where he belongs. He is a media personality who has some insight to the workings of the game, that's all. He can't relate to the players. Raheem Morris can, and more importantly, the players can relate to him.

No, I don't miss Jon Gruden, not at all.
