GRUDEN NOT SAFE YET IN TAMPA

Most league observers assume that Bucs coach Jon Gruden won't be fired by the team because, to date, he hasn't been.

But a league source tells us that the Glazer family, which owns the team, has some lingering concerns regarding the current structure, and that "something still could happen" with Gruden.

What that "something" is remains to be seen. Maybe he would be fired, maybe he would be allowed to leave. We continue to intrigued by the possibility that the Chargers, Ravens, and/or Colts (at least one of which will lose this weekend) could consider making a change. Given the manner in which Gruden arrived at Tampa and took a chronically close-but-no-cigar club to a championship in one year, we wouldn't be shocked at all if someone considers making a switch to the perpetually pissed-off coach.

Of course, the problem is that, if one of these other teams makes a move, they'll need to hold the cards close to the vest, since compliance with the Rooney Rule is mandatory.

Five years ago, Gruden jumped to the Bucs from the Raiders. Oakland got two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and $8 million. http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm

I would be pissed if the chargers got him.

[AirRaid]

I was thinking the same thing.

Hell no, his team blew up a late game and won pretty convincingly.
That game was his player's vote of confidence, it was give up time and they put it to an opponent.
This is all smoke.

Cameron would get the Chargers job.

I respect Gruden but if he became the Dolts HC i would dispise him.

I dont think this is legit. His whole staff is coaching the senior bowl, why would they commit the organization if they knew this?

[The Shocker]

damn gruden may be done

[Mr.Murder]

This is BS, some teams are putting junk out on the line and seeing who is dumb enough to bite. PFT.com is playing the rube. This kind of stuff could hurt online site credibility as a whole and is why it is being done.

Exactly..Gruden will be in Tampa for at least another year...Rumor mill.

[RealRaider]

I won't believe it until Grudens little titty boy Mortensen starts talking about it on ESPN. Then you know the two of them have figured out a way to get him another job somewhere else.

Did he say "little titty boy"! EPIC!

[AirRaiders]

Gruden can come right back over to the silver and black as far as I'm concerned. If he was fired and I was Al I would back the brinks truck up and sign him to a long term deal.
