    I thought he was pretty decent when he left coaching. Every year since them he’s seemed more and more disconnected from reality. The past few years he’s sounded more like a raving lunatic to me than an NFL coach. I think he’s going to fail.

    He was a decent coach, but there is no way he's worth 10 years and $100 million. The Gruden legend, fueled by his incessant media presence, is much bigger than the Gruden reality.

    Boston globe has him over 10, i'm sure with incentives he's getting over 10, hell nick saban is making 11 mill a year at the college level so its not hard to believe BB is getting over 10.....

    That makes sense. Cheating, or not, He's taken his team to the SB 7 times and won 5. What has Gruden done? 1 SB win a hundred years ago. I did read that his contract is heavy on the back end. He might not last 10 years to collect all that money!

    He was always a raving lunatic as a coach and that's probably what made him so damn good. He's intense and borderline obsessive. He would be at the stadium at 3:30 am 7 days a week and he was also the last guy to leave most days.

    Gruden as an announcer says what he needs to say to create buzz and entertain viewers. He hasn't forgotten how to coach, and it's not like he was a Jeff Fisher type, who won't succeed in a pass happy offence.

    Gruden will be just fine. He knows football.

    There's plenty of hard nosed coaches in the NFL. Brady regularly gets his ass chewed out by Belichek, as do all other Pats. It would be one thing if Gruden chewed guys out just for the sake of doing it, but he does it to educate them, to make them better players and it works. He was always a good coach and I'm sure he'll be successful in Oakland

    I think I read, first 5 years 25 million, after that I think both sides have clause's in contract?

    Glad I am not the only one.


    When I first heard him on Monday Night Football five years ago, I muted the TV. Since then, me and my friends essentially commentate on Monday Night Football games all together.


    Do you know who is going to replace him?

    Replace him on MNF, or replace him as Raiders coach in 2 years?
