Gruden is looking to make a coaching return... Norv Turner is looking at unemployment

[Denver Mike]

So far... the math is starting to add up to a very crappy equation....


Please somebody tell me that I'm not being realistic..

please?

I think Gruden will be coaching the Jets in 2013. I think this will be Rex's last year as the Jets' HC, and we all know how much Gruden loves Tebow.

Gruden should have been hired by the Browns rather than Shurmur.

[broncoFan!]

Rex Ryan might be snatched up as some team's d-coordinator. He could easily be a Wade Phillips-esque d-coordinator. Mediocre coach GREAT coordinator.

If Gruden wants to come back, he'll have an opportunity.

You would think that brand new NFL HCs would be given some time to get their program going, but sometimes their plug gets pulled earlier than expected.

Norv Turner needs to make the playoffs. It has been said the window of opportunity is closing for the Chargers, but they keep hanging around. They have a good QB, but there are concerns about their lines.

Other HCs who might be feeling the heat if the season doesn't go well are Jason Garrett and Ken Whisenhunt.

Totally agree... Browns have a new owner.. I could see a whole new front office being put in place there as well.

I'd rather not see Gruden in SD

There is no way he coaches in Dallas, his ego against Jerry Jones ego would cause Dallas to explode

The unstoppable force meets the immovable object?

The Bucs made a mistake when they fired Gruden. They were a competitive team, 9-7. The guy won a Super Bowl, so he knows how to get the job if you give him a good roster. He's a tough head coach, but Raheem Morris apparently lost the locker room and players stopped working hard after the player-friendly approach. Football is a tough sport. I think the Bucs saw the mistake and got back to Gruden's style, hiring the hard-nosed Schiano to install some discipline.

yep, I think you need that especially on a team as young as the bucks are.

Parcells coached there.

College coaches aren't usually successful in the NFL. Schiano has some NFL coaching experience as an assistant. Rutgers will miss him.
