Around the NFL: Week 4

Is Kirk wearing number 12?

NFL Dennis Allen fired after 8-28 record - ESPN (http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=11615699)

At least the skins havent had 8 coaches since 2002... they have only had 5!

I sort of wondered when coaches would start being fired this season - this seems a little early to me. it usually seems like around half-way when coaches start getting the axe.

Lots of speculation that Jon Gruden could come back to coach Oakland again....not sure how good of a chance there is for that although I know Gruden is very close with the Raiders and the owner...

i would agree except he didnt earn that job to begin with.

For some reason I thought when McKenzie came in he was going to do a better job, but he has been extremely piss poor. His free agent choices he's brought in have been terrible.

Patriots are being taken behind the shed. Whupped.

Its amazing what poor Oline play will do to a team and what great Oline play will do for a team, such as the Patriots and the Cowboys. The Pats combo that with zero playmakers at the WR position.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Raiders' first look for their new head coach will be Jon Gruden.

Gruden, the former Raiders head coach and current Monday Night Football color analyst, has been connected to a homecoming ever since leaving the Bucs in 2008. It's obvious he'd be the first choice for close friend and owner Mark Davis. However, there's a lot of doubt if this is the right time for Gruden to go back to Oakland. GM Reggie McKenzie has put together the worst teams in the NFL by trading for guys like Matt Flynn/Matt Schaub, drafting guys like D.J. Hayden/Menelik Watson and blowing cap space on washed-up veterans like Maurice Jones-Drew. No coach could make it work with this roster.

i think its time to get Gruden out the booth. I liked him early on, but his shtick has worn thin. I think the booth needs more honesty in it and Tirico does a great job. I wouldnt mind giving the booth a shot, it needs more of a fan's opinion. Plus hanging with a infamous poon hound like Tirico would be classic. Id also bring a little drinking to the booth too, like the old days. watching football is suppose to be fun, i think thats what's loss in today's broadcast crews.

I'm going to see Jon on Sunday, I'll ask him.

Called him on the phone to tell him too, they could at least of done it face to face.

Yeah, he is loved in Oakland, I couldnt see him back in there unless they give him alot of control in personel. I think Gruden is a better coach than people have given him credit for.

Tell Jon about my idea of fan perspective in the booth and ask him to give a shout out to Chico next weekend from the booth. thanks SS

The Patriots have squandered countless draft picks over the past couple of years. You typically can never count them out, but Brady is just not playing well and unless something happens I don't see them winning many games. Although, I'm sure they'll make the playoffs since their conference is pretty crappy.
