Sources: Gruden the front runner

I heard his football "analysis" related to McNabb. Just great stuff.

Don't let your political point of view blind you to the truth. Limbaugh has forgotten more football knowledge than Snyder will ever know.

Mark my words. If Limbaugh gets St.Louis, some people will make a big stink. After a little while it will blow over. Then St.Louis will be a marque team again. Limbaugh is a Steelers fan and would follow their model.

For every person saying thumbs down on Gruden, let's recall that Gruden and the Bucs beat us when we met over the past few years.

We have a winner.

You make a good point Buster. I hadn't thought of it that way.

I just heard on ESPN 980 (in DC) that John Gruden appears to be the front runner for the Skins new Head Coach. They are referring to as it is a done deal. That must make JZ feel...GOOD

980 also said Fassel and Mariucci were done deal so take that for what it's worth.

Anyhow, my personal top notch Gruden source has now gone from Gruden's "not interested" to he "obviously would like to get back into coaching, just wants to make sure it's the right fit wherever he goes"

Again, I'd like for Gruden to bring Bruce Allen with him.

And I believe we beat them in the playoffs twice too, once with Brunnell.

If I recall we lost to them in the play-offs once and beat them before losing to Seatle?

True. But I don't see Jerry Rice or Tim Brown on this roster.

If we lose against the Chiefs, I say there's greater than a 50% chance that, at this time next week, Gruden will have called his last MNF game and he'll be on the on the sidelines the following Monday.

Well, he may not be on the sidelines the next Monday, but he'll definately be at the game.

My bad.

[SmootSmack]

I thought we beat Tampa then lost to Seattle in 2005/2006

And we lost to Seattle in 2007/2008

This is correct.

Correction:

2005 also marked a return to the playoffs, as the Bucs' posted a surprising 11–5 record, despite the loss of starting quarterback Brian Griese and some controversial coaching decisions, including a two-point conversion in the final seconds to defeat the Washington Redskins, who would later return to Tampa and eliminate the Bucs from the wild-card round of the playoffs.
