OT Gruden fired

wire tap story.

Amazing. I thot he was pretty good.

Since defensive coaches are gone - go to other side of ball & finish the job - Can M3 & hire Gruden.

just kidding - sort of.

ESPN says that Gruden feels totally blindsided.

Yea, I thought we were passed the period where coaches were getting axed since candidates were already signing up with teams. WOW

Yeah they melted down the stretch but Gruden is a very good coach.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I was thinking they like Morris and don't want him to leave and coach another team.

He may feel angry and hurt now, but come next offseason, i'm sure he'll get to pick from multiple job offers and get paid very well in the process.

Apparently Morris will be named HC.

This team fell apart when Kiffin said he was leaving.

Wow. I wish we had a head coaching vacancy. Id sign him up immediately. That man is a football coach. Maybe if we suck again this season Chuckie can come home.
