With so many retread recycled coaches still constantly receiving jobs after failing it’s wild Gruden is essentially blacklisted from the NFL.
I haven’t followed his lawsuit with the NFL or the reasoning for not continuing to talk football on ESPN or any other sports network. I know before I got really sick 5 years ago and was watching ESPN everyday and listening/reading all sports stuff religiously. He was all over the place. When I got sick I really only watched/paid attention to Hurricanes/Dolphins/Heat and there were periods I couldn’t even follow those.
Does anyone know if there was some epic downfall in him broadcasting? Thinking about it now, what I have watched/read on the NFL the last couple years was completely absent Jon Gruden. Did his lawsuit of the NFL also affect broadcasting? Did he absolutely desire to get back into coaching, got stonewalled and has been doing the analyst coach as a way to teach football again as a passion.
There is no reason as irritating as Gruden can be at times personality wise; that he should not be a HC/Coordinator in NFL or HC in CFB. He has an excellent football mind. It should not be wasted in Italy. Again, I dislike Gruden personally. I met him a few times as coach of the Bucs. But the mf’er probably has forgotten more football then some coaches today.
