Jon Gruden.....

Signs contract with ESPN for the MNF gig, through 2021.
Guess he's serious bout not wanting to coach.

I'm good with it. I like his style.

In the booth he can drool over every QB if goes back to coaching you can only have so many on a roster. I like him in the booth but I do miss his facial expressions. Imagine if him and Harbs could meld together.

He gets too much crap for his enthusiasm and hyperbole. He understands football and can instantly diagnose what actually happened on a play better than all the other announcers combined.

The guy makes more money on TV without the stress of being a head coach. Good gig if you can get it.

Plus, he ripped Kiper a new one when Kiper started criticizing the Hawks for drafting Russell Wilson.

He's just letting Jay Cutler have it tonight, and i love it.

I keep forgetting to bring it up here, but does anyone else get a really weird and lukewarm vibe from Gruden whenever he announces our games and is talking about Russell, compared with how happy and pumped he was when we drafted him?

Gruden is the new John Madden. Win a Superbowl, get out of coaching young and stay in the booth. Wonder if he'll start travelling from game to game by motor home?

I love Gruden.

I love listening to Gruden, hated him as the Raiders head coach though. Would love to see Gruden replace Aikman on the Buck & Aikman Fox broadcasts. I hate listening to those two and it seems like we always get them.

He's not bad. Anyone else miss the old NBC team of Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy in the 80's? They called a ton AFC West games. Loved them.

Smart guy, seems like any time his name is in serious talks with returning to coaching he gets a raise and extension from ESPN.

Stop teasing us with the utopian idea of a competing game to Madden. :lol:

TBH, if there was one, Gruden would be perfect for it. Much better than Madden, IMO.

The only problem I can foresee the Gruden game having is that ALL QBs would have a 100 player rating.

This guy, I call him Donald Trump because he's rich a d he's on TV.
