Gruden's Raiders HC Contract

[Jerellh528]

The raiders knew the guy they wanted and came out and got him. Nothing wrong with that if they truly think gruden is their guy.

Totally fair. Like I said, coaching records aren't the only determining factor in rating the job that coaches do. Also remember McCarthy, just like Gruden with Tampa Bay, inherited quite a mess from Sherman when he was hired.

Gruden did not inherit a mess in Tampa Bay. Please.

Unless you consider the best defense in the league at the time a “mess” haha smh

I don't remember the details back that far, but my first recollection is Gruden stepped into a heck of a situation and a team that had been close

Good point, I stand corrected, now that I looked it up . I assumed, bad move on my part, that the Bucs fired Dungy and paid a kings ransom for Gruden to fix things. However, you are right, they weren't in THAT bad of shape and Gruden may have provided the final push needed to take what Dungy left behind to win a SuperBowl in 2003.

10 years, $100M.
Now that's lunacy, folks.

So, if he has a disastrous first year, Davis could fire him and still owe Gruden 90 million?

Sounds like a good incentive to tank......:>)

Didn't look for details, as I don't really care, but is it all guaranteed?

Not sure if the details have been released yet. This is about the "best speculation" of the deal that I could find. Florio could be spot on or way off.

THAT would be even crazier than the part we think we do know.

I don't know the details either......I've never heard of a coach getting a ten-year contract before, so this is all new territory.....

 

[EdH]

At least we won't have to listen to his incessant babbling on Monday Night Football! YEA for that!!!

Both Jimmy Johnson and before him, Tom Landry had 10 year contracts.

My my

add to that, 10 years of more Gruden commercials.. C'mon you know it's coming he's like Jon McEnroe on a good day and the mainstream loves sensationalism

He should be good for about another $50,000,000

Hmmm, those deals worked out pretty well for the Cowboys.
