Jon Gruden as your 2010 Bills head coach?

Resume: Gruden has a 95-77 record in eleven seasons as the head coach for Oakland and Tampa Bay. He won a Super Bowl in 2002 and has guided his teams to the division title five times. Gruden is known as an offensive genius, who made Rich Gannon look like a hall of famer in his years in Oakland.

Not a fan of this one either. Sure, he would fit the Bills fan’s love for a loud mouth, no non-sense coach. But how can you give him credit for winning a championship in Tampa Bay? Gruden, had an all-world defense waiting for him that was created by Tony Dungy. His offenses in Tampa were average at best, with the majority of his quarterbacks (See Chris Simms & Jeff Garcia) wanting to do bodily harm to him. If you ask me, his colorful “Chucky” personality is what made him a household name. Lets not forget Gruden hasn’t won a playoff game since Super Bowl XXXVII. He kind of sounds like a poor man’s version of Mike Shanahan, except he has the Napoleon complex.

That Napoleon complex, along with money would keep Ralph from giving Gruden a chance in Buffalo. I read an interview where Ralph’s wife told Marv Levy (when he was hired as GM) to just keep Ralph in the know. Do you picture Gruden taking 3 to 4 phone calls a day about what direction the team is going? I don’t think so. I’m sure Ralph would call his old friend, Al Davis, and ask him about Gruden. Gruden and Al butted heads a lot at the conclusion of his tenure in Oakland, so I doubt he’d give him a good reference. I don’t think Wilson wants another Tom Donahoe on his hands. Not to mention, Gruden signed an extension to stay with Monday Night Football for 2010.
