Admission of a problem is the first step in recovery.....I wanted him. I believed he would be the best option and would light a fire in recruiting, put us on the map INSTANTLY and every 5* recruit would want to come play for him. Surely he hadnāt forgotten how to coach and his passion to teach, love for the game and ability to bring NFL coaches with him would make him an instant hit.
I believed. The dots connected perfectly and in the age of social media, itās easy for information to flow easier than before. I still believe it was going to happen and Currie even lied to him. (I donāt want to argue about that so please donāt read into this post in that regard.)
However, all of that being said, Iām glad Gruden isnāt our coach. He looks lost on the sideline and has made 2 of the worst decisions ever by a head coach.
He may pan out in the long run for the Raiders but he looks awful to the point I wonder if he regrets going back to the sideline.
Anyway, as an original Grudenite, Iāll always wonder what he wouldāve done at TN a few years ago but that ship has sailed and Iām happy heās in Oakland and not in Knoxville.
Uh oh; you wait till the Beaver sees this!!!I wanted him.

Most recruits knew who he was and associated him with the NFL. Wouldāve relanded Mays and Martinez imo...and prolly more playing ready types. What heād do with that talent is unknown but heās not illiterate with Xās and Oās...quite the opposite. I think his style works better at the college level...but thatās untested.I can not figure out what is so great about Gruden that makes people think that every 5* recruit would want to play for him. I don't believe this for a second. Gruden is not that good of a coach...ā¦.never was and never will be.
Gruden is overrated. I am beginning to think the NFL has passed him up. I for one am glad he didnt come here. Him saying we need to find a pass rush after getting rid of Kahlil Mack should tell you what you need to know.
