I think the internal investigation is turning up some awful stuff. Jon Gruden wasn't the only guy having these conversations with Bruce Allen, and probably wasn't even the worst. He might be happy to have jumped on this grenade instead of getting caught up in that nuclear blast. Is it 10 years old? Yep. Is it something said in private that neither man though would see the light of day? Yep. Does it speak to Gruden's character? Yep. Is "I only said the racist thing because I was talking to my racist friend" a good excuse? No. Would I, as a player, trust Jon Gruden? Hell no. Buddies or not, that was still a professional relationship. I'm amazed that either man thought that was acceptable. But it the actions of rich men who have never been held accountable. You and I both knew to never type that sort of thing in an email way back in 2011 - these men are acting with impunity because they don't believe they're subject to the same rules as you or I. From a player standpoint, Gruden comes across as a kiss-ass. A weak little toady willing to yuk it up and make watermelon jokes for the boss while siding against the players. Forget the racism... Oh, this is what you really think of me when you don't think anyone's listening. Two faced and fake. How's Bruce Allen's dick taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please replace him in free agency. I am not defending Gruden just think the timing is “fortunate”. They were paying him a lot of money and after 4 years the team is probably an 8-9 9-8 team at best. Also, there was no way Gruden could or should survive this. Hell, I left the Army in 1991 and there is no way I would have survived something like this. Been working in corporate America since and have seen idiots fired for less in an email back in the 90s. Not only does it point to a lack of character it really points to a lack of intelligence. Never understood the love affair for him. Took over a loaded roster Dungey built in Tampa Bay and pulled a Barry Switzer. The Super Bowl win was the last time he won a playoff game. The next 9 seasons of coaching resuted in 2 wildcard appearances, both losses. Marvin was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting an ugly precedent for firing a coach. Oh I absolutely think he should have been fired. He wouldn’t have lasted 10 minutes in the NBA after this story broke. In the league’s defense a lot was probably going on behind the scenes to facilitate his exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
