They say that if you win the superbowl, it gives you 5 years of job security.  however, ever since the SB, he tried to rebuild the offense with people like Charlie Garner, Todd Steussie, Derrick Deese, Matt Stinchcomb, Jason Whittle, Tim Brown, Jamel White, and many other high-priced flops.. after we cut all them and had to deal with that deadweight, Gruden finally focused on draft players and got Clayton, Caddy, and Alex Smith.  They all look promising, but the bucs haven't finished above the bottom 1/3 in the league in offense ever since gruden got here.  to top it off, he is DEAD LAST in points per game so far this year...

i can't believe i'm saying this, but i'm willing to give him 1 year after the end of this year.  if nothing has changed, we gotta get rid of him.

That's been my thinking all along. End of next year the grace period is over...... and after the puzzling game plan against the Giants, my patience may be challenged in that regard but I'll stick with it.

No matter what Gruden's done since then, he brought the Holy Grail to Tampa Bay and after almost 30 years of suffering with this franchise THAT goes a long way with me.

you mean you would have run the ball more? I think Rod Smith would call a better game than what the Bucs did on Sunday.

my only problems is that he will not run behin davin joeseph and trueblood.  They are monsters and have been playing great but he runs behind the weak side of the line.  

to rin with caddy only 8 times is horrible!  He gets better the more carries he gets.  There is a reason that we are undefeated when Caddy gets 21 or more carries in a game.

In a 40-mph wind last week in New York, Tampa Bay Bucs Coach Jon Gruden called 53 passing plays for rookie quarterback Bruce Gradkowski and only eight running plays for Cadillac Williams. It was easily the worst offensive plan of attack since the Bay of Pigs. . . .
