Gruden fired by Tampa Bay (NFLN)
Per Sheffter, NFLN

I'll get a link as soon as one is available.


http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=090...s&confirm=true




The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired coach Jon Gruden on Friday, as was first reported by NFL Network's Adam Schefter.
Jon Gruden.

General manager Bruce Allen was also dismissed. After the team collapsed following a 9-3 start and failed to make the playoffs, the organization decided to go in a different direction.

"We will be forever grateful to Jon for bringing us the Super Bowl title, and we thank Bruce for his contributions to our franchise," said Buccaneers co-chairman Joel Glazer. "However, after careful consideration, we feel that this decision is in the best interest of our organization moving forward."

The Buccaneers were tied for first place in the NFC South heading into December, but finished with losses to Carolina and Atlanta on the road and San Diego and Oakland at home, where they had been 6-0. One more win would have landed a NFC wild-card berth.

The 9-7 record this season left Tampa out of the playoffs for the fourth time in six years.

Gruden went 60-57 in seven seasons as head coach of the Buccaneers, including the playoffs. He was the youngest coach to win a Super Bowl when he led Tampa Bay to a 48-21 win over the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII, his first season with the team.

Gruden was Tampa Bay's coach for seven years before being dismissed. Allen was general manager for the last five seasons.

Gruden's firing means that there will be 10 new head coaches next season, the most since the 2005-06 season.

Information from the Associated Press was included in this report

It didn’t take long for the Detroit Lions’ new head coach, Jim Schwartz, to begin reaching out to assistant coaching candidates.

Schwartz asked for and received permission to interview Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, who worked with him on the Tennessee Titans’ staff from 2001 to 2003.

Cunningham’s job security in Kansas City is tenuous at best, and the fact that he was one of the first coaches that Schwartz contacted is a sign of how much he is wanted in Detroit. One league source said that Cunningham is expected to be hired in Detroit.

Cunningham could wind up being Schwartz’s defensive coordinator with the Lions, working under him in the same way he did for three seasons when he was the Titans’ linebackers coach and Schwartz was the defensive coordinator.

If it’s the end of Cunningham’s career in Kansas City, the curtain will fall on a man who had an attachment to the city. Cunningham spent 11 years with the Chiefs, including two in which he was the head coach in 1999 and 2000.
Good luck Gunther. I really hope you land this one. Best wishes in Motown.

Go snort another line darlen. You've deffenantly got a great buzz flowing
Let me remind you of what happened at SB37
Some fool named Calahan, took over a team built and designed by Gruden, did absolutly NOTHING to it, and made a SB apearience.
Same year....
Gruden took a team the first year he coached it, to the same SB, and put on a clinic of how to tear apart an offence AND defence he created.

You could argue that...but you'd also have to argue that since the team he had been coaching went to the Super Bowl the next year he should get some credit for something somewhere...

The funny thing is now there are only two active coaches in the NFL who've actually won a Super Bowl. Belichick and Coughlin. That's crazy. If it wasn't for the Giants last year it'd just be Belichick.
