Those guys dont have the kind of built in fan memory, or prior success to point to, that instantly puts asses in seats
They want fan/media buzz, and to revive the ghost of glory days gone by Its a good all around move for them IMO, he hasnt forgotten how to coach, he is well aware of league trends, wont have any problem getting good assistants etc... that said bring it on, Mahomes > Carr |

How much of these contracts are normally guaranteed?

It will be fun to watch Davis realize Carr can’t play the QB position the way Gruden wants and one of those big contracts gets swallowed.

There inlies the problem. Gruden has won a SB with the Bucs. There still has not be a HC to win a SB with two different teams. There has to be the first and all that stuff. I respect Gruden as a good coach, but I don't see him as a greatly exceptional coach that would definitely change that history.

Carr threw 500 yards less and threw 5 or 6 more interceptions for the year in a bad predictable offense and he is washed up

A random fact relating to Gruden supposedly being an innovative offensive genius who will magically fix Carr... Gruden didn’t have the shotgun formation in his playbook until his last year or so in Tampa (and even then he used it sparingly).
Just shows how different the NFL is now than when he last coached 10 years ago (and it wasn’t like his offenses were anything more than average/mediocre in Tampa). |

Just the latest in a long line of desperate moves that will set back a desperate franchise.

He's never liked pressure, but unfortunately there were circumstances out of his control that took place in late 2016 and early 2017 that compounded his problems and overall skittishness.
