The Indians got theirs through capture from individuals or through unscrupulous traders.

Questions about his age and health have me a bit on the fence about him being the HC next year.. But to bring him into a situation where he doesn't have to have the stress of being "the guy", where he can lead in a different capacity. A more "advisory" sort of role, would be advantageous to him and to this team. IMO I mean, I do hear what you're saying so I'm not suggesting it doesn't make sense. One big thing you gotta realize though is HC's in the NFL are a different breed. Most really don't want to be anything else but the lead dog once they get the whiff of success. Tons of coaches have talked about that over the years. Arians would easily be a HC somewhere if he didn't choose to "retire". I'm not sure if an assistant role would be enticing compared to taking one last run as the big dog. See someone like Gruden to get what I'm trying to say.

I don't know if you can compare Jon Gruden's ego to Bruce Arians.. Arians seems more like a guy who would work and listen to others.. Gruden is a one way fucker..

He's now got 100% control with McKenzie out of the way, and sink or swim, he's pulling down $100 million courtesy of Davis, probably only second to Belichick. Jon had better not replicate Cleveland's lousy drafting pre Dorsey with all those picks he collected, or Davis bought himself Fool's Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for him (Gruden) being McKenzies "friend' supposedly... LOL What greed does to some folks is amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT in his career, dropped back to block on 6,680 pass attempts, only allowed 30 sacks.. That's it! imagine the technique he can teach someone like Corbett or Robinson. No doubt Joe has the credentials, but does he have the personality for it? Can he be brutally honest enough? Remember he worked with both Shon Coleman and Cam Irving, and endorsed both of their development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 It's interesting the grief Gruden is getting for getting all the power in Oakland, but how universally lauded Bill Parcells was when he said that if he's going to cook the meal, let him get the groceries.
