Wasn’t it Simeon Rice who downplayed Pat Tillman’s decision to quit the NFL and enlist in the military, insinuating he wasn’t even very good so who cares?

So he’s a great judge of character.

Gruden knew everything Oakland ran offensively. Regardless of how good the Bucs’ D was — and it was very good — saying Dungy this, Gruden that is irrelevant besides the fact that Gruden knew most of the Raiders’ play calls before they even ran the plays.

Cuda, most of the players were actually selected on Sam Wyche’s watch and the real brains behind those teams were the MacKay, Angelo, Ruskell tandem in the front office. Also while Dungy coached we were considered underachievers despite all our talent. Gruden a great coach came in and got the team over the humo. Unfortunately MacKay mortgaged the future to win the Super Bowl and left us in cap hell afterwards. Gruden’s failures was in his ability to restock the team with draft picks. Gruden is a poor young talent evaluator hich is why if someone hires to be Head Coach it would be wise for them to have a good talent evaluation guy as GM.

Any owner who hires Gruden should have his head examined. The guy’s such a phony on TV with all his laudatory nonsense for every player and coach on the NFL circuit.

Everyone knows that Gruden won with Dungy’s team while tearing it apart and mortgaging the future on aging vets like Charlie Garner, Jake Plummer, and others.

Dungy turned around the worst team in all of pro sports and made them an annual 10-win playoff team. It only took Jonny-boy a couple of seasons to undo it all and the Bucs STILL haven’t recovered.

He won a Super Bowl with those players who hated him. Who cares. At some point you have to give somebody some credit. Billy Martin won WS with Reggie Jackson. It happens

This guy says we should have kept Dungy in hindsight, after winning a superbowl the year after we fired him??!! What would Dungy have done in Indy without Manning? Dungy had his chances to win one in Tampa. He lost to Philly twice in the playoffs and scored a grand total of zero touchdowns. He was widely successful on one side of the ball, and a huge failure on the other depite all the high draft choices on offense.

They may hate Gruden but I bet they love that Super Bowl ring. Ditto Giants players and Tom Coughlin.

The Bucs won that Super Bowl because Gruden’s playcalling overcame their lack of talent on offense and he was smart enough to stay away from the defense and let Kiffin handle it. Dungy wasn’t going to do all those playcalls on offense. Gruden delivered that win to Tampa. Is he an absolute jerk who I’m glad was fired? Lord, yes, he alienated all sorts of players and people didn’t want to play for him, but Dungy wasn’t necessary. Kiffin had the defense, they needed an offensive mind.

A football coach that was dishonest? I’m shocked.

I’ve never seen a coach lie.

Except for Sean Payton. And Bill Belichick. And Andy Reid. And Lane Kiffin. And Nick Sabin. And Bobby Petrino…

The Bucs have made some of the worse moves on NFL history. While drafting Bo Jackson #1 overall (never signed) and waiving Doug Williams out of spite (Super Bowl MVP) rank up there, firing Tony Dungy was the dumbest. Dungy would have won a SB at Tampa – maybe two.

the only thing a owner will take into account is that he won super bowl whether the players liked him or not. and not whether a certain internet hack likes him or not.
