I don’ t believe he was offensive coordinator with the Bucs when his brother was head coach. Do you think there was a reason for that??????

I love it when Cincy hired him, and then seen what he could do for the past 2 years. I would love to see him go the the Cardinals. He needs a refresher course in ” offensive coordinator 101″.
He gets an “F” from me !!

LOL, It must be a pain to have every reference made about you include your Jon Gruden’s little brother. Even the article about Jay, ended up with an article about Jon.

Last year I would have been begging them to not take Gruden. However, I now realize that Gruden looked like a genius because he followed the “great” Bob Bratkowski whose offense consists of 2yrd run, 2yrd run, incomplete pass, punt. So he wasn’t following a great act. Now it’s obvious he can’t call a good game and our offense obviously needs a TON of help. You guys can have him.

If his last name wasn’t Gruden, would we be talking about him? As OC in Cincy, he hasn’t been overly impressive.

I’d like to know precisely what Jay Gruden has done to deserve an opportunity like this. It can’t be his work with the Bagels’ offense, especially yesterday.

The Bugles’ coordinator who deserves a shot is Mike Zimmer, the DC. His defense this year was the best the Bingles have had in many, many seasons, despite that bust in the middle, Maualuga. Zimmer would be the wrong guy for the Cards, who have a good defense and a horrid offense, but he deserves a shot somewhere (Philly?).

But I guess the Cards are looking at the name with more “sizzle”. That’s why they’re the Cardinals, historically one of the league’s worst franchises.

Jay Gruden is a coordinator at best, if the Cards make him their head coach its going to be another couple years of futility. Why dont they just promote Ray Horton? I guess it just makes too much sense..

I love how it’s his play calling that cost them, not the defensive play calling of one of the best defensive coordinators in the league, that cost them the game…

Please take Jay! He’s good for young QBs, but his playbook was/is terrible. Very vanilla scheme, doesn’t even use screens, play action, roll-outs or anything. Plus the guy never game planned to attack opponent’s weaknesses. Maybe he’ll be better as a HC (as a motivator), but he’s weak as an OC.

Jay Gruden AND the Arizona offense???

What a nightmare…

Go ahead and get Pepto-Bismol and Immodium
to sponsor the team then.

Failing and falling up. Though I do not know whether yesterday was Dalton’s or Gruden’s fault.

Makes sense. They saw how he ignored AJ Green in a playoff game and find him to be a natural fit, and seemless transition, to coach Fitzgerald.

Cinn play terrible Saturday and for him to coach a team with less talent wrong move

If I was as bad at my job as Jay Gruden (or Maualuga) was at his last night, I would not have a job and definitely would not be getting a promotion!!!

I’d pass on him for that game plan and playcalling Saturday alone.

Jay didn’t involve A.J. Green in playoff loss to Texans, if Cardinals hire him..Fitz will get the same treatment..don’t do it Cards.

As a Bengals fan, I highly recommend that the Eagles/Cardinals name Jay Gruden your next head coach…his play calling/schemes are brilliant…Texans defense was completely caught off guard by his plan to not throw the ball to AJ Green in the first half and have no blocking strategy for Texans def (no need to pay attention to their young DE…I believe the fella is named JJ Watt?)…Gruden knew we had a mis match with our TE Gresham (aka Butterfingas)…Gruden also knew it would be beneficial to abandon the ground game (even though we avg over 5 yds/carry)…We didn’t want to slow down their pass rush or make adjustments to our 1 receiver routes (we had them right where we wanted them)! He has done so much to develop our young qb who Gruden has no confidence in!!! Take Maualuga too!!!!

im a huge dallas fan and a huge gruden fan, please dont get my hopes of up for something like that to happen if its not true! the cowboys need a loud, ignorant, foot in the ass kind of coach. thats why they were good with jimmy johnson, switzer, and parcells.
as for jay gruden, stay where you are..you need to work on your current job before you get promoted..

By: bittersmuggs

More of the same for Fitzgerald. Gruden currently coaches one of the top 5 WRs in the NFL and didn’t find a way to get the ball to AJ Green in the first half of yesterday’s game.

Jay Gruden was a reach for Univ. of Tennessee – I still can’t believe they were trying to land Jon.

I don’t get why these coordinators of mediocre and inconsistent offenses get so much interest as head coach material. If you want to interview a Bengal interview Mike Zimmer, not Jay Gruden…

After the way the Bengals offense looked yesterday this guy should be happy to get interviewed to flip burgers.

the Cowboys are not going to replace Jason Garrett and if they did it would be with Mike Holmgren!

As long as your game plan involves not including your best playmaker in a playoff game i’m sure you’ll be fine. thanks Jay..

I know my Cards are in dire need for a coach besides a qb, o-line that blocks, and a rb that can stay healthy without a bad case of fumbleitis but I don’t think Gruden is the answer. I would much rather the Bidwells throw a ton of money at Cowher to get him to come out of retirement. I wouldn’t be opposed to John Gruden as head coach and his brother as the offensive coordinator and keep Horton as the defensive coordinator. I think that is the only way to get things turned around.

Please hire him Arizona that way we can get someone who knows how to call plays.
