I like Chucky, he has the right passion for the game, & should be able to bring Oak back.
He's a great analyst IMO also, so will muss him on MNF.

Can't remember if he was fired, but he went to Tampa & beat Oak in the SB in 2002.
One of the worst moves, in a series of bad decisions, Oakland has ever made was trading him away. Al Davis made a ridiculous request that he never imagined TB would agree to. The Glasers said lets do it and that was that.
Al never liked the fact Gruden drew attention away from him, and the relationship soured a bit. Gruden was all set to be the Notre Dame head coach after the O'Leary fiasco, but ND insisted he take the job immediately during the NFL season. Gruden declined and ND went in another direction.
Been a fan of this team since 1970, they need to clean house and it looks like Gruden will have full power to do whatever he wants.

Love how Gruden speaks his mind & says when the refs screw up, or when they're flag happy.
100 mil
Vegas
Just what he always wanted
Hell, I'll skip the 100 million, just give me that gal's ass in your avatar, LOL. I think it's a good move. ESPN has now become Disney's fledgling and there are deep concerns going forward for the franchise. As I stated in another thread, not sure what his compensation package looked like, but it certainly had no chance of improving in the near future, or maybe even further out. ESPN is simply not the bread winner for Disney they once were so Chucky is a pretty sharp dude, I think he sees the handwriting on the wall.
