You make the assumption they turned him down. They contacted him from what was said and he wanted to wait until the season is over. Super Bowl is in 3 weeks right?

You really don't like Gruden.

It makes sense to you that he wants to wait until the SB is over to interview with a team meanwhile other teams without HCs are interviewing candidates now?

I actually think he'd be a good fit here because of his personality. He'd be well received with the media, sort of like Parcells, and like his coaching style. He's no nonsense type of guy.

Crediting Dungy for that win is like crediting Barry for the Cowboys SB win.

Gruden is better than Dungy. Much better.

Problem is that Gruden runs a very complex verbage in regards to his QBs.

Strange to me that he really only wants the Carolina job if it opens up.

Gruden is not coming to Dallas unless they make him the highest paid in the league. He would go to Carolina for less.

Since when does what I think matter? The article was explicit. You have La Confora saying 4 teams contacted him. I don't know what Gruden is thinking nor do you. Making the assumption that he thinks like either of us is fallacious.

4 teams contacted him. He said he wanted to wait. Why? We haven't been told but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Nice story. I like making stuff up too but I prefer prefacing it with an admission that I am just guessing.

I am not guessing.

Gruden has turned down all interviews. He was hoping for the Carolina job.

And certainly Richardson is not going to pay him at that level. If both jobs were available he would take Carolina...not a guess or speculation.

He has turned down all interviews? Where do you see that? And where do you see that it would take top dollar.

My guess from how he acts on all the Sunday Night Games that we are in --and there have been a lot-- is that he really wants an opportunity to coach here. All the NFCE teams are desirable locations. That's why the Mike Shanahans and Bill Parcells come here.

Who did Gruden interview with ? He has been asked by several teams.

He has stated that he was "excited" about the possibility of coaching Carolina.

LOL! Listen to a MNF broadcast and you will hear Gruden talk about being "excited" about everything from corn dogs to doing his taxes.

Who knows? I can just as much argue that of all the firings --and there were a lot-- have not been replaced.

All you are doing here is guessing. You have zero inside knowledge. You may be right and you may be wrong but putting it as a declarative is just posturing behind your opinion.

What difference does it make anyway. The only point I am after here is that he is respected and wanted around the NFL.

SkinsandTerps · 01-13-2013

If that was your point Fuzzy, you should have just stated that.

And if you want to assume that I have no inside info...so be it.

I have no reason to posture.

My point was Gruden wanted the Carolina job and would have taken it if available from what I know (not a guess).

I have no reason to name drop in this situation. But I will say that I know several people in several organizations in both the NFL and NBA.

All you are doing is regurgitating existing article information --ie the Carolina stuff-- and making claims without qualifying via a source. It's been reported that he was interested in the Carolina job but they already have a coach. Believe it was CBS.

So you know him personally? I doubt he would turn down an interview with Dallas if given the opportunity.

.....I think JJ goes to Holmgren when it's over and done with Red: doesn't matter if it's this offseason or next: he's been enamored with Mike for a LONG time. And as we saw yesterday, age isn't a hurdle with Al Jr.

Good comments on Jimmy and Cowher.

They can be wrong, and still get paid the $$$$$$$
