"I'm not going to sit up here today and talk about any disconnect,'' Gruden said. "We were connected. We were very good friends and very connected. I'll leave it at that.''
Gruden said he went home after beating the Steelers 24-21 on Sunday night and was not part of the meeting in which McKenzie was relieved of his duties.
"Obviously, there was a meeting last night, and changes had been made," he said. "I respect everything that this organization is about. I can't exactly answer why the change was made last night, but changes were made, and we've got to continue to fight and continue to build this team back, and that's what we're going to do."

I imagine seeing the Bears hold the Rams to 6 points and seeing Cooper go for 200 was enough for them to fire him, even after the Raiders beat Pittsburgh.
Whoopsies!
