I never heard of a team trading a coach before. Guess Thursday's debacle was the last straw.

Gruden was traded from the Raiders to the Bucs about a decade ago. Apparently, the Browns tried to trade for Harbaugh last off-season...they were a year too early, although I think they have a pretty good coach anyway.

If I were the Jets, Raiders, or Bears I would take Harbaugh in a second. The 49ers were a dog turd for a decade before he got there.

In 1977 the Oakland A’s traded manager Chuck Tanner to the Pittsburgh Pirates for catcher Manny Sanguillen.

Only time I’m aware of such a move being made.

The NFL pundits have Jimmyboy coaching the oakland raiders when they move to LA.

Sometimes these executives get stupid greedy.
They may well find out their next star coach is not as good as the one they had.

I remember when Art Modell fired Marty Schottenheimer after the Browns lost to Denver in the AFC championship game.
The franchise never recovered from that.
