The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fired coach Jon Gruden, NFL Network's Adam Schefter is reporting.

Sad. He was one of the Good Guys.

[Dysart]

Moreover, Jason Garrett rumored to be winging his way to St. Louis. Could he be announced as the Lambs new HC?

Stay stuned...

[Mr. Jeeves]

Coaches should probably consider retiring after winning a Super Bowl. In the eyes of the fans and media, they’ll never again do anything good enough.

[screaminsunshine]

Gruden only made it cause of Kiffin. With Kiff gone it is time for a new coach to rebuild Grudens mess. He was totally predictable.

bttt

[dfwgator]

Why would the Lambs hire Garrett after the Cowboys only managed to score 7 points on St Louis’ poor defense?

[mlo]

May he go to a team I don’t like.

[freeplancer]

The only thing Gruden accomplished was winning a superbowl WITH TONY DUNGY’S TEAM.

[Dysart]

I think the team he was coaching is not highly thought of around the league. Bunch of dogs who didn’t even show up to play in that particular game and others this past yr. Not Red’s fault.

And I think Red is so impressive in interviews that it separates him form the pack. I think he’ll do well.

[newfreep]

Still not on ESPN...

[dfwgator]

If as expected, TO is released by the Cowboys, Garrett might decide to stay in Dallas as the heir apparent.

[stylin_geek]

Yeah, it was pretty unbelievable when Tampa fired the coach that turned a perennial loser into a perennial playoff team.

[Our man in washington]

Let’s see, how many Super Bowls did they win before Gruden was there? What was that number...can’t recall...but it rhymes with hero...

They will miss him.

[Mase]

Good. And I'm glad he's taking that loser of a GM with him. Gruden was the maven who was finally going to bring an offense to Tampa. It never happened. Allen knew nothing about talent. If only they could bring back McKay and Dungy. Those were great days.

[Dysart]

It would ideal for Dungy to return but I suspect he won’t coach again. TB could pick up Spagnuolo(although looks like he may take Jets HC job?) or Frazier maybe...several decent prospects out there.

[prismsinc]

That’s bullsh!t. Dungy had 3 tries and failed. Dungy couldn’t make an offense work to take them over the top. In fact, Dungy had success in Tampa because of SAM WYCHE!

Dungy retired with ONE SB! He only made it because of that solid Colt offense.

Chucky got canned because of the financial retraction the NFL is going through.

[BenLurkin]

Hello, Browns?

Call him!

[PerConPat]

The only thing Gruden accomplished was winning a superbowl WITH TONY DUNGY’S TEAM.

LOL! And, I would add with the Raider's playbook, as well.

Dallas Defensive Coordinator just had his head lopped off a few minutes ago.

Call me crazy but how bout moving Wade “Cupcake” Phillips to DC and hiring one Mike Shanahan as Head Coach? It just might work. Phillips is a lousy HC but a top notch DC.
