Is John Gruden really coming in for a visit?

[bills4ver]

Posted on another message board, people are talking about Former Coach Gruden coming to Buffalo tomorrow for a visit.

I would love for this to happen, but don't see it this early.

How can he even come in with a Head Coach still here?

What do you all think?

[Coach Sal]

I think it's BS.

[Joe Fo Sho]

Not a chance in hell.

[ddaryl]

cruel rumors spread by hopeful, but delusional Bills fans.

[Mudflap1]

So he's leaving Dallas after the game tonight (MNF) and flying to Buffalo to quit his MNF gig and take over this crappy Bills team? Really? He can't do better than this? He can't wait out the season and maybe go to Washington, Carolina, Cleveland, or Jacksonville?

[SquishDaFish]

Stupid fans making up rumors. Our crappy owner woudlnt be that smart

[Mad Bomber]

I think it's BS.
A whole wagon load full

[Meathead]

one fantastic move right now would be to hire an asst hc in charge of the offense

youd call it a consultant to the hc but everyone would know what it really was - the roaring light a fire under your ass this is your last chance or he takes your job consultant

[Meathead]

why would gruden want to do that?
because he stands much more to gain than lose. chances are very low an offensive guru like him wouldnt have an observable positive impact on this stage of this offenses arrested development. so worst case he comes out strengthening his perceived qualifications and raising his profile for future hc jobs. best case he just slides right in when they launch the dick to the moon

wishful thinking at this point im afraid. but i think fantasy is all we gots for the time bean

[Dr. Pepper]

100% rumor but hey, might as well start circulating them now.

[Scumbag College]

I think he's on the same plane to Buffalo that Mike Vick was on.

[Mudflap1]

:rofl:

[bills4ver]

the only thing I could imagine is if he is coming in just for a sort of pre - interview. I still don't see it happening, but who would have thought we would sign TO

[ddaryl]

Yep time to start the Cowher has been seen in Buffalo rumor.

My Uncle just flew in from Chicago on business, and Gruden was sitting 1st class on the plane. When they landed in Buffalo Cowher was quickly met and was seen getting in a stretch limo. My Uncle swears Brandon was in the back of the limo when he saw Cowher get in, but he wasn't 100% sure.

My Uncle wouldn't lie

[Bufftp]

I heard Vince Lombardi was having a late lunch with Ralph in Detroit.....

Gruden AND Cowher! Co-head coaches??? WOW!!!

You forgot the part about Russ Brandon and Ralph Wilson waiting over at Denny's to wine and dine the boys, followed by a marathon of bingo contests and "Matlock" re-runs to round out the night...

yeah, jacksonville and cleveland, real nfl cities.

unbelievable the things you guys say. don't be a bills fan since you hate them so much. god.

Jacksonville is in Florida and near where Gruden lives (Tampa Bay), which instantly makes it a more desireable location. That being said, they are probably moving to L.A. anyway, which would be much more desireable than Buffalo. Jacksonville also has a better team than the Bills.

Cleveland is not a real NFL city. Really? You're going to go there?

[BillsWin]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahaha! I love rumors like this!!!! :rofl:

[DraftBoy]

John Gruden won't take any job till he sees what happens with Notre Dame and Charlie Weiss. He's made no secret about that being a dream job for him and if Weiss gets canned, he'll be first in line to submit his resume. No way do I see Gruden coming to Buffalo and possibly missing on Notre Dame.

Cleveland won't fire Mangini after a year. Jax is a pathetic excuse for a football city. Washington has Snyder, enough said. The Carolina job will be Cowher's.

Why the hell would John Gruden want to coach the Buffalo Bills?

[Hemlepp53]

A Job he Loves...... He wants to coach, he is still hungery and we have what it takes to win games on the field. Our # 1 weakness is on the sideline...

[casdhf]

He was gushing all over us during the Monday night game.

The job he loves and wants is the one in South Bend first and foremost. I dont doubt he'd be interested in the Buffalo job but I can't see him jumping at it with South Bend potentially being open.

[BertSquirtgum]

i have always liked gruden. he has some real fire and passion for the game. i believe he would be a good fit for this team full of pussies. that being said, this rumor is a load of horsesheit.

[Tiburon1724]

Granted he's an improvement over Jauron...almost anyone would be...but he's not a great coach. Dungy built the Super Bowl Bucs, Gruden rode his coattails and the team then fell apart. And he sure built a winner in Oakland!

[Mudflap1]

I guess Jon Gruden is rushing to the DFW airport right now to catch a late flight to Buffalo?

GOD I hope so !!!!

[Forward_Lateral]

I should've rephrased my question. Why the hell would Gruden want to coach the Bills for 500k a year?

[TheBrownBear]

Rumor is gaining traction. Just spoke to my buddy who's fresh out of rehab. He was at Mighty Taco after a late night at the bars last night and he swears he saw Gruden and Langston Walker each with their own "Mighty Pack." Yeah, this guy broke into my car and sold my stereo system for drug money, but he's my boy and he wouldn't do me wrong with important info like this.

[RockStar36]

He was gushing all over us during the Monday night game.

He gushes over everybody and everything on every MNF game.

[PECKERWOOD]

We need to steal Jason Garrett from the Cowboys, in the same way that the Saints stole Sean Payton away from Ole Jerry. :clap:

Yeah, Garrett is awesome. Especially in that sequence last night when he called two consecutive fade patterns into the end zone and cost the Cowboys a touchdown.

NO THANKS.

[yordad]

He was gushing all over us during the Monday night game.Ewww. I like him, but I don't want him gushing on me.

[ddaryl]

Ewww. I like him, but I don't want him gushing on me.

sure you post that here, but at home when you think no one is looking its a different story :whistling

j/k

God no, the man is in love with the pass and despite have the best stable of backs in the entire league (being three deep) he refuses to use them properly.

Garrett would be a huge mistake!

Bingo! Choice should of gotten both of those carries, he was running well.

And why the hell do you throw the second fade to Martellus Bennett? That made no sense at all.

So he made a couple of calls that didn't work. Not a big deal.

Overall the guy runs a very good offense, always productive, and puts points on the board.

I think the calls he made with their next trip to the goal line were very nice play calls and they got into the endzone easily.

A couple?? Seriously tell me you don't think one glaring example is all I got. How about the fact that Dallas has fallen apart like clockwork every December. The fact that they are unable to be consistent despite having more star talent than any other team in the NFCE. Please Garrett is one of the biggest things holding Dallas back right now. Most Cowboys fans can't stand him. One of the worst play callers IVe seen.

NFL ppl who talk about him usually do so in glowing terms. Dallas falls apart as a team and I highly doubt it falls squarely on Garrett.

Pretty sure Dallas was one botched snap away from going to the NFC championship game.

[Night Train]

Dallas hasn't won a playoff game since 1996 and I don't want anyone from that team. Last year in the playoff deciding finale against the Eagles, they lost 44-6. It's how you finish.

Although I'm actually frightened over who the Bills might think is a better alternative.
