All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

So is ther any more talk of Gruden in the head coach search? Seemed to be some chatter early on but nothing since...

In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.

Jay Gruden can't be interviewed due to the Bengals having a game this week.

Re: What happened to GRUDEN?

I think Jon Gruden is there for the taking If he is approached the right way, but it will take more then just money.

In my opinion If Gruden was put in a position that by saying no, with the notion he would be depriving a HOF his last chance to go out on top, his love for the game of football and its history will force Gruden to take the position . Make him say no to RW's face.

Both Gruden and Bill Cowher should understand the gravity of the situation.

Do it for Ralph...

He's making 4.5 Mil a year on MNF, lives in Tampa and still gets home 5 days a week.

Looks like a very happy man to me not coaching.

Re: What happened to GRUDEN?

TBH, from something I read the other day, Gruden wants an awful lot of control, and unlike a guy like Reid, he hasn't had that sort of control before. I think that would be one reason why teams aren't actively pursuing him.
He could also be valuing himself out of the market, due to having a cushy number, that's pretty well paid atm. What Gruden thinks would make it a worthwhile switch back to coaching, in terms of control and salary, may well not be something that NFL teams are prepared to put up with.
I think there are plenty of teams who would be prepared to pay him, but not to give him the degree of control he wants.
If the Bills were to hire him, I wouldn't object, but I wouldn't want him in charge of our draft etc. He has no real record of doing anything like that in the past, and I don't see that he's made much in the way of good roster moves with previous teams.
While he might fancy himself to be a terrific talent evaluator, there's absolutely nothing to see anywhere, that says he has been.
