Is Jon Gruden
Pluses
very smart
driven
demanding
beyond intense
experienced
winner
minuses
almost too old school, good as long as you win (don't misunderstand I don't mind this but the reality is dealing with today's pampered pro athletes isn't easy)
needs the right QB because he is QB obsessed and drives them super hard, again that works with the right guy
I would get him in here the day after the season ends and tell him "look, we're going to draft a QB in the 1st round and we want you to pick him". I realize there's no guarantee his guy will be there when we pick but IMO it's essential the QB be Gruden's guy and he is probably more qualified to know QB talent that anyone anyway. This is the best possible fit for the Bills- Gruden as HC and a young stud to be developed by Gruden under center. In fact I wouldn't wait. Start talking to him now and have a deal in place. No sense firing Gailey now but he's a dead man walking. Gruden would laugh his ass off if you told him he would be working wth Fitz. But I really don't think that's a problem, even Ralph can see that situation can't continue either.
If we had a real owner I would actually be pretty optimistic we could pull this off. But the stench of OBD is strong so i'm probably just dreaming.
