Well fam, I don't know what to feel about my new coach. As you know, I wanted Bill Parcells for the job, but now we got Chuckie??? WTF?
Hmmmm, I guess there will not be alot of roster changes due to "Pimpin'" Al Davis getting our draft picks for the next 3 years and shyt!
Wow, too many changes
New QB
New coach
New division
Q: Does this equal a new era? Well, I hope so, but I will not hold my breath..
===================
The wait was long and the price was high, but for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it was all worth it.
After 35 days, Tampa Bay found the right person to fill its head coaching vacancy. The Bucs were in dire need of an offense-minded leader, not to mention a little fire (or, in layman's terms, a kick in the ass). Jon Gruden -- not Tony Dungy, not Bill Parcells, not Marvin Lewis, not Steve Mariucci -- is the one guy who fits both descriptions perfectly.
By giving up four picks, including two No. 1s, the Bucs will have to be more creative. They'll have to build more through free agency. And they have the right architect, considering Gruden has earned a reputation as a coach guys love to play for.
But leadership is more important to this franchise right now than draft picks. At 38, Gruden may be around longer than some of the picks, who could just as easily turn into a Reidel Anthony as they could a Derrick Brooks. The cost does not outweigh the possible benefits.
In the end, Gruden will lead Tampa Bay to the playoffs, as his predecessor did four times in six years. Only this time, you can expect the Bucs to score a touchdown. With Gruden, the sky's the limit.
