Gruden to Rams?

Personally, I like Gruden in the booth. We don't get much respect from broadcasters, but we do get some from him.

It's a little confusing considering he just signed a long term extension. I will certainly miss him in the booth.....he always had good things to say about the Saints.
He would have a good thing though considering he would already know how the GM thinks. He would have a high draft pick in all rounds and cap space to bring in some good Free Agents. He could have this team turned around in no time.

I know it makes me sound really cynical, but a lot of this stuff gets floated around as rumors at this time of year, because right now, at this very moment, the season ticket invoices are going out for next year's tickets for all these teams. And if a coach is vulnerable or is on the hot seat, this kind of talk can help get people to renew their seats, rather than cancel their tickets, even if it's just a rumor that Gruden or Cowherd or Ditka or whoever might be under consideration... it used to be Parcells and Jimmy Johnson who were always in the rumor mill like this, a few years ago. But I think some of it is just psychological, trying to get fans to pull the trigger on renewing those season tickets for a borderline bad team. Like MAYBE it will be Gruden so let's go ahead and do another year of games.
