Not a fan of either coach...

IN fact there are not a lot of "former" coaches I like listening too.

I LOATH "Chucky" on MNF. He is one of those I am smarter then you - guys & HE didn't really win the superbowl with TB he just happened to pick up a really good team that was behind by Dungy!!

Wow. I actually like Gruden on MNF. He's a character and he knows the game. Then again, I kinda liked Dennis Miller too. LOL I just couldn't stand Tony Kornhole...he made me angry. LOL

I enjoy Gruden. Major upgrade to Kornholer. And I'm okay when people like the Tuna and Gruden act like they know more than I do, mainly because they do know more than I do.

Though I will agree Gruden lucked out that year. Not only in inheriting a great team from Dungy, but then getting the perfect matchup in the Super Bowl. I don't think any other team could have beat the Raiders that year. Gruden was going up against the team he was head coach of the year before. The Raider's HC was his former OC, they were running Gruden's offense. He knew the schemes, the verbage, the coaches, the offensive and defensive players, all their strengths and weaknesses. Gruden could have done the game planning off the top of his head and been better prepared than any other coaching staff that spent weeks drowning themselves in tape of the Raiders.
