Jon Gruden

Jon Gruden is waiting for the LSU job to open up...

TXGSP · 08-21-2012, 12:06 AM

I don't remember many comments from Gruden about everything that has happened with the Saints over the last 6 months.

You know Payton and Gruden have spoken...

I wouldn't be suprised to see Gruden or Parcells as the interim head coach. Just to put someone their to focus the team during the suspensions if they hold up after the court battle. I really think adding the head coach duties to current coaches could be a problem and cause a distraction.

Vitt has enough on his plate with the linebackers - especially with the injuries that have started at that position.

Said it earlier - no reason to limit someone outside the organization to the "no contact" rules included in Payton's suspension. I think the decision has been made...but why even put it out.

Let everyone learn who it is on opening day...

I do not see anyone outside the Saints taking over.
If Parcells or Gruden were interested in taking the interim job they would be there now,getting to know the players and system.
Thats my thoughts anyway.

Could happen, but I would think they would need to have some time with us to get to know the team and how players are progressing and get an inside view on who excels at what in order to make personnel changes during games. I kinda do wish Gruden or Parcells would come in for the reasons you listed above but at this point I don't see it happening. You know Payton has been talking with those guys though. What about Jerry Glanville?

I'd love to have Gruden coaching for the Saints at some point but not right now. I think the interim interim HC should be Kromer or Charmichael.

I wonder if we would have gotten an extension of training camp if he or Parcells had been named our interim head coach at the outset.

Gruden still has a piece of Payton's anatomy lodged in the back of his throat. He won't be able to call the toss, much less a play.

The Saints will stay in house, of that I'm sure. Who it will be? Not so sure, but my guess is Kromer.

QBREES9 · 08-21-2012, 03:08 PM

I like the guy. But No thanks.

No reason to name Bill... er... someone now who can freely talk to Sean Payton about the offense, as long as Bill... er...that someone agrees to let Spagnuolo do what he does. Better to wait until the last game of preseason to sign B.. er... someone, or even surprise everyone when Bi... er.. that someone walks out of the tunnel come Sunday 9/9/2012
