Can we get a stadium chant for we want Gruden during the game?  We need a tough coach that wants to play physcial in Philly and I think Gruden would be a great fit.

[nipples]

Gruden is a terrible coach, I have no clue why people want him. Stupid.

[DawkinsOwnage03]

No Gruden, do whatever it takes to get Dungy here.  We need a defensive minded head coach with a proven record.

[Fingolfin]

You know, I actually hadn't thought of this either that Gruden will be there for our Monday night game. It's going to add more propane to a burning tanker being a nationally-televised game.

[odin8888]

No! Steal Sean Peyton from New orleans - whatever it takes!

He's got a name people recognize and they don't remember anything in Tampa outside of 2002. They forgot that the team never won another playoff game. They forgot that the team had an epic collapse in 2008. They forgot that the team went through more than 10 different starting QBs under Gruden.

[Fingolfin]

He also got the best out of old geezer QBs. Guess who getting up there in age

Sean Peyton had one good year with one of the best QBs in the NFL. He also had one of the best DCs. I don't think he will be the answer, nor do I believe he will sign anywhere but the Saints.

The Eagles and every other team that was interested in him have next to no shot at getting him because of a couple reasons.

1) The NFL voided his contract extension not the Saints. The Saints still want him and he still wants to be there.

2) No team can talk to him until after the Super Bowl which gives the Saints (at this point) a 3 month head start.

The situation would be different if the Saints voided the extension and made it clear that he was done in New Orleans but that's not what happened.

[L.E.]

But we don't want Gruden.

[D-Shiznit]

In terms of the old guard, I only want Dungy or the Tuna. Other than that, hit up the Kelly's from College or Mike McCoy/Fewel.

Unless Payton makes it to FA, then break the bank/mint/state treasury/IMF and Bill Gates' piggy bank for him.

[OhsoClose]

Gruden can't draft. Any success was with other coaches players. Give me Dungy.

[Fingolfin]

I don't get the obsession with Dungy, he never impressed me as a coach and rode on the coattails of arguably the most prolific passer in NFL history with only 1 ring to show for it. His defenses gave up huge points every week and the running game was non-existent......sound familiar?

Parcells will be 72 before the start of next season.

Gruden isnt my 1st choice as next Eagles HC but I wouldnt complain if he was hired as our next coach.

Gruden would be like a 5hr energy drink, great at first but as time goes so will your Gruden high..

[nottsfootballfan]

I'd rather get someone new.

HUH? Dungy would have won his first with Tampa but Gruden stole it. His defense in Tampa was smart and tough. When he got to Indy they had NO defense and NO running game. Of course you ride a top 10 all time QB's coattails, but he almost got a superbowl with Brad Johnson. The guy used the personel he had and made them better.

We would be lucky to have Dungy.

[yonushonis]

It has to be Jim Mora Jr.  HIre him before firing Andy.

Andy can find out at the news conference for Mora that he no longer is employed.

[nottsfootballfan]

The colts and the saints defenses have been awful, I dont want payton or dungy.

Dungy only won a superbowl because he got to play rex fricking grossman in it.

[Baynit]

Anyone but Chucky, heck I think i'd rather have the fat man back.....

[greenpassion]

gruden would be great for 2-3 years

his style of challenging his guys is just what this team needs, i agree it would be short-term but you never know what could happen in that short time

after a few years yes it gets real old real fast

[nipples]

Sean Payton will be back with the Saints, I'm not sure why this became such a huge topic. Just because the league voided his last extension doesn't mean he can't sign another one. He isn't going anywhere.

The NO situation could still hold some significance potentially though. Joe Vitt has the Saints playing well now, who knows where they would be if he hadn't been suspended for the first 6 games. If he keeps them rolling forward and goes on a playoff run, it might be enticing to bring him into Philly in the offseason after Payton resumes his role as NO head coach.

How weird would it be to see the Tuna coaching the Eagles???

[DieHardPhan]

Gruden's SB title overshadows his team's poor performances generally speaking..

Yes, I know he has one more than we do...., but.......I forgot what I was saying.

[CalgaryFan77]

Given our structure we need a person who is going to be a head coach & talent evaluator.  We need someone who can bring in their own coaching staff and bring in quality players while at the same time get the most out of the players that are already here.

I don't think Gruden is the right guy for the job. I'm not really sure who is, there are a lot of really good coordinators out there, who I think can coach players really well, but I'm not sure if they are ready for the responsibility of managing a whole coaching staff, the draft and everything else.

[purephillyfan]

We need to get rid of Howie!!! Hire Jimmy Johnson to take his place.

Johnson says that he takes more pride in what he did as the Cowboys’ general manager than in what he did as the Cowboys’ head coach.
“I was the personnel director there with the Cowboys,” Johnson said. “My pride was collecting the talent and putting together the team that won the Super Bowls.”

It might be worth it.  Dungy is the best coach out there.

[Iron_Eagle_04]

No, No, no, no, no.   No Gruden!!!
