Jon Gruden Fired as Bucs Coach


In a stunning development that no one in the NFL expected, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden late Friday afternoon. And in what could be even more of shock, the Bucs plan to replace Gruden with Raheem Morris, who has never been anything more than a position coach in any of his six seasons in the league, SI.com learned Friday night. - Sports Illustrated

This guy will get snatched up fairly quickly by someone. He is way to good of a coach to sit idle unless he wants to.

It seems amazing that they would replace him with Raheem Morris? The Bucs were 9-3 and lost four straight to miss the playoffs. Most of that was due to the a defensive collapse and was under Defensive Coordinator Raheem Morris. He replace Monte Kiffen for the last month of the season.

Word is that he may go coach at Notre Dame. Maybe the Badgers could snatch him up instead - we could use him!!
