I have to disagree as well boss. He needed to go. He couldn't develop talent. He couldn't win a playoff game. Shit half of the time he couldnt even get us to the playoffs. Lets see how many different QB's we have gone through in the last 7 years. Johnson, Simms, Gradkowski, Garcia, Griese. Do i need to continue. That is 5 QB's in 7 years. Sorry you need consistancy at the QB position and that my friend is a major lack of consistancy at the key position of your offense. Sorry but GOOD RIDANCE!

Disagreement is good! I definitely see the argument. Godo and consistent QB's are hard to find and harder to develop. For every Peyton there are far more JP Losman's. His job was to win games. In the end, he did not win enough and management made a change.

Johnson - When removed was horrible (Great SB Win, but done). Simms - (Horrible pre-injury. Not much better post). Bruce - Too much too son broke his head (IMO). Garcia - Solid performer. Regressed this year. Griese - Quality backup.

I'm surprised that this didn't happen years ago. Gruden won a Super Bowl with Dungy's team. Then he proceeded to do nothing else worth mentioning except a couple of first round playoff exits. He's overrated.

The team Dungy him self could not win a Superbowl with? Then Dungy won his Superbowl with Mora's team?

Old, played out argument. If you did not like Gruden, that is fine. Come with more data about what he did with the team. 3 Dvision championships in 7 years. Most wins by a coach in franchise history. Things like that.

I still miss Gruden. :(

@WhatTheBuc Ok, here's some data for you. After winning the Superbowl in 03, Gruden compilled a 45-51 record in 6 seasons. During those six 6 seasons they made the playoffs only twice losing both games at home. In his final season they ended the month of November at 9-3. They lost there next 3 games to drop to 9-6. All they had to do was win there final game at home against The 4-11 Raiders.

Looked easy on paper but in the end they blew a 10 point 4th quarter lead and lost to go 9-7.

Subscribed just cuz u like the bucs

Gruden deserved to be canned. He's overrated and fairly classless. His one Super Bowl was largely the result of Tony Dungy.

Here we go gruden lets go back to the raiders! ahh

[EVHguitarz]

I just hope they don`t bring back Dungy....he doesn`t need to come here....he needs to go to Pitt

What difference does uniforms have to do with how well your team plays football. Obviously, the Silver and Black doesn't work anymore... When all of your "Hall of Famers" played, The Bucs were a "start-up" Franchise. And I'll admit we sucked when we came into the NFL. (Yuckaneers) The difference is today. The Bucs are a legit organization and the Raiders are a joke. Yeah we choked at the end of the year...but you choked at the BEGINNING of the year and where out of it from the get-go!!!
