He won that Super Bowl with Dungy’s team. He wasn’t a bad coach, but he had 2-3 good years surrounded by 4-5 meh to awful ones.
I never understood the hoopla around him after he got fired.

I have never followed an NFL team more closely. He made that team what it was. Got the most out of his players and won a SB with a middle pack QB in Brad Johnson. Defense was excelent, and he utilized his offensive players extermely well (Jo Jo Vicius!!!). He will get a SB if not 2 in Oakland. Mark my words homeboy.

I give Gruden credit for getting Tampa over the hump, but aside from his first season, he never got Tampa out of the first week of the playoffs. Two division titles that ended with wildcard round exits, and beyond that, a couple of seasons that ranged anywhere from 4-12 to 9-7.

Sounds like he’s trying to prepare Raider nation for what’s to come.

Good for him! I was a huge TB Bucs fan in high school when they won the 2003 SB. Raiders have so much talent, he will do great things there. Also, $100,000,000

And have been since the "The Snake" years ....
He turned Rich Gannon into an MVP QB.
Consecutive playoff runs when with the Raiders.
The Snow Job with NE would of taken them to the SB that year and I doubt they would of lost. Yes ... I still think Brady fumbled ..... Yes ... I do! =)
Super Bowl against TB - That loss was totally on Bill Callahan. He didn't change the offense hardly at all that Gruden put into place thus allowing Gruden to know EXACTLY what the Raiders would be doing and which is why they got torched so badly.
He is a good coach and has a really good QB in Carr. It should be a pretty good team for at least the next 5 years with playoff runs mixed in. I'm happy about this hire. I did like Rio as well though. It was just a bad year is all, it happens.
