Top 5 head coach candidates for Buccaneers
By Josh Hill
48. . N/A. N/A. Jon Gruden. 5. player
Why They Fit: Well, it worked the first time when it seemed like an impossible idea. Jon Gruden getting traded from the Raiders to the Bucs in 2002 was something that was almost unfathomable to think about, but it ended in the franchises’ only Super Bowl win and the culmination of all the work Tony Dungy put in during the Bucs rise in the 90s. Once again it seems almost impossible that Gruden will be the Buccaneers head coach — which means it has to work. He’d finally have a franchise quarterback to develop and banishing him back to Tampa would allow us to turn off mute during Monday Night Football.
Why They Don’t Fit: Because the laws of physics wouldn’t allow this to happen. There is no logic in the world that would link up in a way to allow this to happen. Malcolm Glazer may be dead, but the rest of his family is alive — the same family that fired Gruden in 2008 and started this snowball effect of never finding a head coach they liked. That doesn’t totally shut the door to a reunion, but dogs will shit lollipops before this ever happens.
Will It Happen: No. Nein. Non. Aon. In every single language in the world — no.
