The End of an Era

Well the Bucs finally fired Jon Gruden. I was wondering when it would happen. Jon took Tony Dungy's Bucs and won a Superbowl...and that's about it. Did they win with him? Yes. But I don't think it is a secret why he couldn't take them back to the top. One key factor to his sudden firing was the chemstry in the locker room. The players didn't really like him. Maybe its because he cursed too much? Maybe he was too complicated. I don't know. I just know I'm tired of seeing my team come up short. This year's collapse was just flat embarrasing. Tgo from 9-3 with control of your own playoff destinty to not even making the playoffs is sad. Losing to Oakland at home is sad. Having your awesome defense get thrashed on MNF is sad. And it is sad that a man with a family is out of job. Nevertheless, it is the end of an era. No more "Chucky" prowling the sidelines.
Raheem Morris is supposed to be the new coach. While most people have no idea who he is...the Bucs do. And why are the Glazer's willing to put the fate of their franchise on a rookie coach? The PLAYERS actually LIKE him. The bottom line...chemistry can sometimes take you farther than competence.
