Lucius...Im not a fan of the NFL at all or even a Gruden fan really...but the coaches in the NFL are hindered or helped by $$$$$ the owners pay for players or if they do soend money...they spend it wisely. HCs in the NFL do not distate who is drafted...teams have white collar stiff necks do all the research and the GM and the accountants do the drafting....so please don't point out Grudens record under cheapskate ownership of the Glazers.

A PRIME example of this is Dan Marino...who I considered one of the top 3 all time pro QBs to ever play....amd I watched Unitas, Tittle, Starr, Snead, Gabriel and guys like Bartowski.
Marino never had run game to help him and seldom had a defense...but he did have awesome WRS who were not that highly paid.

Gruden would have college QB under his wing develop into a winning QB and able to pick apart defenses.

That's changed more recently. A lot HCs are really involved in the personnel decision making (not officially in title, but they're very influential).

As for Gruden, I actually think it's an interesting name that I hadn't thought about in all this searching. So it was fun to talk about at least
