being banned from doing something you love has nothing to do with the amount of money you might have Originally Posted by nevergaveitathoughtLOL. It's always about the money. Gruden was completely content with his Monday Night Football booth job. Mark Davis was chasing him for years to convince him to coach the Raiders. Do you know what finally convinced Gruden to change his mind? A 10 year guaranteed contract for $75M. He did it for the money.
You get 10 years in college football if you are an elite coach, but you sure the fuck don't get that guarantee in pro football as an average coach like Gruden who won a SB with Tony Dungy's players and then coached .500 ball afterwards and got fired. Gruden was hired because they were switching cities and he was an established TV personality on MNF. He was the face of the franchise. Who the fuck else would the Raiders have as the face, Derek Carr? LOL
Again, I don't think what he emailed was that big of a deal, but I don't give a shit about words. I only care about people's actions so I fully realize that I am the exception and not the norm. He just talks like a loud mouth old school coach to me so he just comes across as a harmless loud mouth obnoxious ham IMO.
