The team played better when he left mid season.
Yeah they did get that rally bump, but he was still overall inching forward.

Inching towards mediocrity because he was keeping and handling 4 with kiddie gloves

Part of Grudens inching forward was continually signing veterans at the expense of developing young talent. Due to terrible drafting and a lack of player development the cupboard was very bare and there was no more going forward, just sign stopgap after stopgap to keep the boat from completely sinking.

Inching forward is an improvement around here, by 2035 he could have got us to 10 wins! :)

This is because Gruden is a fraud. He is a bad coach, he cannot teach and develop players. He needs vets, who he doesn't need to teach, in order to carry him.

Overbearing, swaggering, narcissistic, tin plated dictator with delusions of godhood.

I kinda did. I inserted the narcissist part because it’s also a defining part of his character. Good catch, great response and great episode…

Every rank list Ive seen has it as 2nd best episode. Its 1st in my book. The non-stop comic relief. The well-choreographed bar brawl. And especially the way the screenwriter scripted the slowly-unfolding double irony motif was the best writing in the series. Pure genius.
