HoosierCat Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I didnt think they were allowed to do that, i guess i was wrong.Yah, me neither. Live and learn.Word this morning is that Pats OC Bill O'Brien is headed to Penn State. O'Brien was reportedly one of the coaches that the Jags asked permission to interview. So one less guy in the mix at Jax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Ray Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 If they've waited this long to contact the Bengals, they should be told that they can't talk to Gruden until after tomorrow's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 The Columbus Dispatch this morning wrote that Jim Tressel was a candidate for the Jacksonville job. They said he was a "serious" candidate for the Tampa Bay job, then said,Tressel has also been named as a possible candidate for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ job. The Colts finished the regular season in Jacksonville last weekend and, because the Buckeyes were there preparing for the Gator Bowl, several Ohio reporters planned to talk with Tressel after the game, but he left without talking to the media/>http://www.buckeyextra.com/content/stories/2012/01/06/rumblings-1-6-art-gbufi0tb-1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcom69 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Well Nfl Network Jason La Canfora said that Gruden is not going anywhere he is happy in cinci, Rams and Jags wanted to talk, but said he was happy in cinci. Guess he didnt feel he was ready, or maybe he thought there was unfinished business here LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcom69 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Good for Jay.Good for Dalton as well! Now Gruden can maybe put in the rest of his playbook, and these guys can have a full offseason to work on things. This makes me pretty happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w8th Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 He takes over for Marvin after next year. He knows he can get paid here for years and only have to produce mediocre results. What's not to like about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Ray Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I don't agree with Gruden on the offensive line:“I don’t know how it is on other teams, but we’ve got a great room,” Gruden said. “They’re great guys. They want to work, they want to practice. You’ve got a great young wide receiver, a great young quarterback, a great young tight end, a solid offensive line. You’ve got a lot of good things.”Let's hope he doesn't really believe that. Improving that line is the key to improving the offense. I don't think we'll see much improvement on that side of the ball without some guards. He'd better know that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I for some reason dont see Livings going anywhere, this team is in love with not sure why, but i dont see him being replaced. Only guy is maybe Williams, but other than that im not seeing the changes! This offseason has to be all about the running game on offense, they need more balance, you cant throw the ball 40 sometimes and expect to be ok, esp a rookie QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livings is the same guy they had in 09, and was starting then. You would think if the coaches saw this, things would have changed by now. I hope things will change this offseason, but i was also hoping this years ago and they havent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
