Jon Gruden Welcomed In The Stadium By Team Glazer
November 10th, 2024
So the Tampa Bay public address announcer was loud and proud in the first quarter today bellowing at Bucs fans to welcome Jon Gruden, the Super Bowl-winning head coach ousted from the Buccaneers Ring of Honor.
What a moment it was.
Gruden was seen smiling in the front row of a suite on the JumboTron.
It’s not Gruden’s first trip back to The Licht House since Team Glazer stripped him of his honor three years ago. However, this time he was a special guest of ownership, per Rick Stroud of TampaBay.com, who says the appearance was a step toward putting Chucky back in the Ring.
Joe has been hammering the keyboard about making this happen for years, so Joe is so glad Team Glazer has taken this step.
Bucs ownership has said for decades that it believes in second chances. That’s not Joe saying Gruden deserved to have his place in Team history torn down, but it is Joe saying that it’s nice to see Team Glazer has stuck to its core beliefs.
Time to move forward.

Glad gru is making progress, just keep him away from personel lol

No one wanted him out of the ring to begin with except purple-haired bipolar Twitter addicts. Glad to see the Glazer’s correcting their own failure.

Do you think a casual conversation of Jon Gruden’s availability for coaching next season will come up between him and the Glazer Family. Hmm this is very interesting timing for this to happen. If there is an opening at HC in January 2025. Yes Belichick would be great, But Jon Gruden back in Tampa as HC sounds good too!!! Just saying…interesting. Welcome back Jon Gruden!!! Go Bucs!!
November 10th, 2024 at 1:43 pm
Hell, if they really believe in second chances, rehire him as HC.
November 10th, 2024 at 1:45 pm
Man thats awesome stuff….you simply cannot tell the story of Bucs football without Gruden.
November 10th, 2024 at 1:53 pm
Why would anyone want him back? Career .500 coach with one truly great year to his name

UKBuc, you obviously were not here for Leeman Bennett. Ray Perkins. Greg Schiano. Richard Williamson. Lovie Smith and some other misfits of science.
If you were, you’d be begging for someone like Gruden.

Nice move the Bucs.
He got done dirty by Snyder.
November 10th, 2024 at 2:11 pm
Id hire Gruden way before Id hire Liam Coan at HC.
Dont know why some fans want another 3 years of Dirk Koetter.
November 10th, 2024 at 2:13 pm
I was here from Gruden. He is what he is a .500 coach.
November 10th, 2024 at 2:23 pm
Mod hair
I was here . UK is right. A 500 coach whose offense only averaged 1 point more than Dungys.
Gruden got us a SB, got out of his lane and destroyed this franchise.

Goood

Destroyed the franchise? Hmmm. That’s a little strong. I guess Brady did, too, under that analysis.
You ungrateful fans are beyond help.
107 coaches have above a .500 record in the history of the League. How many coaches have won a SB?

Think the name goes back in the ring?
Meybe with masking tape, just in case any more transcripts mysteriously appear in the commissioners office.
Gorilla glue is out of the question. Gotta be easy up, easy down

Woke is dead! Thank you Trump!
November 10th, 2024 at 2:45 pm
Chucky belongs in the ring..
November 10th, 2024 at 2:46 pm
The Lost Decade happened for a reason.
November 10th, 2024 at 2:46 pm
UGH!
November 10th, 2024 at 2:47 pm
Bring him back.
November 10th, 2024 at 2:53 pm
Ok, where did my post go?
November 10th, 2024 at 3:11 pm
Un-cancel Chucky, such a boss move by ownership.
November 10th, 2024 at 3:16 pm
Great news Guys. I’ve always felt Chucky got a raw deal. Put him back in our Ring of Honor.
November 10th, 2024 at 3:24 pm
It just makes you want to cry. Because you know..the 49ers are gonna score. its just a matter of time.
November 10th, 2024 at 4:03 pm
Gruden sucks at drafting and evaluating players. No thanks. We had our run with him. Let be in the past. Put him in the ROH if the Glazers have moved on, but that’s it.
November 10th, 2024 at 4:05 pm
Didn’t John Gruden say the N-word over and over??????? I believe so.
November 10th, 2024 at 4:06 pm
I’ll take all the credit, I’m wearing my Chucky ❤️ Football shirt at the game right now.
November 10th, 2024 at 4:13 pm
I approve of gru being put back in the ring…not back as HC.
November 10th, 2024 at 4:15 pm
“Not tearing history down.” Remember that libs. Bye bye 2020. No one liked it and no one likes you. New day, back to being normal
November 10th, 2024 at 4:17 pm
Gruden and Baker would sell tickets, at least for awhile.
November 10th, 2024 at 4:18 pm
You shouldnt have your life/career/legacy ruined because private messages were “leaked”.
Every single one of our lives/careers would be over.
The NFL did him wrong. I hope he gets hundreds of millions of dollars in his lawsuit.
November 10th, 2024 at 4:29 pm
Maybe Chucky was there today, offering to help Cohen lead the team in an advisory role to him as head coach if they lost today. It could help him return to the league, save face, and look good to the Buccaneers. If they perform well, he might have a chance to get back into coaching in a year or two.
November 10th, 2024 at 5:08 pm
Bring him back now! Ridiculous to not hire this Super Bowl coach. Gruden will keep our outstanding OC. GM needs to make a move or he will be moving.
November 10th, 2024 at 6:34 pm
I am glad he was welcomed back. I am sad they couldn’t win.

And that year was with Tony’s team.
He might be good with the Gators, though

He called the Gazers c$&@suckers. If owned a business and one of my former employees referred to me as that they would be banned from the stadium, let alone have their name on it.
November 10th, 2024 at 11:06 pm
About GD time. Gruden does need redemption or a second chance. The Glazers were cowards for taking him out in the first place.
November 12th, 2024 at 12:11 pm
Put a contract in front of him! We need him back…
