I think he is not getting credit for the mind set and attitude this team is playing with. You keep that up and the wins will come.

Agreed. It's funny; this is an organization that in a little more than the past decade has done irreparable damage to the reputations of two hall of fame coaches and one borderline hall of fame coach, yet there continues to be this perception that the organization's failure to win is the sole responsibility of whoever is the head coach. I have faith that SM and Gruden can get us on the right track. And if Gruden can't? Well, every time we run a head coach out of town, the job is that much less desirable to the stronger candidates out there.

Under SM, we have turned the corner on that type of thing. This team is not the type of team we have seen in the past 20 years......
If Gruden cannot get it done......you will see a desirable coaching situation emerge.

But as I said Hog - only a handful of these players are SM guys. Gruden has alot of these same players that were here in our past regime playing harder. So again the corner has been turned under both of their watches and i would add that the HC is the one getting these guys in the rite mindset every day.
