Oddest Coach Hiring ever?

[rpeiper]

2009 season and both the Bucs and Pats lost in the championship game. John Gruden quit the Bucs after that game and signed as a SPECIAL TEAMS COACH with the Pats!

Except he already has one when he beat the Raiders.
Still a hilarious coach hiring. Gruden tends to leave, he became the head coach of the Eagles after Reid left.

I felt odd when I hired Rodney Harrison as my DBs coach on my Fins career.

I am in season 4 with the pats and Gruden also signed to be my special teams coach in season 3...BTW...he is not a good STC. he then moved on to HC some team...I dont remember which...but it was really weird. Now mike Martz is my STC...I guess he saw it as a springboard to greatness.

I really wish I could get Mike Martz as my ST Coach. Would be so funny since I am running the Martz Passing Attack as my playbook.

I can just see him in the meetings "I wrote that playbook and now HE is running it.. whatever"

Oddest is that anyone hired me, at 7 ovr. You'd think they could give you slightly more points to start with.

oh, and the Pats QB coach kind of blows in that he is so limited...and once Brady leaves(retires or FA) you need someone to coach up a rookie or upgrade a fill in. I cut the guy loose and Jeff Garcia (the crispest QB in the SF area) took the job. He is fairly good and is leaps and bounds better than his predecessor.

The Raiders have had a complete overhaul of coaching staffs the last 3 seasons in my game.
