The Rose Bowl is a lot like that.
NFL.com reports that Jon Gruden says "I'm not even thinking about coaching". I don't recall who said it, but some experienced NFL player/coach/exec once stated that if you fire your coach, it would be a very wise idea to have in mind who you want to replace him, and know your chances on that. Looks like the Raiders may have (once again) failed to do their homework. They have, for now, named Sporano as the interim coach. I have to wonder how Hue Jackson feels? He went 8-8 with first Jason Campbell, then Carson Palmer at QB in 2011, and was promptly fired by the team.
Speaking of Palmer, he is still out, and Drew Stanton will again get the call for the Cardinals.
It looks like Terry Bridgewater will be playing tonight. But I'll take GB.
