John Gruden: The Next Coach of the Denver Broncos
Sign Now
With the recent firing of Josh McDaniels as the Broncos Head Coach, discussion has now shifted to who will be the next coach of our beloved Denver Broncos. The objective of this position is to help ensure that John Gruden lands the job as Denvers next great coach. John Gruden has a career winning record of 95-81 and has served as the head coach of the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has made a trip to the Super Bowl as is regarded as one of the best coaches in the business today.
My Concern as a Broncos fan stems with finding a coach with experience, character and a track record of winning. John Gruden fits with all three of these main ideas. He is a proven veteran coach with strong principals, philosophies and concepts which make him an ideal fit with the Broncos. Perhaps the biggest reason why I feel Gruden is the essential choice to be the next coach of the Broncos is because of his relationship with Tim Tebow. Not many coaches and analysts gave Tebow much of a chance of becoming a great NFL QB in the future but not Gruden. Gruden was a big believer In Tebow and gave many signs to why he believed Tebow would become a great QB in this future. Please take the time to read this article (below) that Gruden wrote for ESPN on Tebow.
Please do the right thing and sign this petition to ensure Denver gets the coach it deserves, there is only one choice for Denver in 2011 and that is John Gruden.

I think Tebow is going to be a tremendous pro. He must continue to work on some of his mechanics, and he might not be a starter right away, but in a very short period of time he's going to be an excellent NFL player.
The thing that most impressed me was when I talked to him about working on his mechanics, and then he went out to the field and worked them out. That's the area where I saw the most progress.
He told me he was going to shorten his stroke, widen his base a little bit, try to eliminate some wasted motion and I saw the improvements. He's worked at it and has made progress. That tells me he's going to continue to get better because this is really important to him.
Tebow went up against JaMarcus Russell, Matthew Stafford and Bradford, and beat them all. His body of work rivals that of anybody else to ever play college football.
Then you meet him and you start to discover his level of football aptitude, and you realize this is a rare, football-smart guy. He's good for any team, any locker room, any city, and he'll prove it.
There is a perception that the Florida offense doesn't translate to the NFL, but I disagree. I think there are some sequences and some things they've done in the passing game concept-wise that carry over.
He's had a lot of responsibilities at Florida, from the various triple options to audibles at the line of scrimmage. There's also a lot about his game that he shouldn't change, like his ability to extend plays.
The big thing for him is to trust his new coach, buy into the system and not get frustrated with a bad period, a bad practice or a lack of reps initially. He just needs to continue to learn and take advantage of his opportunities.
Tebow is going to be great for the league.
