That's different though, Gruden being out of actually coaching and just being an analyst gave him a large "air of mystique". Especially since over the years his name kept getting thrown out for whatever high profile coaching position was open, whether it was college or pro. Hairball has been coaching, and doing it quite bad for what he's been paid to do. He has no mystique like when he was at Stanford or San Fran, he just has shtick at this point. And Idk if a GM/owner would back up the Brinks truck for him anymore. Now can he still get a NFL coaching gig, sure. But it will be at a reduced price, and he'll have a much shorter leash. He's been(and continues to be) exposed, he got lucky with 2 QBs(1 who was extremely talented and 1 who fit his system very well) and has done nothing since. And it can be argued that he never really "developed" Luck, because the kid was already uber talented and came from high football pedigree, Luck could've essentially gone to almost any school and had success in college, it just so happened that Hairball got him, and none of the TX schools put up much of a fight, and it made him look like a genius.
