True, I mean dollars are worth a dollar apiece

December 13, 2016 11:48AM
so yes it's a big raise in dollars.

But moving from 6.5mil in a long-guaranteed position with ESPN THROUGH 2021 is a lot easier for him than taking a risk, even for more money, hopping into the Rams HC position. I'm sure he wants to coach again, but ESPN has him locked up pretty tight. Especially when you compare even nearly doubling his salary to 12 million, in a position he could flop out from in 2 years. Bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.

Despite owning a business and investing part-time I have a pretty strong risk-o-meter. I'd probably take the ESPN gig unless it was my lifelong dream to win ANOTHER Superbowl. I don't know if it is with Gruden. With ESPN, he bets on himself. All he's gotta do is talk football and keep me interested. With the Rams, he bets on himself AND the Rams organization, where a lot of things are out of his control even as Head Coach.

  Gus Bradley's defense would work well with our front

  If not for the draft pick compensation, I'd go with Carroll.

  I'm with you as far as a prime target being Gruden

MamaRAMa537December 13, 2016 10:49AM
