Jeff Garcia rips on Gruden
After reading this, there is no way I'd ever want Gruden as coach.
In an interview with TV station WTSP, Tampa Bay Buccanneers quarterback Jeff Garcia did not hold back in his feelings towards recently-fired head coach Jon Gruden, as reported by the St. Petersburg Times.
"I know for me personally, going through that with him was a very difficult time, disappointing time. But the one thing that I always tried to look back on or reflect on was that I wasn't the first and I won't be the last. If it continues to be this way with players, it is going to get to a point where somebody who is above or in control will say 'Enough is enough.' I think that's what it got to. There are players who were here in the past before I got here who had their own experiences of how they were treated or how they were misled. For the two years that I was here, I enjoyed my experiences on the field with coach Gruden but there were some things that obviously rubbed me wrong and I'm sure they were not easy to deal with. But I'm just one guy. Whatever the reason was that they made the change, they felt it was time to make the change."
Garcia, who will be a free agent in March, also told the station that he does have interest in remaining with the team under a new coaching staff led by Raheem Morris. "I am open to listening if they want to talk. That's what it's basically going to come down to. It's really not in my court. The ball's not in my court - it's in theirs."

Yeah, They Had A Nasty Feud
To be fair to Gruden, it wasn’t like Garcia was tearing things up when he was on the field, but his rotational QB thing with Garcia and Griese just didn’t make sense.

This is true
But Garcia seems like a good guy and was a good player for him. Gruden seems difficult to work with.

Actually
I always thought that Garcia came off as a real prick. But he’s been a solid player for most of his career and I thought how Gruden handled him was pretty questionable.

Maybe
I don’t know a whole lot about Garcia other than my impression of him was good. Also, he has a hot ass wife for how ugly he is.
