'Blowhard' Jon Gruden is clueless

Gruden needs to get the rules straight
Mike Pereira, FOXSports.com



C’mon man!

I’m talking to ESPN announcer and former coach Jon Gruden, because I need to set the record straight.

I am not a fan of Gruden’s. Not today, not yesterday, not when I worked for the NFL and not when I was working on the field as a side judge. He was a loudmouth as a coach who constantly disrespected officials and he is a blowhard in the broadcast booth who spouts off when he doesn’t know what he is talking about.

I respect his knowledge about the X’s and O’s when it comes to coaching and playing the game of football, but I have very little respect for him when it comes to officiating and his knowledge of the rules. ...............(more)

1. Far be if from me to take Gruden's side, but this guy writes for Fox Sports...

so not knowing the particulars, I have to say Gruden is blameless here.

2. This guy

is the former official you often see during a challenge during Fox's games. I have to say he is quite good, from all the games that I've seen of him he is 100% in correctly picking the challenge decisions. He really helped me understand some rules and what the refs looking for during certain challenges.
