If my memory is correct of the seven home playoff games played by the Bucs, Gru coached three.

Of the six division championships won by the Bucs, Gru coached three.

And the only super bowl championship team.

None of the above has occurred since his departure.

The worst of Gru is way better than what we’ve gotten lately. It only ended badly due to ignorant fans and brain dead owners.

Those who booed are not real fans. They are ignorant a-holes.
So it didn’t end well. Get over it. This was about celbrating the SUPER BOWL year.
Was that not good enough for you either? losers

I thought I’d posted this earlier but maybe not…I was there and at first I thought I heard some boos, but then thought, might those people be chanting “GRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!” . I also saw a group of Eagle fans who had made a big sign, written on it “PLEASE GRUDEN, COME TO PHILLY AND SAVE US”

All you fans that get the honor of being in the stadium around my team and don’t go home with a soar throat, busted blood vessel in your hand from clapping should walk the plank.

How do our home field advantage turn into the opposing teams advantage. In Oakland opposing team fans get stabbed jumped beat the hell down( Im totally against that its just a game) and we can’t cheer louder then beagle fans on a important day like that. We had OUR CHAMPIONSHIP BUCS ALL BACK TOGETHER and our fans in the stadium let disrespectful f&$#S OUT CHEER US! Get that stick out your a$$ for one second and realize the moment.
Its my dream to be on the ship or the sideline in Raymond James with our Bucs. So u lucky! UNGRATEFUL F&@#

OFF TOPIC: SportCenter says Talib has made the Pats better! How many games has he played. Lol Haters

Awesome picture and a great article, Joe. Regarding the boo birds; well, if we listen to Andy Reid, it was practically a home game for the Eagles, and he was the coach for that squad when Gruden and co. beat them in their own house, so do you expect anything less? *eyeroll*

But seriously, I’m glad the Glazers brought basically the entire team together, and I’m happy that Monte and Keyshawn were able to make it. Even though Key got himself sent home and traded and Monte was around during the infamous collapse, I still love those guys and both of them were instrumental in helping the Buccaneers win a Super Bowl.

Remember, a Super Bowl win is forever. Be it five years, ten years or one hundred years, a championship squad becomes immortal. Just take a moment to think about what happens if McNabb led a comeback against the Bucs to push the Eagles into the Super Bowl. That incredible 2002 defensive squad, one of the three best defensive units in modern football history (which for me begins around 1980 or so), along with the 1985 Bears and 2000 Baltimore Ravens, would not be included in the discussion of all-time great defensive teams. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the Buddy Ryan coached Eagles teams of the early to mid-90′s. They played in some classic games and had one of the best defensive lineups in recent memory. They had the stats to back up their defensive dominanc , but what did they win? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Yes, Reggie White would go on to the Packers and would win his championship to cement his storied career, but what about some of the other guys on the squad? Winning the Super Bowl is the stamp of approval for greatness and what will one day result in at least five defensive players on the Bucs to get serious Hall of Fame consideration (Brooks and Sapp are the sure bets, Lynch should get in on his second try, Ronde Barber will also eventually make it and Simeon Rice will at least be on the ballot, and I think should be in the Hall of Fame, but he might not make it in until he’s a senior committee nominee).

When that team took the field at halftime, I’m confident that every true Buccaneer fan stood up and did one thing; cheered.

Typical bucs fans. Cant even drown out boos from philly fans to honor a super bowl winner.

Reminds me of the skins and giants home playoff games after we won the division.

I wonder whether we deseeve a winner.

The local sports media had A LOT to do with destroying Jon Gruden’s image. Perhaps THAT is where the blame should lie.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I’M ALMOST 60 AND BEEN A BUCS FAN SINCE 1976 AND I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE DEAD AND BURIED BEFORE THE BUCS EVER WON A SUPER BOWL. AS FAR AS I’M CONCERN JON GRUDEN WALKS ON WATER. THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM THE BUCS HEAD COACHING JOB FOR LIFE. I’M HOPEFUL THAT I’LL LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER ONE BUT I’M NOT COUNTING ON IT.
