We've got enough issues in this country without worrying about some of the things we're worrying about. It's unbelievable to me. And as long as I'm alive, I know what football gave me. It taught me my work ethic. It gave me a sense of discipline.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
I learned from Al Davis. We didn't have any secretaries. Secretaries, really, in Oakland were young football people.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
The Gruden-McVay relationship goes all the way back to 1970. John McVay and my dad are best of friends. My dad continued to work with McVay as a 49er. When John McVay became the general manager, he hired my dad to be one of his scouts.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
From the standpoint that you try to adjust your offense to your quarterback, you try to adjust your football team around your players. You do the best you can with the hand that you have, and you've got to add some parts along the way.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
When we had a great defense at Tampa Bay, we always measured our defenses against the best quarterbacks.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
You think of Brady, you think of Rodgers, Roethliseber, Eli Manning. They're icemen. They have no feelings - none. They're able to concentrate on a snap-by-snap basis.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
Eli Manning is the one man I just don't want to see in the playoffs. He is a flatliner.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
I think when you get Robert Griffin, one of the most explosive quarterbacks to ever play the position, in a Mike Shanahan-type system, the possibilities are very exciting, I think, with Mike Shanahan's imagination.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
If you're a young kid out there, put away your Twitter accounts if you want to be a pro football player. Somebody's going to hack your account; somebody's going to cause you problems.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
You have to help your players understand that when they speak to the media, or when they tweet or text or e-mail, a lot of times, they become public knowledge.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
It doesn't make much sense to blitz a guy that gets rid of the ball in less than 1.5 seconds.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
There are very few passions in my life - The man upstairs, family, and football.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
I had all kinds of different quarterbacks. But we never drafted a first-rounder.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
I break down the tape like I'm a quality-control coach, just like I was with the Packers in 1992. I break it down by hand, every play.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
If it wasn't for football, a lot of the best times of my life, my brother's life, my dad's life, wouldn't exist.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
There are not a lot of things that Andrew Luck can't do, but the thing I like about him is his work ethic. He's a workaholic, and that's what impresses me the most.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
You miss the adversity. The journey is what I'm talking about. Helping a guy get better. Seeing a guy get a contract. And seeing a seventh-round choice or free agent make the team.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
When you're the head coach, you coach 53 people, and their wives and their girlfriends and their families and all those people.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
Tebow is the kind of guy who could revolutionize the game. He's the 'wildcat' who can throw. Most of the teams that have the wildcat back there, it's Ronnie Brown, it's Jerious Norwood, it's whoever you want to say it is. This guy here is 250 pounds of concrete cyanide, man. And he can throw. He throws well enough at any level to play quarterback.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
Carson Wentz, when you watch him on tape, No. 1, I just like a big guy that has athleticism.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
Mariota is special in a lot of ways. He's a dynamic dual threat on the field, and he is humble - no-nonsense, full of character - off the field.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
You don't want to read about your quarterback in the newspaper every day of the week.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
I've always coached energy, hustling, rushing to the pile, and if it is wiggling, you do hit it because guys are fighting for yardage, and sometimes, you've got to give up the ball because of one inch.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
I feel a lot of unfinished business and loyalty and responsibility to get the Raiders going again.
Quote by -Jon Gruden
Nobody talks about Shaq Thompson. I don't know what he is. He's like a nickel corner/linebacker.
