Excited to finally see some results for the Lions, the offseason is going to last forever just because I can't wait for the next season to start.
I could see Gruden landing in San Fran but I don't know if has shown any interest in returning to coaching next season.

Having a friend that's a lions fan, I've been enjoying watching them and even rooting for them to win several games.
So, Yoshi, I know Drew Brees is better than Tom Brady, but how much better would you say?
You can start with two inches of hair.
I don't understand how officials miss Graham's ass being down on the "fumble" and Thomas' knee being down a yard back of the spot in the last three minutes of the game. The officiating seems to get worse every year. They really need unlimited challenges until you miss one or two, because that shit is just ridiculous.
I was reading an article about Jason Garrett today, and it mentioned Jerry Jones saying that no coach had ever won a Super Bowl with a second team. What an odd but true factoid. I know it to be true, but I had never thought about it before. I think a lot of it is that coaches who build winners tend to be older and walk off into the sunset. And then there are the George Seiferts, Barry Switzers, Mike Tomlins, etc. who win with another guys team. John Gruden seems like a candidate to break that streak, but I tend to trust offensive guys less, as they are usually pass happy.
I think you can also factor in there that winning a Super Bowl (or even reaching one depending on the franchise) earns a considerable cache for the coach in terms of keeping his job in the years following. Teams will be reluctant to fire a Super Bowl winning/reaching coach, chances are they will stick around longer than they probably should have. See Brian Billick with the Ravens, Jim Fassel with the Giants, and you could maybe throw in Tom Coughlin now.
Billick is probably young enough to come back to coaching, although personally I think he's garbage as a coach.
Shanahan isn't going back to the Super Bowl, no way imo. What was he thinking taking over Washington's roster and then willingly decide to install a 3-4 defense. Nevermind waste a pick on inaccurate fatty McNabb.
Your starting NFC Pro Bowl quarterback, ladies and gentlemen. What a fucking fraud.
