I got a lot of the greatest values in life from playing sports, from playing football - teamwork, sportsmanship, my work ethic, resiliency, dedication - I got it all by being on a team.
Jon Gruden -
All I really have going is football. I don't know what I would do without it.
Jon Gruden
-
I kind of like to be one of the guardians of the game.
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.
Jon Gruden -
Some people feel pressure; some people don't.
Jon Gruden -
I hate to predict my future. I never really thought I would be a head coach at 34 years old. I never thought I would be traded to Tampa. I never even really thought I would be fired, even though I probably deserved it. I try not to predict things.
Jon Gruden -
If you're a leader, can communicate, and have a great work ethic, those are the things you're looking for.
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.

I like being with the quarterbacks. I like calling the plays.
Jon Gruden -
Cancer is tough. It is a relentless opponent that won't seem to go away.
Jon Gruden -
I coached the Bucs with a Florida State quarterback named Brad Johnson. Things worked out all right.
Jon Gruden -
If I ever come back and coach, I'm never huddling again!
Jon Gruden -
I draw plays every day.
Jon Gruden -
I love Olivier Vernon, and I wish he knew how much I appreciate him by just watching him.

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.
Jon Gruden -
There's a lot of things I could've done better, and I regret not doing better. I do know I always gave it my best shot.
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.
Jon Gruden -
Eli Manning is the one man I just don't want to see in the playoffs. He is a flatliner.
Jon Gruden -
Antonio Gates is spectacular. But he's not a blocking tight end.
Jon Gruden -
I miss high school football.
Jon Gruden
-
You have to keep trying to get better.
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.
Jon Gruden -
To be a good analyst, you need to know what the trends are and what teams are doing.
Jon Gruden -
You have to be able to recognize defenses on your own in pro football. You can't look to the sideline and read some board. You've got to recognize the defense on your own, and then you've got to communicate to your offensive teammates what you want them to do.
