jongrudenffca.com/Never heard of this before until I saw Grudens Hat last night. I mean Visor!!! ABOUT THE FFCA
The FFCA is a football think-tank, which welcomes current and former coaches and players to study various phases of the game. The FFCA has become a highly regarded forum for many of the game’s greatest innovators and talent, who strive to improve their knowledge base in order to reach championship levels of performance.
Coach Gruden saw a need – football programs at many high schools are in need of support and financial assistance to aid in the development of student athletes. “I created the FFCA in an effort to give back to the game we all love: FOOTBALL! Please join me, and help keep the game strong!”

I guess that's cool in theory... but why not just come out and say it? seems to me they are trying to pass it off as an educational football site.

Looks like a way for Jon Gruden to make money. You can pay to shoot the bull with him, and then some high school may get a donation at some point.

Gruden has gotten to be such a clown. He's nothing but catch phrases and bit segments on ESPN. He's a very average broadcaster. I'd take a lot of other people over him when it came to watching a game l.
Gruden's Grinder. Spider 2 Y Banana.QB Camp. Gruden's Great Homestyle Gravy and Biscuits.
Contribute something of meaning, Jon. If you're going to be a "football guy," then actually talk actual football. Don't have this mindless crap. He's becoming the next Madden. An old coach who uses catchphrases and charisma to keep his career alive.

You almost forget he was a really good coach
He used to get brought up a lot for every open job
He doesn't get brought up anymore
If he waits another year or two I don't think he will ever go back
Meanwhile we have to suffer through the fat gruden coaching instead of the good gruden

Doesn't need the money, but branding is exactly what this about. A poorly conceived attempt to supply a product/venue that his following can associate with. If Jon Gruden just donates money it becomes a Jon Gruden thing. If the Gruden Academy donates money, well now it is an institution and there could be many administrators of this benevolent entity (folks getting paid) Gruden isn't dumb enough to get back into coaching.

All true. Why coach when you have the job he has? The thing that baffles me? That his stuff looks like a Sophomore used MSPaint to design the stuff they're selling. I mean if he needs a half way competent graphic guy I'd be willing to lend a hand. woof!

You have to remember that 43 year old moms watch MNF and they want to be entertained. Troy Aikman is good, but he's not holding the attention of the fringe crowd that they are looking to get.

Can't wait for him to take over another team somebody else constructed and beat his old team that he installed the offense for ... Oh wait.

I hear fans complaining that Gruden is too technical.
