One of the storylines from last night’s episode of Hard Knocks was the long lasting relationship between Jon Gruden and his protege turned hottest coach in the NFL, Sean McVay.
Gruden detailed how he created a position for Sean McVay, similar to the ‘piss boy’ position he filled when he broke into the NFL as a Niners offensive assistant. The best part was when they rolled an old clip of a mic’d up Gruden in Tampa giving baby faced 22-year-old McVay a camp grilling about what he was willing to do to make it and his love of the game. Looks like he made it.
What a find here by the NFL Films people. They literally always have film rolling. Remarkable. Watch these two peas in a pod.
Gruden and McVay — 2 coaches that grinded their way up the NFL ladder to the top.
