Jon Gruden, on February 20, 2002, the day he was officially introduced as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and announced "I'm thrilled to be here, and all I can guarantee is a lot of hard work and effort to try to put the Buccaneers into championship form." Less than 11 months later, Gruden had more than delivered on his promise when Tampa Bay claimed its first NFL title. Gruden became the youngest head coach in NFL history to win a Super Bowl and was also the first non-rookie head coach in the history of the NFL to lead his team to the Super Bowl in his first season with a new team. In the process, Gruden became just the third coach since 1966 to win 40 games before his 40th birthday while also becoming only the third head coach in NFL history to lead a different team to a playoff appearance in consecutive years. In Gruden's three seasons in Tampa Bay, the Buccaneers defense has continued its streak of consecutive finishes in the NFL's Top 10 in total defense, a run that reached a league-best eight straight seasons with a fifth-place showing in 2004. Tampa Bay's pass defense has also remained among the league's elite, finishing No. 1 in the NFL in two of the last three seasons. Prior to his arrival in Tampa, Gruden coached the Oakland Raiders and in 2000, advancing to the AFC Championship Game. Before arriving in Oakland, he was the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles. Before that, he worked for three seasons with the Green Bay Packers as an offensive assistant to Packers head coach and as Green Bay's receivers coach. He was an offensive assistant to the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Following Tampa Bay's Super Bowl victory in January, 2003, Gruden, along with QB Brad Johnson, was the first non-player ever invited by Disney to star in their popular post-Super Bowl "What's Next" commercial. He is the author of "Do You Love Football?! Winning with Heart, Passion, and Not Much Sleep."
