Former Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden spoke for the first time regarding his firing last month. "I'm the president of the FFCA ? the Fired Football Coaches of America," Gruden said with a laugh. "I'm not being sarcastic. It's the first time I've ever been fired. It was hard. Man, I'm not good enough. The thing I'm struggling with is I really miss football. My spirits are good. Mike Shanahan got fired, Mike Holmgren's out of football, Brian Billick's out of football. It's the reality of it. I'm really proud of working hard. I've always been taught you can always look yourself in the eye. Is that the best you got? Is that the best you can do? I'm not going to criticize anybody, ever. It's the best I could do."
