John Clayton and Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, report the firings of Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden and general manager Bruce Allen cost roughly $25 million in contract commitments, according to multiple sources. Gruden had signed a three-year, $15.3 million extension and was under contract through 2012. Allen was earning more than $2 million annually.

Folks in Tampa gonna be paying for that $25million. I'd bet ticket prices go up.

There HAD to be some sort of a bad argument. Most owners and presidents are arrogant dumbasses. What sort of an idiot cans a coach with this kind of a financial stake? Same situation in Denver. Moronic team president wanted to show the "lowly coach" who was in charge. Welcome to the cellar, Doncos!
