How Jon Gruden raised a generation of coaches at the rat-infested 'woodshed'

The future of coaching in the NFL emerged from a woodshed.

In 2004, Jon Gruden was in his third season as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Each morning, Gruden would rise at 3:17 and head to work at One Buc Place, the team's training facility that Gruden semi-affectionately dubbed "The Woodshed."

At the time, the woodshed was the most decrepit facility in the league. It was nearly 30 years old, run down, overrun by rodents and, as one former Bucs staff member said, unlikely to pass any reasonable health or fire code test.
