Monday Jon Gruden was to have his final press conference of the season. Just as he has had the day after every game this season. Then hours before that regularly scheduled press conference, it was moved from the usual spot in the media room to the auditorium. This was to be more than his usual press conference.
On the stage in the auditorium was the three Super Bowl trophies; brought out for special occaions — and the table with three microphones. One for Mark Davis, one for Jon Gruden and, in the middle, one for the man of the hour, new General Manager Mike Mayock.
