One thing about Jon Gruden: he'll never be confused for Tony Dungy on the sideline.

Unlike our former coach, who was the model of stoic composure, Gruden is known for his fiery antics and endles variety of facial expressions. His most famous, of course, is that eyebrow-scrunching scowl that many believe closely resembles Chucky from the slasher movie Child's Play.

Along with a new offense next season, expect to see more than a few Chucky dolls at Raymond James Stadium.
