Super Bowl 37 is infamous for a variety of reasons; Jon Gruden facing off against his former team, the disappearance of Barrett Robbins, and the conspiracy that Raiders head coach Bill Callahan sabotaged the game. Whether or not this is the truth, the story is captivating.

Aaron Smith yea lol im a falcons fan
Aaron Smith Why Shanny?
Im a sad falcons fan.....
They also really never changed the plays from the former year. Thats how Jon Gruden knew
The Kid Joe Sports Show really i feel like they would but idk?
@Zachias Noble. Have you watched the NFL impact of the tuck rule video
Funny in the comments no one is actually talking about Callahan changing the plays the Friday before the super Bowl. It will go down as one of the worst decisions ever considering they still had their plays it seemed like
Ya the game plan changing it on Friday is stupid I understand changing on Wednesday or before
That's why Jon Gruden beat the Raiders. :(
Smooth transition into a promotion. Well done.
Very smooth I was wondering where he was going lol

I swear, I could spend the rest of my life *never hearing about the tuck rule again.*

And yet - *the rest of my life.*
t- milt bad rule, good call
Liam Thomas I agree with this viewpoint alone. I also believe that in accordance to the tuck rule, they made the right call, however, the tuck rule itself is not a good rule.
Liam Thomas yes that’s what it is, it’s one of the worst if not the worst rule ever created, but it was a good call considering the rule at the time, but it’s still complete garbage
Last I heard of it was Romo idk what game tho

@Cletus Anfernee Jackson yeah, because throwing a ball through a hoop is a redeeming quality lmfao
Best story of this game... Rich Gannon made a quote about that game... "its hard to win a game when I each time I called an audible... John Lynch or Derrick Brooks were finishing my sentences. "
Callahan was a JOKE at Nebraska after this.
Midway through Pelini's tenure I saw a game schedule at Runza that looked very official (not sure if it was), but it had all the coaches since Devaney across the bottom.
One was conspicuously missing.
Callahan's time at Nebraska is considered a failure. But in actuality it was more like "meh." His 1st and 4th (final) season were losing seasons but in between he had two winning seasons and an appearance in the Big XII championship and the Cotton Bowl. But in order to meet the standards Tom Osborne set in Lincoln, you need to be a balanced team on both sides of the ball. You weren't gonna get that with the offense heavy Callahan. In his losing seasons there were two occasions his defense gave up 70+ points.
@@TheMrBmurray oh I know. But he was absolutely hated at the time
@@TheMrBmurray His biggest problem was that he was incredibly conceited, in '04 especially. The zone blocking scheme was tough for our big bulldozers to pick up on, but once they finally did, Cory Ross was able to hit cracks and find yardage. What does Callahan do? Throws the ball over and over. I know he wanted to bring in his style, but he was cutting off the nose to spite the face. The losses to Southern Miss and Iowa State in '04 were absolute coaching failures on both sides of the ball. If he would've kept Pelini as DC instead of Cosgrove, we would've been fine. Pederson destroyed our program by bringing in a disgraced NFL washout that never should have stepped foot in Lincoln.
As a life long husker fan I can say he probably isn't welcome back in the state.
The Bucs and Raiders had 6 days between Championship Sunday and that year's Super Bowl
No they didn't

@@birdo623en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002%E2%80%9303_NFL_playoffs#Bracket championship weekend was 16th January and the Super Bowl was 23rd January
That’s weird, why am I remembering it as always being 2 weeks. Maybe it was 2 weeks back in the 1980s and 90s, they switched it, and then switched it back.
that was a damn fumble
Go back in the history and you’ll find out that the same people crying about it being a fumble has no idea that the Raiders were the first team to benefit from the same call.

As a Raiders fan I lived my whole life having to accept that shit storm of a game. Finding out all the details about Callahan changing the game plan & nuking the team all these years later doesn’t really take the sting out of it...
Bill Callahan would become interm head coach of the Redskins after jay Gruden was fired. KTO

I thought that he did good as the interm coach

As a Bucs fan, I'm naturally biased and loved every minute of SB37. After watching horrible seasons from 1984 when I moved to Tampa, it was SO worth the wait.
That said, Callahan was stupid to not change ANYTHING out of Gruden's playbook. No wonder Gru knew everything the Raiders tried to play.
Petition for KTO to make a What If video about the Tuck Rule

The irony, both coaches were actually manning a team that another coach built (IE. TONY DUNGY!!!)
Sometimes new coaches walk right into the perfect situation. Dungy went on to build up the Colts' defense (who had already been built on the offensive side of the ball)... and that put them over the hump several years later enough to beat the Bears in a SB.
You just might... *might* see Dallas do something this year if McCarthy is able to refocus all that talent that the Cowboys have and get them over the proverbial hump.
Who knows..
@@d0nKsTaH You mean "Dungy's" Bucs and the Gruden Raiders?
Matthew Littlejohn actually every team does it different. Some head coaches have control of player personnel.
But this is a coach’s sport, you can have talent and suck due to incompetent coaching.

Wishful thinking. Dynasties aren't built on one play. And al Davis is why the raiders sucked so hard for 2 decades. Even if the raiders won that game vs the Pat's. Long term little would had changed.

Callahan should never have moved past coaching the line, messed us up for years.
Bill Callahan was a HORRIBLE HEAD COACH, but he's an INCREDIBLE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. Even my fellow HUSKER fans would agree with that.
And than Callahan came to Nebraska and ruined our program. I hate that man.

I went to my first Oakland Raiders game as a child in 1977. Lifelong Raider. There's been A LOT of heartbreak being a fan: The move to LA. Losing Bo Jackson forever on one play. Firing Gruden then him destroying us in the Superbowl. Al Davis's horrid draft busts & free agents (Larry Brown, Javon Walker, D'Anglo Hall, Aaron Brooks, etc, etc, etc) Lane Kiffen & the parade of coaches. Jamarcus Russell. Darius Heyward-Bey? Derek Carr's 2016 injury right before the playoffs, Etc, etc, etc, etc, But that Tuck Rule bullshit STILL pisses me off. I'm still convinced the NFL wanted the "Patriots" to win after Sept 11th.
Exactly how perfect is it to have the PATRIOTS win just 5 months after 9-11.
You might be right, in fact there were clearly two seconds left on the clock when that game winning field goal was made, but they kept the clock running anyway so the Rams didn’t get a chance for a kickoff return.
That was the smoothest ad transition I’ve seen in a while.
That Buccaneers team was Tony Dungy’s team. Jon Gruden just inherited them.
It just doesnt matter bro. Tampa would have lost if gruden would have been the raiders coach.

As a Bucs fan, greatest Super Bowl ever. Get lost with the nonsense said by Tim Brown.
Absolutely! The Bucs D was just that good. And not just for that year. From 1997-2002! People keep saying that Gruden knew the Raiders plays. Yeah, and the Raiders knew the Bucs plays too! Same playbook. Also, every single team that studies game tapes, knows every other teams playbook. And, as far as the Tuck rule goes.... well what about the Bert Emmanuel rule during the 1999 NFC Championship game. Bucs could've had 2 Super Bowl victories if not for that debacle.
@@cellslave Completely agree.
I’m just ignore that Super Bowl 37 conspiracy theory and just bank on the fact that are defense was just that good that year but good vid man you never disappoint
I'm pretty sure Callahan didnt change the playbook much either so gruden knew every play they were running basically
Kaleb Anderson yeah, supposedly somebody mentioned that Callahan never even changed the offense and just kept using grudens playbook.
The 2000-2002 raiders are some of the best teams to never win the super bowl. Every year something happened. In 2000 Siragusa took out their QB in one of the dirtiest hits ever in the AFC championship. 2001 was the tuck rule. 2002 was the trade of Gruden and the horrible game planning of Callahan before the super bowl.

Maybe we would still be talking about the Oakland Raiders today if that tuck rule hadn't occurred
RIP Kobe
Over the years he started to admit he was tucking it
you can also clearly see him move his arm down with the ball still in his hands so idk how people would be saying anything different it was the right call at the time though
Incredible how refs can completely change the fortunes of franchises. Raiders lost based on a weaselly rule. You don't call it in that that situation.
If Woodson woulda waited literally half a second it woulda been a fumble. Has to be fully tucked back to the body for it to no longer be considered a pass. Wasn’t a bad call, it was a bad rule which is why the rule no longer exists.
Jeremy Sims but nobody knew about the rule so he didn’t think about it

If he hated the Raiders, why even coach them to the Super Bowl. Why not blow it up earlier in the season?
Something important to remember is the 2002 Bucs weren't just the #1 passing defense that year, they remain the #1 passing defense of ALL TIME. It doesn't matter what gameplan Callahan brought into the game - the Bucs were going to crush either way.
Especially with Gruden knowing the call signals since they didn't change audibles nor snap counts
Yeah, they beat the Eagles in philly to get there, they would have clapped the Raiders regardless
Infamous Horse they had all year long to change the gameplan. You tell me who’s fault is it?
@@abdiasvelasquez1185 It's 100% the coaching staff for not implementing new call signals and audible reads, BUT I will say who would have thought that the Buccs were going to face off against the Raiders in the SB. I can understand keeping the system that has gotten them success. With that, Bill let the team down with his playcalling in the SB same way the Seahawks destroyed the Broncos.
Infamous Horse exactly. I’m tired of people saying gruden knew the raider’s playbook, which he did but who wouldn’t have took advantage of that? Not grudens fault the other team didn’t change it up and I feel bad for what Bill did to the raiders

Nebraska Cornhusker fans know ALL about Bill Callahan.
Callahan RUINED the Nebraska Cornhuskers!
I'm a big PATS fan and an even bigger Brady fan, but the Raiders got hosed on that "tuck rule" call, and I think most people with even a little football experience either playing or watching realize it.
That said then, WHY did Al Davis fire Gruden after the loss?
They got hosed, but they got hosed by the rule, not by the ref. The ref correctly applied the rule, as it had been applied all season. Vinny Testaverde kept the ball for the Jets after apparently fumbling in week 1 that very season against the Patriots. (That was hardly the most consequential outcome of that game, as that's also the game Bledsoe got injured.)
"He completely threw out the Heavy Run Attack and changed the gameplan to throw it nearly every play..."
*Curb Your Enthusiasm theme plays*
If the Tuck Rule never existed, the Raiders might of never moved to Vegas.
Yes, it was heartbreaking. Davis created his own Frankenstein Monster in Gruden, who ended up knowing the Callahan playbook by heart. The Tampa players later admitted to recognizing every formation and every Raider offensive call
If the Tuck Rule play didn’t happen,
Raiders would’ve gone on to lose the Super Bowl to the Rams.
But Davis would’ve hung on to Gruden.
Raiders would’ve won Super Bowl 37 with Gruden as their coach instead of the Buccaneers coach.
As for the Patriots.
Drew Bledsoe is renamed the starter the following season. Tom Brady doesn’t become a legend, doesn’t marry Giselle, and the a patriots dynasty never happens. Giselle goes on to marry Peyton Manning instead.
Exactly
With an aging roster, and Gruden still the HC, the Raiders probably might have drafted Aaron Rodgers, and would not have gone through that QB mess they had for over a decade after Rich Gannon retired.
However, Al Davis was still the boss at the time, he likely would have rejected Gruden from drafting Aaron Rodgers.
I ain’t a Buccaneers fan but the 2002 bucs is one of my favorite teams of all time
Husker fans also want to forget him

Falcons fans: Dan Quinn
KTO: BEEYATCH
RIP kobe
No disrespect but you need to do more research. You had 13 days to prepare for the super bowl. Also, a bunch of people from the Bucs coaching staff knew exactly what the Raiders were gonna do. Gruden knew what they were gonna do because the Raiders were still using the same plays from the previous season when Gruden was the head coach. So they practiced for all those plays and yet the Raiders still ran the same plays instead of changing things up. Plus the Bucs defense was one of the greatest defenses of all time, highly underrated
This whole video was just to laugh at the Raiders for the Tuck rule, huh?

As a Raiders fan this whole video was extremely painful. I feel though if the tuck rule never happened that we wouldn't have fallen into perpetual suck minus the fluke 2016 season when Carr broke his ankle. Atleast this past season our rookie class brought alot of promise to the team.
The last 2 draft classes ☠☠☠
We had the same problem with Mr. C here in Nebraska. There is no fond love for him here at all. With him we lost our continuous run of bowl invites. And it appeared that the AD at the time was in collusion. With Mr. C. saying his full name still puts a bad taste in most of our mouths here in Nebraska..

This didn't age well.
why
This dude was the Huskers coach, and was horrible
“You have six days, to study your opponent.“ if you don’t start studying your opponents well before then, and have your game plan ready to go at the beginning of the week you’ve already lost.
You dont need to study when you have the other teams playbook and you know 80% of the opposing players tendencies.
Dillon Dank LOL, true in this case, but generally speaking you should have a game plan ready to go at the beginning of the week, and you should have your players practicing it and learning it that entire week.
So the Raiders were doomed before they took the field 😬 this explains the 48-21 blowout
it’s so hard being a Raiders fan!!! 😭😭😭 and will thier be a What if the Tuck Rule was a called a fumble
I hate Tom Brady because of the tuck rule
Ethan Frickin' Arnold Why hate Brady for it though? Sure it was a bad rule but it was applied correctly
It was called a fumble at first then it was over turn because the tuck rule. They got the call right by rule and next season the tuck rule was gone even the raiders benefit form tuck rule that season people seam to for get that.
Officials love to screw the raiders. It sucks being a raiders fan sometimes because of the refs
@@maddog6767 People also forget that the Patriots lost a game to the Jets in the 2001 season due to the tuck rule.
Not sold on the conspiracy theory here. That Bucs D was stacked and had shut down the best QBs in the league during the regular season and playoffs (McNabb, Warner, Favre, Jeff Garcia, Michael Vick probably still has nightmares about that D).
Also, it doesn't make a damn bit of sense that Callahan would deliberately sabotage the Raiders - and his own career in the process. A Superbowl win would have meant job security (well as much as a coach could have with Al Davis as owner anyway😛) and millions of dollars in subsequent pay. Even if the guy on the other sideline is your best buddy you're going to try your damnedest to win with that money at stake.
I love a good conspiracy theory - this one just doesn't carry much credibility after thinking it over for a minute🤔.
The thing that sticks out in my mind about this situation is how did the buccs know the Raiders game plan two weeks before the Super Bowl if the Raiders didn't know it until two days before and the fact that the Raiders beat that same buccs team the year before by using a power run game lets me know Callahan threw the game on purpose
There was only one week between the championship game and Super Bowl 37. The Bucs defensive plan all along was to defend against a pass heavy offense because that's what got the Raiders to the Super Bowl and Rich Gannon his MVP. The Raiders game plan was to run the ball because the bucs front 7 was fast but undersized, and some teams had found some success running the ball up the middle on them. Then Callahan probably figured passing the ball was their bread and butter, and he shouldn't change that in the Super Bowl. Gruden, being the architect of the Raiders offense, and having the number 1 defense, with the defensive player of the year in Derrick Brooks, means that the raiders were never going to win the game.
I'd be willing to bet almost anything that Al Davis forced Callahan to change that gameplan. Al loved to throw the ball and probably couldn't see the logic in what Callahan was doing, especially since Rich Gannon was an MVP quarterback that season.
But Callahan's original gameplan was the correct way to attack that defense. Warren Sapp can tell you what it's like to have the other team's offense pound the rock for 60 minutes. It's very hard for a smaller D-line to stand up to that for a whole game.
Classic Brady overturn
You could argue that super bowl 40 is more controversial due to how garbage the officiating was
RIP KOBE AND GIANNA
It doesn’t matter whether Callahan through the game or not. What really matters is that we all know that he wasn’t throwing the ball.
Can’t wait to see Lebron get asked how he feels about Kobe’s death, like he always does 🤦♂️
He will make his answer all about himself somehow.
What a fucking stretch, theyre gonna ask alot of players how they feel
RICE...also said, We saw Coach Callahan talking on the phone in our hotel room. We asked who he was talking to...Coach said, Gruden!! Tim & I looked at each other, & continued on to dinner!!
