I remember listening to Basilio when we hired Dooley and a fan of La Tech calls up and says..."let me tell you what you will get with Dooley..first-he will piss everyone off, second-he will upgrade your talent, third- he will not win".

Well I have been saying Gruden for a few weeks now. But I am going to be honest, I was starting to question my usually very good sources. Then this morning I have a very large Ole Miss booster friend who got a call from someone I don't know saying all the same things I was hearing. Contract has been signed!!!!

Long Live Jeff.
Well there you have it. He signed with the piglets. Lol.
Here's a good scenario to consider:
The Vols unleash the Dooleywhacker 4 -4 -4 defense on bama and beat them by one on a last second field goal.
Then they travel to SC and early in the game, Spurrier thinks he got a bad call, so he gets that "Oh no, I'm a-dyin'" look on his face. Right about then Bray throws a frozen rope pass that hits Spurrier right in the face, knocking both his visor and that look off his face. And also knocking him out. And since neither team has a coach, the Vols win in an upset.
Then the next day, Dooley is let go and Gruden swoops in and begins assembling the best recruiting class in CFL history.
Everybody wins.
Who sez old folks cannot be optimistic?
Even before Gruden inked this deal with ESPN it was widely known that he would one day return to coaching. Why would he agree to a contract that would prevent him from doing his passion, if the right opportunity arose. He is only at ESPN until the right opportunity comes around, working there gives him a chance to market himself and be around the game. Everyone is reading too much into this ESPN thing.
