This place is crazy. We have people who first said "no way" who are now believing, and we have people who have said he is coming now saying it can't be done. I kind of just want November 24 to get here, but this place has provided great entertainment for the last couple of weeks.

Just curious, who is this? From what I've seen the people who said he's coming have stand pat, while there are a few skeptics who have switched to pro Gruden but not the other way around.

So, let me get this straight. Landscape is calling the folks with "sources" liars because of what his own "source" told him. . .

I never said they were liars. I never attacked anybody. I believe they are getting it from reliable sources on certain issues but this isn't one of those issues. Former players aren't reliable sources on potential coaching moves. The reason the AD and Gruden haven't said anything is the same reason Randy Shannon isn't the defensive coordinator because they were internet rumors, not reality. Coaches and AD's don't comment on fantasies.

One disagreement. Internet is reality these days. Things spread like wildfire with social media, and people talk about it. I have discussed Gruden at my office and among professional friends. It isn't just this forum.

I don't like this because it could potentially square with what the "insiders" in this thread have been stating. They state that a MOU has been agreed upon and is in Gruden's lap. I have not seen where any of them claims that he has signed it. The longer he takes to sign it, the more likely he is to lack interest in my opinion.

LWS is lowering his expectations because of lack of interest from Gruden. Maybe those involved in the negotiations are starting to notice that Gruden's interest is waning and it hasn't filter down through the ranks yet?

This would also square with Gruden's actions over the past several years. He has left at least a few suitors at the altar.

I hope LWS is wrong, but this is disheartening. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Totally agree. That's what makes me wonder how people can be 100% sure that this is a done deal when there are no signatures. I know these insiders hear more than I do but even if I did have inside information, my first question would be "Did they sign?"

In the realm of business, signing on the dotted line is what means something, not handshakes, affirmations, or giving your word. I'm not telling people what they don't already know, this is just common sense.

But until there is someone else up at the podium accepting the coaching position, I will root for the ultimate hire.

Gruden 2012.

Happy gameday Grudenites. Whether its Gruden or someone else great, we deserve better than the amateurish clown at the helm now.

That would be a solid point if all of this was coming just from former players.

So I heard on the sports animal yesterday that if you checked the results of all the polls out there that they all had 3/4 of the people saying give Dooley one more year. That can't be right can it?
