i say manning and the haslams are the driving force behind this gruden deal. seems to me like manning would be persistant in pursuing him. from what i hear they are friends. as someone pointed ouit , just saw gruden on mnf promo, he looked literally like hell. if it is true about his wife coming here, either he is torn between the two and is not getting what he is asking for, or already been hired and is stressed something is going leak before his deadline and he will be screwed out of a large portion of money. if that is the case, i think hart should be fired. it is his responsibilty to fire the previous coach and give the new coach the best opportunity to come in without causing a stir. the way this was handled is not worthy of what hart is being paid. actually it is a royal screw up. they could avoided all these problems by firing dooley two weeks later then they did. but then again maybe dooley found out he was canned and did not want to attend last game as reported and hart was forced into firing him. (who knows).
