I will say this - no part of me doubts that people close to the real coaching situation know about these forums. I'm not saying they actively contribute or give two ultimate damns about what we propose on here - that's the nature of the beast in sports, but they're not oblivious we exist.
I contribute to a Titans site where numerous players and high-profile analysts have admitted to viewing on a somewhat regular basis. The same can only be assumed here.
From a business perspective, purely money-driven, how do you NOT pull the trigger on going after Gruden, at pretty much any cost if he really does entertain coming? Merchandise sales would skyrocket, as would season tickets, as would advertisements through the major networks. Surely, in the chance that this doesn't go down, multiple people with high involvement will look back on this as not only a blown-venture in regards to hiring someone to bring relevance back to our program, but also a missed business opportunity that would've been one of the safest investments since buying into Apple in the late 90's.
