This I know for sure..

1. DD is will either be fired or resigns. Depends on how he wants to handle it.

2. Gruden has been contacted and offered a lot of money. The job is his to accept or decline. Bet on that......

3. Mullen, Strong and Franklin will be contacted if Gruden deal falls thru. I have not heard Gruden was a done deal but I have heard the wheels are rolling and we.got his attention.

There's NO WAY James Franklin would be considered for the UT job. That guy is nothing but Kiffin 2.0 and there's NO WAY he would bring the fan base together.

Under Gruden, the Raiders posted consecutive 8–8 seasons in 1998 and 1999, and leapt out of last place in the AFC West. After uniting with journeyman quarterback Rich Gannon, Gruden led the Raiders to the top of the AFC West and made the playoffs three straight seasons (the third time under Head Coach Bill Callahan). Oakland finished 12–4 in the 2000 season, the team's most successful in a decade, and its first division title since 1990, ultimately reaching the AFC Championship, where they lost 16–3 to the eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. Gannon was hurt early in the game on an ill-timed snap, and Ravens tackle Tony Siragusa was later fined $10,000 for a late hit on the play that caused the shoulder injury that knocked Gannon out of the game.

The Raiders acquired all-time leading receiver Jerry Rice prior to the 2001 season. They finished 10–6 and won a second straight AFC West title but lost their divisional-round playoff game to the eventual Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, in a controversial game that became known as the "Tuck Rule Game." The game went into overtime and the Patriots won, 16–13.

Look he went to Oakland and rebuilt the Raiders into a contender....the Raiders. That is all I can say. If Al Davis could speak from the grave (and set aside his ego and pride) he would say I should have paid Gruden more when his contract was up and I would have had one more Super Bowl title to my collection before I died.

What happend in Tampa Bay to him is like a college coach being under NCAA sancations with 25 scholarships pulled for 4 years.

It should be a WWE style presser - Dave Hart's music is played, he struts to the podium a la Vince McMahon. After announcing that he needs to have a word with Coach Dooley, CDD's music hits and he crutches his way to a second podium.

CDD - Mr. Hart, can't you see I'm a little busy for a presser?
Hart - Busy? Doing what?
CDD - Watering the bamboo, of course.
Hart - Oh, that.... At least you didn't lie and say you were busy leading the football team to victory.
CDD - Very funn-[cut off]
***Music hits***Lights dim***
Hart - What the...what is going on?!?
---while everyone is looking at the entrance, a masked man (wearing a Gruden mask) sneaks onto the stage and is holding a folding chair---

***BAM***folding chair to CDD's back

Hart - Oh yeah, that's right. YOOOUUUUUU'RRRRREEE FIIIIIRRRRRREEEEEEEDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!
CDD - Barbara!!!
Hart - [pointing at masked man] Take off that mask to reveal yourself.
---masked man removes Gruden mask to reveal himself as.......we cut to commercial........and we're back.......Jon Gruden!
Hart - YOOOUUUUUU'RRRRREEE HIIIIIRRRRRREEEEEEEDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!

Of Franklin, Mullen, and Strong, Mullen is the only one I think has shown enough as a head coach to even consider. Strong might turn out well. Franklin just...yuck.

I just heard from someone close to decision makers, a VP at UT ... the Gruden speculation may indeed be promising...aparently talks are already underway. This news certainally lightens the mood. If announced in a timely manner this news can really help in recruiting.
Hey Let's get it done already!
