Dude is very well connected, has been for a long time.
1st chew: RJ Gold plug at 8 years old in the 'baccer patch. Had to keep up with the high school help. 32+ years later, still spittin.
On LWS...I've kept up with his posts here and on TOS. I have a lot of respect for what he posts. On TOS, when talking about Hart, he uses terms like "ego", that Hart won't be pushed around and if somebody pushes him he'd walk...which sounds exactly like, almost word for word what Basilio said and blogged about.
LWS is a respected poster here. In this case, there seems to be more than one source, obviously. He's never said Gruden would not happen, he's just not very convinced based on what he's hearing.
It's not about being right or wrong, whether I agree or disagree. He's providing info as he's done many times before and I have much respect for that, especially this time.
Mark Davis is not happy with his present coaches. Gruden is as revered in Oakland, perhaps as much as he is in this thread. He cut out a lot of nonsense when he came to Oakland. Once upon a time, a KR fumbled the kickoff and BAM, he was gone the next day. He got rid of Big Al's man, Jeff George and replaced him with relatively unknown Rich Gannon and the rest is history.
But does Gruden want to go back to Oakland? I don't think so and I have my reasons.
