It isn't unusual to see defensive or offensive staffs stick together. VERY unusual to hire 3 coordinators from a coaching tree elsewhere without one of those guys in charge of the hiring.

As is it is a very weak point and a large stretch.

So Gruden has called the hiring shots since last year?

How does hiring a bunch of coaches give you the idea that Gruden is coming in? Wouldn't he gut the coaching staff and fill it with his own guys?

Bill Walsh couldn't make salad out of that chicken****.

However, they did rank 1st every year in the all important "Coaching Growls and Glares Towards the TV Cameras".

Well at least our guy has the "Icing His Own Kicker" ranking all sewed up.
