It was (probably) Gruden's hire with veto authority by BA. Who knows, maybe this is a "I've had my eye on him for a while now" type hire by Gruden.

It certainly smells funny to me b/c of all the Tampa connections, but who knows. No choice but to see. I have been firmly in Gruden's corner. Hopefully, this is his hire. If Barry pans out and we see some baseline improvement, then I am okay with that (Just by the eyeball test, I think the talent here is better than the talent he had in Detroit. Not by much, but still better).

On the other hand, if the D doesn't show some improvement, then sweep clean in 2016 and turn the keys of the franchise over to Scot McC.

Remember, in SF, McC was hired by Mike Nolan but then McC won the power struggle and fired Nolan the next year. If history has to repeat itself to get a winner around here, so be it.
