With the departure of Morris & Hazlett, and the addition of McCloughan, it just seems to me that BA's Tampa Mafia is being disassembled. It seems that the coaching staff and personnel units are getting a makeover.

If Gruden felt more comfortable with Barry b/c he knew him and felt he was a grinder. Okay, not holding the TBay connection against him. It appears that Gruden did his due diligence in looking into Fangio and other established DC's.

Obviously, still not thinking we are doing any massive turnaround in one year (or even two), but encouraged that they seem to be broadening their horizons.


Really, McCloughan and Callahan are two major positives ... if they add A. Highsmith after the draft to replace Scott Campbell, well, that's some serious offseason winning.

Check back in five years, however, to see if DS stays committed to the slow build.
