Excellent synopsis and I can see it all playing out. The RR deal is what had me scratching my head, but it makes sense if you throw the "rats" in there making waves. I think and thought the entire time that RR was not the right man for BAMA. I never gave much weight to the Spurrier rumors and really don't care for him much... although he'd probably be an okay coach.

I heard that Shula had actually agreed to allow Raider to call the plays, but would not make any coaching changes... was given a few chances and refused, therefore he was fired. I don't think he expected it. But that was through the grapevine that was miles long and I couldn't count on it... you know how that is.

Thanks for the synopsis though... very interesting.
