that's cool man. Again, I don't have any insider info. I'm just wondering why it's a dead issue when his son is playing at The Dude. I realize it's a stretch but maybe it's a topic worthy of discussion? Does Homedawg talk to Grantham's agent?Quote:

5 - see number 1 and 2
6 I'd add more but you people wouldn't believe it anyway. He's not coming back as a DC.
7 I know him.
No one should have a problem with retaining Shoop. I'd be all for it but it seems he's not on "the list" of those being retained?Quote:

And how does him coaching football in Florida keep him from watching his son possibly play for us in baseball? He can fly up anytime he has a break and has the means to do so as much as he wants.Quote:

The right thing to do is tell the coaches on staff that they do not have a job as of now. I suspect we might bring back TBuck and Tony. Most of Leach’s offensive staff will come with him.
Good post.Quote:

Strong would be huge for recruiting purposesQuote:

$1.5-1.75 would be my ceiling.Quote:
