re: FWIW, Hog fan friends that I know have some connections saying Gruden is in.

if by some freak of good luck and Gruden does sign to coach the Hogs, they will have to put up a bale of grass for Leslie to chew on and put two pairs of depends for Nicky....because during games with the Hogs when Chucky throws 'THE STARE' at Leslie Edwin and even Lord Sith Saban, they will be crapping their pants...not sure on THE DARK LORD, but Leslie Edwin will melt like butter on a Red Stick sidewalk during a hot August afternoon
