WOW, Arky must have struck out on every big name guy they were throwing around for the past 7 months.
Gruden
Davis
Gundy
Strong
Miles
etc.............
Al, we made at least an inquiry to Gruden I'm pretty sure.
Gundy was seriously in the mix as a back up to Peterson and Patterson, and it appears, Bielema.
None of the others you listed were seriously considered, I don't believe. Those names were brought up just as message board fodder.
Miles never was a serious option, and you know that.
I figure the order was:
1. Gruden
1a. Petersen
2. Patterson
3. Bielema
4. Gundy
So, I figure we dropped to 4th on our list.
I understand we damn near had Petersen, UofA lawyers were drawing up the papers and Petersen slept on it and decided to stay where his family was comfortable (one report I heard).
