I'm guessing this hire was based more on the idea that this franchise is run like a Mom and Pop hardware store than them actually reviewing all the potential candidates, and determining that Ken Zampese has the most potential for success.

Passed over for Hue in 2014?  That seems like a no-brainer.

I'm guessing that with all of the struggles as well as a young QB in 2010 that they wanted a guy that had some coaching experience in Gruden.

The mom and pop hardware store is a questionable comment.  It may be mom and pop, but look at the results.  How many teams have made the playoffs 5 straight years?  How many assistants have been promoted to HC in other places?  Seems like the mom and pop store is becoming a model franchise.
