The CheckerBoard

Surprises me too. Who's next?

EDIT: nm, got the link. He's got a pretty commanding lead, though...

We are far better informed than most of the fanbase. 247 is killing the mainstream media on the search.

I think the other category is that group that has no preference listed. In a poll like this you have to look at the dynamics of those polled. The fact that Gruden has almost 5 times the votes of the closest named coach is really significant. JPSke has already hit on one dynamic and that is the fan/voter who thinks we have no chance for Gruden and therefore chooses someone else to vote for. I would say that a significant number of those who voted other would fall into this category. Throw in the fact that you have a very very large sampling which indicates a high level of interest, awareness and accuracy and Gruden is even more significantly ahead. He would without doubt unite the fan base more quickly and more meaningfully than any other candidate. The bottom line is his real numbers are probably closer to 80-85%.
