That's why we lost the super bowl. Gruden was "playing" Gannon in practice before the SB, saying "Gannon is going to do this, and then that, and then after that, he's going to do this."
You beat me Chris, I was going to make that exact point. That first season with Cally, we were runnng on Grudens fumes. Callahan just happened to be in the drivers seat.
