Sports betting site OffshoreInsiders.com apparently scooped the media by several hours on the firing of head coach Wade Phillips. Now several sources are confirming that the sports betting site is right, the joke about preferring to work with Al Michaels (who is in fact with NBC Sports) notwithstanding.

The site stands by the equally accurate report that the Cam Newton evidence is piling up. However, Duffy did want to clarify his misunderstood statement, “From everything I’ve been told, I doubt of Newton makes it to the Iron Bowl.”

Duffy said that he means what he says, “It’s my prediction something will happen sooner rather than later. Nowhere did I say my sources assured me this would happen before the Iron Bowl.”

However, this does not mean any backtracking on the main scoop. Newton will eventually be declared ineligible. It may, ala Reggie Bush, happen retroactively. There is a strong opinion inside Auburn athletics to go out, win the National Championship, and put the onus on the NCAA to strip them.

But OffshoreInsiders.com absolutely trusts sources that Newton will not be cleared.

Further developments on the Phillips firing:

• While Jon Gruden is Jerry Jones top choice, he cannot be hired now because of the Rooney Rule.
• Gruden must get power over personnel moves or will not take the job. It’s unlikely Jerry Jones will fire himself as GM.
