Why did Ray Graves hire Doug Dickey in 1970?

I know I know a blast from the past but why did Ray Graves who ran a pass-oriented offense hire Doug Dickey who ran the wishbone offense? Why didn't he promote someone like a Fred Pancoast who had head coaching experience prior to being the OC or Gene Ellenson that would run his system?

I like where I suspect you're going here, LF...
I suggest YOU give a shot at answering your own question--and THEN apply that answer to the current situation in an effort at understanding how it helps highlight our own current plight.
As a matter of fact, have you seen the new thread I posted last night post game?
"Bitching, Moaning, Venting--and Questions No One Is Asking" seems just the place for your query. Just a thought.
