Front Office/HC/OC/DC who do you want?

I always figured that the big name guys would be interested in this job and the Cowher article confirms it.

Think about it. Lots of reasons why a coach would be interested.

1. As a head coach what better situation to come into then a very talented team that has underachieved. You don't have to work a miracle to go 10-6 or 11-5 with this bunch next year (they wouldn't have needed one this year, just a kicker and the ability to score on 1st and 1 and we are sitting at 9-1). So you are likely to come out looking good when the team sees the inevitable bump in win total.

2. For a defensive coach especially it is appealing because if you can get a little defensive improvement (which every Defensive coach thinks they can), the offense is already largely in place.

3. You are working for an owner who has been EXTREMELY patient with his first two coaches. You don't have to fear the quick hook. He is also the opposite of meddlesome like you'd have to deal with in Dallas.

4. You are in a manageable cap situation with no missing draft picks in the future.

5. The owner will spend to the max.

6. You get great fan support with a gauranteed sellout every week, but without the negativity and willingness to turn on you that you find in most football towns.

7. Softball local media that will never go after you as long as you give them there "insider" morsels.

Honestly, I don't know of a job that will be open that would be easier to succeed in then this one. If McNair will pony up, we should have our pick of coaches.
