Not really. Blank wants a yes man who is willing to kiss Rich McKay's arse. Blank makes his coaches do film study with him every week. No coach with any real options is going to choose to work for that idiot.

The NFL makes it highly undesirable to hire a sitting HC from another team. You'd have to trade for them, which means give the other team good draft picks.

They have created the system they have ... Interview a bunch of OCs/DCs, make sure there are 2 minority candidates in there, then decide if you'll go for the first time HC or the retread HC. Seems like about half the time it's the latter.

The NFL folks I know are convinced that college coaches almost always fail in the NFL. Harbaugh is the exception. I think that thinking leaves off a pool of worthy candidates, but oh well.

Now you're just being ridiculous.

There has never been any evidence of that. Just stop.

That's still a dumb organization chart and it tells me they don't trust Fontenot. A normal org chart has the GM reporting to the owner and the HC reporting to the GM. I guess they won't be reporting to McKay separately this time, at least.

Belichick wasn’t “passed over,” they just didn’t come to terms with him. Hell Belichick turned down Jerry Jones and a much better team, because he knew that bumbling shite bird Jones cannot get out of the way! Passed over? No! Arthur Blank was damn near blowing Belichick to be their next coach??

Blank takes seriously those slogans the NFL paints on the sidelines and in the back of the end zone.
