Contrast this search with our last search, where we really interviewed just one guy and the rest was fluff.

Good points all around. It's a professional FO today, and a zorn type hire is very unlikely. That said I feel like we're gonna end up with an HC that's still a big gamble to succeed. Lovie was the only proven HC but he was probably headed to Tampa no matter what. We won't find anyone who's accomplished what he has, and the next most accomplished candidate, G Williams, isn't on our list either.
So it'll be a coordinator who's never coached a SB winning group, a college prospect who's getting there feet wet in the nfl, or an HC retread like Whisenhunt. But at this point I don't really think the HC is as critical as putting a solid staff together. We need a really talented DC to get our defense playing with pride. We need an OC who can build an awesome rapport with RG. And an HC who can lead and make the most of the roster.
