He did say in an interview earlier that he did intend to interview a coordinator or two from the Super Bowl teams.

Im a little wary of Spagnuolo because he has only been a DC for 1 season (granted it is a Super Bowl season), and that is simply too short a time to be certain that he is worthy of HC job. I will say, however, with his youth and his success this season he is certainly an intriguing prospect. I think I could get behind that hire, as an obvious attempt to take a step towards the future. I mean hey, if they win tonight his defense will have shut don seemingly the best offense in the NFL. One that has been dominant not only all season, but over the past 7 years as well. If he can do that then perhaps he will be the beginning to a new type of dominant team in the NFL. One that can shut down the potent elite-qb led Offense. That is very tempting, and I would be willing to give it a shot, bc IMO it is more appealing then the alternative. . .

Two aging retread coaches, whose last coaching stints were complete failures. Im not saying I wouldn't be excited to see what Mariucci or Fassel would do for this team, but you gotta wonder how long either will stay here. Neither are so old that they couldn't coach for 5-10 years, but I doubt if either would. So it would be interesting to see some young blood at the helm, and then the hand picked coaching staff would help the young coach to transition into his new position. Anyways I doubt it ill happen.
