Gruden and Kirk should have been extended for continuity's sake. I think Snyder just trapped the franchise into hiring second hand coaches. Once Gruden is gone it is back to square one. Nobody wants to work here. What we did to Shanny was terrible in hindsight.

Nah, I think Bradley was the top target with Manusky being the fallback option all along. I honestly don't think it's about it not being a desirable job. Outside of a few teams in the league there's no such thing as job security beyond 2-3 years.

I can go for that, but still you had Pettine and co on the table. Manusky was in similar situations with not a whole lot of talent at his previous DC gigs, but damn, get a stud if you can get one. There is no cap for coaches. I am glad the players like him and I hope he is more aggressive. I am not in this is terrible camp, just is unsettling that this might mean nobody of higher quality wants to work for us
