Secretly probably the best position available. Franchise QB with weapons around him. Weak division and a low pressure spot. McDermott could help rebuild that defense. Honestly it would be a great situation for him assuming he can find a nice OC.

delete this before McDermott sees it

Per league rules, don't the Bucs have to interview other coaches?

They interviewed Harold Goodwin (who fulfills the Rooney Rule) and McDermott, as noted above. Thus, they are free to hire whomever they want.

Philly hasn't even expressed an interest in interviewing him, which is pretty odd. Also, it's clear that teams are more interested in hiring an offensive mind to be HC:

Giants: OC McAdoo

Browns: OC Jackson

Phins: OC Gase

Bucs: OC Koetter (frontrunner)

49ers: Shanahan, Coughlin, Kelly (all made their way up as offensive gurus)

Eagles: Pederson (KC OC), Shurmer (PHI OC), Coughlin

Titans: Mularkey (frontrunner) who has held various TE, OC, and HC positions

Literally the ONLY defensive candidates to have even gotten interviews this coaching cycle are Teryl Austin, Matt Patricia, and McDermott if I recall correctly. Teams don't want a defensive guy as HC right now.

Thank you.  Was not aware of certain facts concerning Mr. Goodwin.

Interesting -

As the Eagles continue mulling their options at head coach, one name continues to surface to potentially fill the vacancy - Sean McDermott.

Last week, the Panthers defensive coordinator went on 97.5 The Fanatic and hinted that he love to return to Philadelphia to fill the Eagles’ job, but so far the team hasn’t shown enough interest to bring him in for an interview.

On Tuesday, former Eagles defensive star Brian Dawkins, who played for McDermott when he was the team’s defensive backs coach, couldn’t understand why the team wouldn’t be interested in interviewing him.

"I’m a little surprised that they haven’t at least had a conversation with [McDermott] to see what his plans would be going forward

But thus far owner Jeff Lurie and the team haven’t shown much interest in their former employee. NFL Network’s Albert Breer suggested that McDermott needed to mend some fences with the Eagles’ front office before being considered for the head coaching job.

In addition to Coughlin and Pederson, the Eagles have interviewed current offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur and running backs coach Duce Staley, as well as Giants offensive coordinator( Head Coach Now ) Ben McAdoo. They also interviewed Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase, who has since been hired by the Dolphins.

He interviewed with them on Sunday. He can't interview during this week, because...well, you know.

Just reporting what was written. They might have it wrong, but that's what it said.

I agree but the Titans ownership is toxic.

[Bmullis]

So basically our front office and coaching staff is like the island of misfit toys....cast off and unwanted only to make a name for themselves and win numerous Superbowls together... That's how the movie ended right?!

The longlonger our team stays together thethe happier I am.  Let them raidteams. r teams

[Mr. Scot]

I think it might be that people are still a little uncertain of how good these guys really are.

Now, if McDermott and Shula add a Super Bowl win to their resumes this February, teams will start taking them a lot more seriously.
