I'm not sure what's more embarrassing. The fact that we're trying to interview a mid-major college coach who went 3-9 this season or the fact that 3-9 mid-major college coach said thanks but no thanks.

Yeah, that kinda hurts.

Just please don't tell me Lane Kiffin turned us down.

Ouch.

I don't know about the shortlist right now. 

Stefanski has certain inner circles buzzing about him being a future HC so I trust he must have the juju for a top spot.  Otherwise, no to McD, this guy, McCarthy, and Roman.  

Daboll is interesting but the Bills didn't start clicking until he left the field for the booth.  He's excelled as a booth-based signal caller and not a sideline guy. 

I really want this guy:

The only guys I've seen anything more than just straight speculation on so far are McCarthy (interviewed) McDaniels (reached out to him last year and believed by many to be a leading candidate this year) Shaw (confirmed to be a guy we're "doing homework" on) and now Fitzgerald (turned us down).

I'm sure there's more to come, but those are all we know for now.

we could have interviewed any of those top college guys and no one would ever know. typically those conversations are very hush hush unless someone leaks it. college coaches won't want the guys paying them top dollar to know that they are looking somewhere else.

Yep.

Remember when we supposedly didn't know anything about Jim Harbaugh?

If the rumor is true we want a coach to take on some GM roles, a David Shaw, Lincoln Riley, Matt Rhule, PJ Fleck, Matt Campbell, all look appealing.   James Franklin is also super under the radar IMO, he's an awesome guy; met him a few times back in his Vandy days.

I remember one source saying that Matt Rhule wants total control.

No way in hell I'd give that to a college coach.

 

Yeah, I understand why a college coach would want that. It's what they already have at the college level. But, college coaches being handed the full reins don't have great NFL track records. Chip Kelly the coach may have worked out in the NFL, but Chip Kelly the GM was a train wreck.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
