The next head coach is inheriting a mess

These types of answers suggests an inability to differentiate between good and bad. The first question is relative because all coaches are paid in the millions. Payton and Harborhaur are on higher pay scale than a first time coach.
2 the staff question is tricky because some owners will pay for an all star staff with different type run and pass game advisors. The rams and commanders have these types of staff. We are not that type of franchise. 3 some owners are more hands on than others, with guys like Jerry being on the extreme end. However, you do want the owner to hold you accountable like Gayle just did.
Ultimately, it comes down to how bad the guy wants the job and does he have other options. As we all know, we were Sean's second choice.

Two teams bidding and competing for the same coach is usually pretty rare unless it’s an alpha star HC with head coaching skins on the wall and are still at the top of their game, like a Sean Payton or Jim Harbaugh, the types that rarely come available.

A lot of this is like a speed dating session and most of the matchmaking ends up being each team and coach zeroing in on each other with limited competition once the team makes the ask.

What I am trying to say is, once we identify “our guy,” it’s very unlikely odds-wise that another team has identified that same person as “their guy.”

It may happen every once in awhile, but the slots usually fill-in cleanly, with each coach ending up at the one place that made a true, firm offer, and most of the guys on the interviewing circuit up left with no HC offer at all.
