Shooting down every candidate as lazy, low ceiling, low ambition, etc. is easy. Naming a guy that is not those things who will be a better HC than McCarthy is not. I personally would like to see Kingsbury or Brady get the job, but I know that both are a much higher risk than McCarty and that both are more likely than not to flame out while McCarty would more likely than not result in a playoff appearance in 2 or 3 years.
Every single coach has negatives but we have to hire one of them.
