I almost hate that he is available. I was on board with the idea of Vrabel, but not to the point of getting upset if we missed out. I think it will burn if McCarthy signs with another team, it will seem like we are settling for what we can get instead of getting the best guy for the job.

I hear you. I think McCarthy is the right pick for where this team is and anyone else is going to be a big risk with the potential for spectacular failure.

That being said, I really like Aaron Glenn as a former good player and culture setter. And I might pick him over McCarthy if he was an offensive coordinator instead of a defensive coordinator, but he isn't. And, there is still a part of me that wants to go YOLO and see what Brady might be able to do.

But, the by far safest pick with the highest floor, and still a high ceiling, is McCarthy.
