Yep, our only chance to get a quality head coach was to act fast and persistent. The Saints (Mickey) could be in denial, pretending like they have options. Forcing the Bears to make a decision yesterday, for Mike, or the Jets for Glenn, could’ve given us an advantage. We do not need to have face to face meetings with either of those guys because they both worked here.
We should have already completed our candidate evaluations since we fired our coach mid-season. McCarty is the only guy we may not have a complete dossier on, but considering he was our OC in the early 2000s, it should not be difficult to update.
