The panic that has set in over the next HC hire is ridiculous.
Most of the HCs hired in this cycle are either tired retreads (Pete Carroll), Rizzi like "promotions" (Dallas) or coordinators who we have no idea whether they will be good HC material (Chicago). The only one hired in this cycle that would have been a no brainer was Vrabel, and he was never going anywhere besides New England. Johnson from the Lions was the "hot name" on the market this year, but there are rumors about him having a weird personality. Maybe he does great in Chicago (his QB is a weirdo too), but maybe not. There have been many boy wonder OCs hired to become HC that did not pan out (McDaniel for example).
