I'm not sure what's more embarrassing. The fact that we're trying to interview a mid-major college coach who went 3-9 this season or the fact that 3-9 mid-major college coach said thanks but no thanks.

Yeah, that kinda hurts.

Just please don't tell me Lane Kiffin turned us down.

Ouch.

I don't know about the shortlist right now. 

Stefanski has certain inner circles buzzing about him being a future HC so I trust he must have the juju for a top spot.  Otherwise, no to McD, this guy, McCarthy, and Roman.  

Daboll is interesting but the Bills didn't start clicking until he left the field for the booth.  He's excelled as a booth-based signal caller and not a sideline guy. 

I really want this guy:

The only guys I've seen anything more than just straight speculation on so far are McCarthy (interviewed) McDaniels (reached out to him last year and believed by many to be a leading candidate this year) Shaw (confirmed to be a guy we're "doing homework" on) and now Fitzgerald (turned us down).

I'm sure there's more to come, but those are all we know for now.

we could have interviewed any of those top college guys and no one would ever know. typically those conversations are very hush hush unless someone leaks it. college coaches won't want the guys paying them top dollar to know that they are looking somewhere else.

Yep.

Remember when we supposedly didn't know anything about Jim Harbaugh?

If the rumor is true we want a coach to take on some GM roles, a David Shaw, Lincoln Riley, Matt Rhule, PJ Fleck, Matt Campbell, all look appealing.   James Franklin is also super under the radar IMO, he's an awesome guy; met him a few times back in his Vandy days.

I remember one source saying that Matt Rhule wants total control.

No way in hell I'd give that to a college coach.

 

Yeah, I understand why a college coach would want that. It's what they already have at the college level. But, college coaches being handed the full reins don't have great NFL track records. Chip Kelly the coach may have worked out in the NFL, but Chip Kelly the GM was a train wreck.

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
