Honestly, there's really no one that excites me. If going the coordinator route, I'd probably go Gus Bradley.
But that's not happening.
Clark needs a 3-run HR-type hire or Arrowhead will be empty for years to come - and he knows it.
He can't hire a Dirk Koetter, Ray Horton or Gus Bradley and expect the fanbase to get behind him. Plus, going the HC first route, even if he were to hire one of those guys, who is going to come here to GM for a 1st year HC they didn't choose, who reports directly to the owner?
Clark has pretty much painted himself into the corner of a high-profile guy that wants total control, or has an existing relationship with a solid personnel guy - Reid/Heckert, as an example.
I believe that Clark threw the kitchen sink at Bill Cowher, and the job is his if he wants it. Reports today say he has no interest in coaching - coincidentally, Clark proactively flew to Philly today to beat Arizona to Andy Reid.
So all that to say no one gets me excited - but I think that Andy Reid is probably the best remaining choice.
He'll fill the stadium, and give the organization some much needed credibility.
His personnel choices worry me though, as does his gameday decision making - plus the fact that his personal life is a goddamn trainwreck.
If Reid goes to Arizona though, I'll be extremely concerned. Not much to pick from that meets Clark's criteria.
