It appears that our consensus coach is the following:
an X's and O's guy as opposed to a player's coach a guy who doesn't want GM duties a guy who was a fringe player himself in the NFL a guy who is not from one of the major coaching dynasties a guy with coordinator experience, but not a former NFL head coach a guy with an offensive background a guy who drafts best player available instead of building around a system a guy who is cool, sophisticated, and cerebral a guy who leans more toward too bold as opposed to too conservative. Okay, so who's out there that fits these criteria?
