Jesse Holley and company just looked at possible candidates to be the HC or OC/DC.

He first said that Jim Haurbagh is not coming here as he makes 9 million per year and is home.

He also said why would Jon Gruden leave the booth when he's making that much money etc. I don't think he would because he would have to face his brother twice per year.

The candidates.

Art Briles- Cavanaugh said we would take a PR hit, but no doubt the guy can coach. Said when he visited TC he helped install some of the RPO's with Dak (thought that was interesting).

James Franklin- They all 3 agreed this would be an excellent hire, Young and gifted.

Jimbo Fisher- they were all kind of meh on this candidate.

I think I could actually be excited about Briles and Franklin actually. Briles intrigues me.

He then added hot up and coming Coordinators.

Jim Bob Cooter- OC Detroit
Terrel Austin- DC Detroit
Mike Patricia- DC NE, (Cavanaugh things he is going to be really good because he has coached everything from Oline to Safety. Plus he has a super high IQ).

Anyway just thought I would share. I really like the idea of Briles and Franklin actually. Briles is a winner no matter where he's been. Franklin is young and exciting.

The final candidate....they were all for him. Said he wants out of Zona, Bruce Arians. Would take it tomorrow!

Bruce Arians would be a pipe dream... I know he is not going to be popular, but I think Josh McDaniels would be a guy to consider. I think he would be better as a second time HC. I would stay away from the college coaches.

They mentioned him as well, but then said he picked Tim Tebow! Lol

Art Briles would be a classic Jerry Move™. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

At least he can coach. Not sure if his system would work in the NFL, but it would be fun to find out. Guy has won on every level so far.

Patricia is going to need to clean himself up if he wants a job. He's stubborn like Ron Ryan was

Hmmm..I'm not sure Patricias experience:

College coaching career
Patricia remained at RPI to begin his coaching career as a graduate assistant in 1996.[1] He spent the next two years as an application engineer with Hoffman Air & Filtration Systems in East Syracuse, New York.[2] Much sought-after in engineering circles, he received a $100,000-a-year offer to maintain nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers with the Westinghouse Electric Company,[3] but decided to return to football as the defensive line coach for Amherst College from 1999 to 2000. In 2001, he moved to Syracuse University as an offensive graduate assistant for the team, a position he held for three seasons.[4]

Professional coaching career[edit]
Patricia joined the Patriots under head coach Bill Belichick as an offensive coaching assistant in 2004. In 2005, upon the departure of assistant offensive line/tight ends coach Jeff Davidson, Patricia was reassigned as the Patriots' assistant offensive line coach. Then-linebackers coach Dean Pees was promoted to defensive coordinator after the season, prompting another reassignment for Patricia, this time to linebackers coach for the 2006 season. Patricia was named the team's safeties coach in 2011. In 2012, he was promoted to the title of defensive coordinator, despite having called plays on defense since the departure of Pees following the 2009season. He won Super Bowl XXXIX at the end of the 2004 season, Super Bowl XLIX with the Patriots at the end of the 2014 season, as well as Super Bowl LI at the end of the 2016 season. In January 2016, the Patriots gave permission for Patricia to interview for the head-coaching position of the Cleveland Browns. Patricia would remain with the Patriots as defensive coordinator going into the 2016 season. On February 5, 2017, Patricia won his third Super Bowl championship in Super Bowl LI. In the game, the Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 34–28 in overtime.[5]

can stack up with Garretts:

2005-06: Quarterback coach for Miami Dolphins
2007-2010: OC for the Dallas Cowboys
2011 to present: Head coach of the Dallas Cowboys

0 chance, but if I were ever gonna make a former cowboy qb head coach again, it would be Troy. He is all bidness.

The DC from NE would be a good hire. He has studied under one of, if not the, best coaches in NFL history. But I don't think, nor do I want, Garrett to go anywhere.

You know...I think Garrett is worse than Jerry.

Jerry has obviously taken a step back. I think the team ‘s acquisition philosophy has a lot to do with Garrett(we used to draft defense early and often prior to Jason) but I think the actual picking of the players has more to do with McClay than Jerry.

I think this is a talented football team that is poorly coached.
