Jerry is not trying to not steal anybody's thunder. It is just the opposite and I am surprised most here have missed it. This is a business and Jerry became a billionaire becuase he knows a thing or two about business. I would have been shocked if an HC announcement came before the Super Bowl. Not because I thought he wanted to wait for Rivera or Caldwell or anybody else. Waiting is not a problem. We are the only team in the league without a HC in place, so we are not competing against anybody. Waiting passed the Super Bowl never had any negative consequences. In fact, waiting expands the talent pool so to speak. Anyway, the reason I never expected an announcement before the Super Bowl is because all the NFL talk leading up to the big game revolves around three teams: Chicago, Indy and Dallas. To be just as big a story as the two Super Bowl teams is incredible. Jerry could not buy that kind of publicity. I suspect the Parcells retirement announcement may have been put on hold to give this story legs leading up to and passed the Super Bowl. Go ahead and rip me now.

No ripping from me. You're spot on. The notion that the longer we wait reduces our pool of available candidates is ridiculous. And IMO, the crowd that hated BP before, then hated him more because he "waited too long" or "kept us hangin" is just as ridiculous.

I don't think any of the guys who have been named HCs around the league so far this offseason would have even been candidates here. The only people who I could have seen coming here were LeBeau or Capers, and they stayed with their teams. I just don't see anyone we've "missed the boat" on.

Yeah, seems like Singletary is losing some spark as well. Rivera certainly will trump him.

I would say waiting gives someone like Singletary more of a chance than before...even Mort said that...that he was certainly a finalist

as long as Norv keeps getting pushed back is all that matters

This could be good news for Gary Gibbs fans.

I wouldn't mind any of these combinations.

HC DC OC

Phillips -- Singletary -- Garrett
Rivera -- Singletary -- Garrett
Norv -- Phillips -- Garrett
Cowher -- ?? -- ??

Of course we would have to give up a draft pick to get Cowher and he would have to bring his own crew in.
