I’ll add one more….All the swirling speculation about who our next head coach will be probably boils down to who will agree to surrender their coaching and personal dignity, and agree to all of the below terms:
Whoever best fits this description will be hired. In fact, to put it even more succinctly, the two most important qualities JJ and SJ are looking for in the next HC come down to this:
- Must be willing to work well below market value for NFL head coach salaries today and willing to work on incentive laden contract.
- Must allow owner/GM/GM’s children to select assistant coaches and staff members for the HC with or without consent.
- Must be willing to allow owner/GM to be “face of the franchise” and dominate all media communication regarding players, games, etc.
- Must be agreeable to owner/GM naming the “head coach in waiting” and have that guy on his staff.
- Must be agreeable to owner/GM to interrupt practices at any time with helicopter landings, fan tours, celebrity tours, etc.
- Must be agreeable to be publicly humiliated by owner/GM at any time.
- Must agree to be held accountable for the GM and son’s most egregious mistakes.
- Head coaching experience not as important as being cheap and compliant.
- Being cheap
- Being compliant
Must be able to fake it and accept anything because you are currently out of work and Jerry is likely to hire when just about every other position is taken, so fake it to get your foot in the door.
Not unlike Mike admitting he lied about how much Dallas film he watched to get the job.
