Now that Belichick is unemployed it's not tampering. I would love it if he gave a call to Cousins, and brings a vet QB with him somewhere like Atlanta with all the pieces on offense if they add Cousins and let BB work his magic on the defense. In that division that team could easily be the favorite for a home playoff game.

That's a good starting point for a championship run. Brady's legacy was already established but cemented himself as GOAT with a SB win without Belichick. BB turning around and doing the same would be huge for him.

Not sure there's a better spot on paper. Provided he could convince a QB to come play for him. I think Cousins is at the point in his career where he would seriously consider that too. Unless he can get obscene money like the Viking franchising his already large salary or somebody else overpaying for a title run.
How many wins does he need to pass Shula for all time leader?

Man those black people, always getting the breaks
I didnt make the rule.
but it has to happen before a team can go after whomever they want.

Either
A. they are appeasing the rooney rule. (I didnt know if he was a minority)
B. they are covering their bases if Harbaugh decides to go elsewhere.
C. Someone knows something about Harbaugh indeed was going elsewhere.

Only way to know is to ask & find out.
If you need to be touchy about that. So be it.

Wilks may get some Rooney Rule interviews but he is clearly a qualified HC candidate with a good resume. Now, Brian Johnson of the Eagles....that's just blatant token interviewing by some teams.

Not necessarily. He is still living off of Hurts rise while he was QB coach. Both Titans and Panthers are who he is linked to. I would imagine a team with young QBs would at least bring him in for an interview.

I think Brian Johnson was a pretty good QB coach who was promoted too fast, by a head coach who was quite young and inexperienced himself and whose ability I increasingly question.

Honestly, based on my real-world experiences, this happens a lot with talented Black people, because institutions are so eager to make up for the mistakes of the past that they take shortcuts with promoting these candidates of color and wind up doing them no favors.

In an ideal world, he would go back to being a QB coach, this time for an older and more experienced head coach, before eventually being promoted back to offensive coordinator. I don't think he's a hack, I think it was just a case of too much too soon for Brian Johnson, and expectations on a stacked team perhaps being more than he could handle.

Sounds like Desai as well. I think the Eagles were impacted by seeing the Niners get two diversity initiative 3rd round picks awarded to them last year and decided to follow suit.

I think Lurie has good intentions, and saw a trend around the league of younger coaches like McVay and Staley getting jobs and seemingly doing well, and wanted to do the same but with a diverse staff, to try to get a stable of young, talented coordinators the Eagles could have for years to come.

After hiring Sirianni, and a set of white coordinators to go along with him last year, I think Lurie made a concerted effort to try to do the same thing but with more diverse coaches next time, and he did, but with less success.

I actually think Desai might have been good, in the ball had bounced a little differently and Howie had given the guy a few more good linebackers. We'll never know. The players seemed to like him, and some even said they failed him by struggling so much he got replaced. I would not be surprised to see him come back in a few years after rehabilitating himself elsewhere.

Johnson may also be better than we've seen. It's unclear to me how much of the offense's struggles are him versus Sirianni, who comes from the offensive side and is reportedly more involved there. Whatever it is, the offense did not evolve from last year and actually regressed and became much more predictable.
