I voted no...but not at this time.

The new HC is inheriting the worst ranked defense and the #23 ranked offense.

The team is clearly in rebuilding mode and to some, that is a turn off.

In 2 or 3 years, yes, I think it will be much more desirable given the infusion of talent and stability in ownership and the front office.

Perhaps it's me but if memory serves me well, only a week or two has passed since there was a lot of rejoicing because it seemed as if so many thought that it was T.H.E. most desirable coaching destination!

too soon to tell. But I believe it is more desirable than it has been in the last 20 years.

I voted yes b/c of the #2 pick and the cap room. Yes, it's a rebuild and it comes with all those headaches, and it has a first time GM. but this job was supposedly #2 on the list behind the Chargers for HC jobs.

It is the most attractive location from a football standpoint, if you want to build something that is yours. We have the number two pick, an extra second and third, and the most available cap space.

If you go beyond football, you have to work for Peters and Harris. I don’t know what it is like to work for either of them.

It would not be the first time he fell for something like this.

We could be 0-17 and he would claim we were a good team.

Gomer Pyle could be our coach and he would believe he is a 'good" coach.

We are used to it by now. I have argued with him for years about truth but, he believes in fantasy.

Misguided and confused, but we like him still!

According to whom Dean? You need to understand the difference between fact and opinion. Were all candidates given a ranking sheet and they all scored WSH as 2nd? It's a ranking that is not valid. People like you fall for it.

You are not interested in the truth so you answered in your typical fashion.

Johnson turned us down
Slowik withdrew

And you believe we are a desirable location for HC candidates?

Really!
Then why aren't candidates banging down the door to come here instead of returning to their team?

We aren't there yet. Soon...hopefully

Johnson also withdrew like Slowik. He wanted to remain with the Lions instead of tackling a rebuild. Its obvious Johnson was the first choice like i said. I agree with you that if Quinn was the 2nd choice, he should be the HC right now. I don't understand the wait. It was a widely spread opinion that we were the 2nd best job out their b/c of the draft picks and cap room. It wasn't just the PR office like eaglesnut said. IMO other than JH and MAc, not really impressed with the other new HC's.

I just read the BB does not want full control. Is this true?

Johnson did not turn us down, he turned everyone down. For the second year in a row. He has no interest, at this time, in being a head coach. Lets at least speculate based on facts.

The question was if we were a desirable location for head coaching candidates.

The answer at this point is no.

Our good friend Dean believes we are because of an alleged ranking of HC locations.

No clue where this ranking came from and he won't say.

Really, enlighten us.

Again, common sense says the game plan wasn't to interview foe 3 weeks, be the last opening, and then regroup.

If it was the plan...heaven help us.
