I would definitely put Bienemy's name at the top, with a big, fat, ginormous caveat - choosing him requires PATIENCE. If you bring in a guy to build a quick, fast-paced offense that keeps defenses on their heels, it is going to take some time to undo the roster-building we've already done, no matter how 'built' you consider the current roster to be.

If we go after another guy who is going to build a ball control, slow-paced offense, the leash is a little shorter, and the expectation for success is more immediate. I think or WR corps are well suited to a fast-paced offense, but our line and RB room will need much retooling.

TE is a full build at this point. If Oliver pans out, yay us, but I am not banking the future on him and him alone at this stage.

Today is the first day I've heard Marv Lewis named, and I cringed. He's JDR, he's Doug, someone who is not going to innovate or develop the next big star, someone who is just going to plod through the season in hopes of getting 8-9 wins, squeaking in the playoffs, and heading home shortly thereafter. Hard pass.

I'm not chasing Harbs, either. He's consistent, good enough to get the wins against the team's he's supposed to, but never pulling off the upsets, finding ways to beat the teams that are stronger, faster, or just better coached. I'd be ok pursuing Rivera, he's a great leader and seems to be able to bring in coordinators that help his men succeed. I don't consider McCarthy an option. I think he'll be able to take his pick of the jobs out there, and Carolina is probably going to make a big push to bring him in.
