“So, Urban, if I were to hire a GM to work alongside you, who would you like that to be?”

I want the best man for the job. If you get the right head coach and hit the right assistants, who cares what side of the ball he comes from?

I think it’s a different scenario. Bradley rose to prominence under defensive coaches. Saleh is having success under an offensive head coach. Plus, his defense is just better than Bradley’s.

I’m still hesitant to pick up Sean McVay types. McVay himself has stood up to the pressure, but the jury’s out on Kingsbury and Zac Taylor is in hopelessly over his head. It’s far from a hard no, especially with a very young team, but I’d still be kind of jittery about it.

I also saw a separate article saying that we've requested an interview with Falcons interim head coach, Raheem Morris.

I don’t think the Falcons are going to let Morris go. He did some great work after taking over for Quinn and is thought very highly of by ownership here.

I still want Anthony Lynn. The Chargers organization gave up on him, but his players never quit. Four straight wins at the end of the year, and the work he did with Justin Herbert was outstanding. That’s the type of HC you give a second chance to, not a guy like Gase or Garrett.

Anthony Lynn made a lot of really dumb clock management mistakes in games I saw.  Maybe he's learned, though.

Your logic is understandable. However, I find the comparison between a coach who has spent decades of his adulthood building a career and very young adult who is just emerging and is being compensated with a free ride scholarship worth over $100K, not to mention the top-notch athletic development and exposure, to be a little ridiculous. The coach has far more invested in his career than a college football player.

If by saying "The coach has far more invested in his career than a college football player." you mean he has already earned more in his career than that player, that is true.  But the player sometimes has a lot more money in front of him.  And the player is risking an enormous, life-changing amount of money by playing in a meaningless game.

But I wasn't talking so much about money as much as the concept of "loyalty" that people throw around when players opt out.  Coaches don't have any loyalty to the program or the players.  Offer them more money, and they're out the door without so much as a goodbye in many cases.
