From my non-scientific sample of what I read on the internet, Johnson and Glenn seem to be the hot candidates, league-wide.  

But I'm not as against Saleh as some people seem to be.  His record with the Jets was the result of some bad circumstances.  Zach Wilson was the consensus #2 pick at the time, and since he was the #2 overall pick, the Jets felt like they had to start him, and he busted.  [BLEEP] happens.  

Saleh would not be my first choice, though.  But I don't think he'd be bad at all.

Liam Coen is 39 years old and doesn't have a lot of experience.  One year with the Rams, followed by one year with Kentucky, followed by one year with the Bucs.  Hiring someone to be a head coach in the NFL, when he has that little amount of experience, seems like quite a gamble.

From Coen's Wikipedia page:  

"Coen was named the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Kentucky on December 15, 2020.[10] In Coen's unofficial interview with Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops, he presented a detailed plan of schedules and responsibilities as well as a video compilation of 300 offensive plays he thought he could implement from his time with the Rams."

So maybe he interviews well?  

Rams. Then Kentucky. Then Rams again. Then Kentucky again. Then Bucs.

Lots of QBs tend to look good under Coen.

McVay didn't have many things going for him before he was hired by the Rams.

You find the good ones from all over. I don't think there's a right or wrong path here for finding good head coaches. The culture setters like McDermott and Campbell. The smart offensive minds like Reid, McVay, LaFleur or Shannahan. You just need to find the right guy to fit your team. For me, thats Coen, Johnson or Glenn.
