Quote:I would think that at least some of the people calling him about the opening are former head coaches who are looking for a place to land for a year assuming they don't get tapped to fill one of the vacancies.  Kind of like Marrone did last year.  Worst case scenario, they are here for a year collecting a check and they're queued up for the carousel next year.  Best case from their perspective, Gus gets fired and they step into that head coach role.

 

I think most guys on the rise will be reluctant to come here because it's a lame duck staff in a prove it year.  That would damage their opportunities far more than it would for a seasoned coach looking for a landing spot.
