Quote:Any real HC candidate shouldn't be worried about, or even thinking about any GM contract. They should only be focused on winning. Plain and simple.

 

A real and confident coach should believe they can turn any team around, at any time, no matter what.

 

If any HC candidate is focusing on the GM being gone in a year because the team is losing. I don't want that candidate anywhere near my team, honestly.

 

It's all about one game at a time right? Isn't that what the great coaches speak? If some coach is worrying about what's going to happen to a GM, a year or two from now. Forget him because that's a clear sign of him thinking about just himself #1.

 

We say that, but realistically? No. Yes, being a HC in the NFL is prestigious. But in most cases, you also get one chance. Hitch your ride on a GM on a one-year leash, fail, and you could be done in the HC talks for awhile. They'd want stability.

 

At least, the good candidates will. Unless they are ones that are so proven, with so much leverage, that they believe that DC getting fired means more power coming their way. There's only a handful of those around
