Quote:True...but you see HCs get more than one chance (Coughlin, Belichek, Parcells, Reid, etc) more often than you see GMs get a 2nd chance.

 

 

TC, Bill, Reid were wildly successful in their first stint. Not saying it doesn't happen, even Mularkey is on his third gig. But unless you're really well respected, losing that first job (and really if Dave is fired next season, we can only assume that the HC/team failed to meet expectations miserably as well) is hard to overcome. Or you wait a long time before you get another chance.

 

You'll either get first timers eager to get their shot, or well established ones who have so much clout they think losing their GM is actually a positive for them. Even the first timers will be somewhat limited also. McDaniels, who is on a great situation in NE, IMO, would not be one to jump if he feels DC doesn't have stability here. Because why jump because he knows he'll get a HC gig at some point, if not this off-season but the next or the year after?
