Quote:Chargers definitely opening too. Definitely dont want to wait things out or make this a drawn out process. Hope we are quick but leave no stone unturned.


Todd Haley, Josh McDaniels, Mike Smith, Tom Coughlin, Anthony Lynn, Kyle Shanahan, Vance Joseph, Terryl Austin, Dave Toub, Jim Bob Cooter. Off the top of my head I really like all these guys.

 

  I totally agree regarding the Chargers HC position opening.  Mike McCoy is in an extremely difficult situation but that's not going to save his job.  Even with the Spanos Family heavily focused on the decision whether to move to Chargers to the Los Angeles area,  it's hard to picture McCoy getting another year.

 

  All of the coaches you mentioned are well worth considering.   Though my gut feeling is the Jaguars would be better off hiring a HC with NFL HC  experience if everything is close to equal,   a case can be made for all of the assistant coaches you mentioned deserving an NFL HC opportunity in 2017.  

 

 Of the two Lions Coordinators,  i think Teryl Austin is more ready to be a HC in 2017 than Jim Bob Cooter.   The age and experience factors are the primary reasons.  Both are highly regarded by the players that they coach.   Cooter is on a path to become an NFL HC but I think he's at least a year away.  As a Defensive Coordinator,  Austin does a good job trying to adjust to the personnel he's coaching,  not forcing players to do things they aren't that well suited to do.
