Someone on twitter posted this list of rules for hiring a head coach and I think they are prescient. I think Doug fails all of them except technically being an "offensive coach".

I don't think you spend on a QB this year. Foles is still under contract, and assuming he recovers and can still play at a high level, we don't need to be expending draft capital chasing a position while neglecting possible greater talents available at a different position (Fournette, anyone?)

I think the Ramsey/Marrone thing will be dealt with before season's end. That's either going to be a trade, or Ramsey is going to be allowed to do his thing. Regardless of whether Ramsey is on the roster at the end of the year or not, I see us moving on from Doug. Something is wrong in that locker room. The RB situation last season was the first we've seen of the crumbling from within, but it cannot be allowed to continue. I don't foresee Caldwell or Coughlin going anywhere.

I'm more concerned about who we get as an HC if Doug is let go. Do they go with another retread, or promote from within (Capers? Flip)? If the locker room is allowed to run the show, do we have enough to attract a first-time coach to take the job?
