It is interesting that there was a lack of interest in Byron Leftwich as a head coach.  There were 8 openings outside of Jacksonville.  The Bears were the only team to actually interview him with the Saints asking permission but have yet to schedule an interview.  Even if he interviews with the Saints, that's still 6 out of 8 teams that didn't even think he was worth a first interview.

Byron was hired by Ariens as a QB coach when he was in Arizona. He did that for 2 years and was let go shortly after Ariens was. He was again hired by Ariens in Tampa as OC and has done that the last 3 years. The only real success has been the last 2 years when Brady came to Tampa. I am sure he is hard working and an up and coming coach, but it remains the only person that has hired him is Ariens. He only has 5 years coaching experience. If I were an owner thinking about him I would like to see what he does now in Tampa just to see if it was Brady or him before turning the reigns of my team over to him.
