Good points. Plus Holmgren is liked by the NFL FO and used to work on the competition committee. We might actually see some calls in OUR favor during critical moments of games.

The best part about all of this is this is the real question after we hire a coach isn't it? ---- Is Kap a SB winning QB?

I think Austin is an interesting candidate, a darkhorse candidate that wouldn't be the most popular pick, let's face it he'd be one of the least popular picks but he has a nice background, is still fairly young but not exceedingly so and has been around some pretty good coaches in his time.

Jim Fassel was interviewed on 95.7 this afternoon and was asked by Pop what he thought of the young coordinators getting interviews this year. He basically talked about how, when he interviewed with the Giants, the owner said that based on his work in Denver with Elway, he wouldn't have hired Fassel because it was tough to tell whether Denver's offensive success was primarily due to having a great QB. But then the owner commented that on every subsequent stop, Fassel improved the offense that he inherited and it was the incremental improvements shown on teams without a top tier QB that persuaded the Giants to hire Fassel.

Fassel went on to say that Gase and McDaniels need to move on from their current situations and coordinate for other teams to get out from under the shadows of their QBs. Without that type of seasoning, it is difficult (for Fassel at least) to gauge how good of coordinators these guys are, let alone whether they have HC qualities.

Say what you want about Jim Fassel, but from a guy that went through the process, moved around, and had success, it was a good bit of insight about how teams may be evaluating guys like Gase and McDaniels and even Hamilton.

Great insight!

Do you remember SB 40?

Agree, probably the biggest darkhorse out there. Kind of reminds of Tomlin when Pit hired him. Austin is much older, but similar resume in that he's only been a coordinator for one season. Also seems to have a very strong personality that would impress in an interview.

That Lions defense, going from 15th in the NFL to 2nd, without any real personnel changes,is pretty impressive.

Well they have had one of the best defensive lines in the league for a few seasons.
