Bruhs,
This coaching search will start and end with Jimmy Haslam. Remove your personal bias and preferences. Remember who the owner of the team is. Did y'all forget how hard he went after Chip Kelly and Jim Harbaugh? The Haslams got their start in the NFL from The Steelers organization. What that basically means is if the league committee or coaching firms say that candidate A, B, and C are the highly recommended candidates then expect him to make a play for them. As much as people don't like some of the names being thrown out as retreads you need to remember who the owner is.
I know people want to think Jimmy Haslam has taken a step back and has allowed John Dorsey to do his thing. I'm sure he has done just that. To an extent. Now with more scrutiny coming our way after this horrible season you really think Haslam has it in him not to do what his gut is telling him? I'm not saying I know what he's thinking either. I do know and we all know from past history what his tendencies are and the type of coaches he has interest in. If anything the way this season has turned out he probably feels he has even more reason to go get his big fish. That's why names like Jim Harbaugh, Bill Cowher, Saban aren't going anywhere if this team has an opening. I know Freddie has not been fired yet but you're kidding yourself if you don't think Haslam isn't gonna kick the tires on any of the big names if he hasn't already. I just have no reason to believe that he won't and I don't care what John Dorsey comes out and says. It starts at the top and Jimmy Haslam is at the top.
So with that said I'm fully prepared for us to fire Freddie and hire a retread who probably won't be popular with most of us but it is what it is. We can't fire the owner and I just think that people are forgetting who owns the team.
