So, I bring in all of the best and brightest minds in football right now to interview, regardless of my intention to hire them or not. Make it thorough as **** - all big swinging dicks. Aside from the basic aspects of the interview, where background is described and skills are discussed, I have them all complete a huge exercise of describing one thing:

"Lay out your plan for bringing Kansas City a Super Bowl, in detail, and as comprehensive as possible."

I record all of these discussions, and I keep all of the materials that they provide - reports, analysis, etc...

At that point, I make my selection, and hand them everyone else's analysis of what needs to happen. Cherry pick all of the great ideas from a pool of very good ideas.

solid!
