I know Fangio got one, but I just don't see Spags getting another shot at it. He's just had too many flame-outs as a HC and the league is trending too heavily towards offense and younger HCs. Moreover, I think you're going to see an even stronger behind the scenes push for minority candidates. I suspect the league will be leaning on these owners behind closed doors.
My hope would be that we win a couple of championships and if he still isn't getting HC looks he gets bumped up into the 'Childress' role where he's an advisor and assistant HC or something.
But it's gonna be damn near impossible to hold this staff together for more than 1 more season. Guys like Merritt and House will be extremely popular DC candidates. Obviously Daly will be. There are only so many chairs big enough for 'em.
If the Chiefs defense has any sort of showing at all in this SB and manages to be average or better next season, we'll probably end up getting picked clean. I could see 2/3 of that staff getting snapped up. We knew when we got both House and Daly that they were steals and probably overqualified to be mere position coaches. These were always stepping stone gigs.
