If they didn't have to give up the picks for Payton, sign me up. Harbaugh? I think he's leveraging for another big Michigan payday and really not sold on him as an NFL HC.

Denver will end up with Dan Quinn. Quinn had two strong seasons out of 5.5 years with ATL when Ryan and company were good. That's it, but he's going to get a 2nd chance and it will likely be Denver. They interviewed him last year and liked him.

I say that because I honestly don't think this new ownership group can take a chance on another first time head coach. Too many recent failures in Denver and across the league, they'll look to bring someone in that is on his 2nd or 3rd time as a head coach.

Guys like Lovie Smith and Caldwell... they're just not good HC material.

I'm sure they love Evero, but my guess is that he will want to start somewhere new and not follow Hackett considering he is 'tied' to Hackett. I'm not sure where I stand really with him in the HC role.

Morris? No thanks.

I'll be surprised if they go with a guy that is looking at his first time in the role again, but we'll find out soon.

Well HOLY SHIT, WE AGREE!!!
