I'll take the only guy on this list with a Lombardi and tons of playoff wins on his resume as a Head Coach. We've never had a guy with that kind of resume in Cincinnati, so heck yeah I'd jump all over that. Not to mention that I want an offensive minded coach after 14 years of Marv and 3 years of Lebeau. I have to laugh at any Bengals fan who scoffs at a coach as decorated as McCarthy. We'd be lucky to have him.
Also, fwiw, McCarthy never had full control in GB, so it's quite possible he'd be more than willing to swap out Ted Thompson for Tobin and co.
Not sure I understanding the love fest for Vance. Ever since it was announced that we blocked him from a promotion a couple years ago, people just ran with that like he was some brilliant up and comer. He can't even turn around Miami's defense, but we want to give him the keys to this team for 5-10 years? Over a proven winner with a sparkling playoff resume?
Also not sure about any NE assistant. How many of their coordinators have flopped as head coaches? Including McDaniel, who was a nightmare in Denver. Bill O'Brien is the only one who has had even modest success. Bill makes a lot of people look good.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
