Definitely.

As has been said other times in other discussions, there's 32 NFL head coaching positions. That's it. There's more coordinator positions, but you're still talking, what, under 100 HCs, OCs and DCs total? Not a lot of openings, but thousands of guys who would like to be there.

Do some constraints or situations scare off potential former coaches? Sure, but you're talking about a short list of guys who come up in every conversation ... and never come out of retirement. Mike Brown isn't going to scare Cowher off of un-retiring. The fear of losing his legacy is. Guys like that know there's a lot of luck and timing involved in winning a championships. And there's a lot of work involved being in position to be ready when that time is right.

There's good coaches out there. We've done a good job of bringing in good coaches (some who are currently serving as good coaches at the helms of other teams), why night bring in a better HC?
