Being unemployed during the first half of the season wouldn't exactly look great on his resume if it doesn't pan out..Yeah, there's only 32 HC jobs in the NFL, but it's not exactly the most secure job ever known in football and working for a complete schmuck? Iffy at best..Agreed. I posted about how WE were once seen as an undesirable location too, but a huge difference between MB and the Panthers owner is MB is loyal. As bad as Zac's first couple years here were, MB stuck with him. I believe they were quoted as being "bullish" on Zac going into Year 3 where a lot of us fans were calling for his head. That guy in Carolina woulda served up ZT to the Carolina firing squads in year ONE.
I get that NFL coaching is an exclusive fraternity. And getting one of these jobs is rare, but with the yearly turnover in the HC ranks, its not THAT big of a gamble passing on a REALLY bad job opportunity in the current year for a better one the following, is it?!
