I think it’s the exact opposite for most coaches. They love a challenge and their egos tell them they are the ones that can fix things. The only coaches that want a premade winner are older coaches that have already won championships in their career.

Coaches want to go somewhere where they think they can win. Turning around a bad team isn't necessarily an issue but they will want the tools to do it. This wasn't on offer in early 2019. No high draft picks, no big FA acquisitions on a really bad D with big holes and an ownership unwilling to move on from veterans who don't buy in.

It's why we ended up with our 8th choice (or whatever it was) DC. Anyone with options gave it a wide berth.
