Zak Taylor's replacement

I'd take a hard look at Darrell Bevell(current OC for Detroit, former OC for Seattle).  He was the guy who lobbied hard for the Seahawks to draft Russell Wilson.  He also helped to build the "jazz" offense from the ground up that makes Wilson so deadly.  KC's offense seems like a rehash of some of Bevell's concepts.

Don Martindale(Ravens DC) is another interesting candidate to my eyes.  The Baltimore defense was good before he was promoted from LB coach to DC, but it has been bona-fide elite ever since he took over the coordinator position.  Going with an "offensive minded" HC might be all the rage, but this guy has a sterling resume and likely has a great rolodex of contacts in the coaching world.

I've seen people make a good case for Pete Carmichael Jr.(Saints OC since '09), but the Saints offense was 1st in the league in '08.  I'd look for guys who built something from scratch or who have piloted a great turnaround over guys who walked into great situations and kept the ball rolling.

For GM I think that if he can make a convincing pitch that he can handle the contracts/math/bean counting aspect of the job, you offer the moon to Mike Borgonzi and never look back.  

I would NOT consider McDaniels after what he did to the Colts.  Absolutely untrustworthy type of a dude.

Jerrod Mayo and Anthony Lynn could be very interesting coordinator hires if they're available next year.

The current state of affairs just isn't fair to ZT, Joe Burrow, any of the players, or the fans.  The guy just wasn't ready.  There couldn't be a better time to start fresh with a total reboot.  If they find some good executive decision makers, this young core can be dangerous.

Great list Bilbo. Like all your thoughts as well. Cool
