Head Coach Candidates 2026 Edition

[AvgJoe]

I’ll be curious to see who Brinker and Borgonzi want to talk to when they can. But as every day passes, the more I like Robert Saleh if we do go the defensive route

I'd like to know if Callahan has now scared the brass off hiring a first time head coach again, or if they would still be willing to give another young first timer a shot.  Kafka, Eddie, whoever, vs. a retread HC, just for stability's sake.

I think Eddie would be in a different category because he is a HC in college and his connection to the franchise already.

Totally forgot that Saleh was in line for a second interview w/Jax before they hired Coen.

I hadn't even checked him out since he started coaching.  Here's his info so far...

I mean, he would at least understand the rules better than BC.  

 

I wonder if Borgonzi is going to make some rules questions part of the interview process.  That and maybe ask how many of his friends/family he wants to bring aboard if he were to get the job.

Hopefully it scares them off from hiring a non -playcalling OC from an underachieving offense.
