Land of Misfit Coaching Candiates - Names No Longer Discussed

Recommended Posts

Seeing so many coaches offered up as potential candidates got me to thinking about coaches we used to talk about that are in theory, just as available as a Bill Cowher or Mike Shanahan.

 

Guys like:

 

Brian Billick

Jim Fassel

Butch Davis

Steve Spagnuolo

Jeff Jagodzinski

Kirk Ferentz

Mike Tice

Charlie Strong

Rob Chudzinski

 

I'm sure there are others.

 

Why do these guys disappear off radar screens but the Cowhers and Shanahans are permanent fixtures?

I was thinking yesterday, and nearly mentioned in the Rooney rule thread.... the last time the Bills were hiring Ray Horton, fresh from doing a good job as defensive coordinator in Arizona with a kind of "no name" defense was a hot name and was interviewed right across the league. Yes it may have been a bit of a Rooney rule box tick, but someone who gets that many interviews was clearly considered worthy. Since then a year that started well and then went south quickly as DC in Cleveland and then a nightmare year with the Titans back with his former boss in Arizona Ken Whisenthunt and he is completely off the radar.
