These HC searches, owners typically lean on advisors outside the club on who to hire - the Bill Parcells, the Ernie Accorsis of the football world. We know MD got burned on the last search that involved Ken Herock.

Just watching Fox this morning - you would think people like Howie Long and Charles Woodson could lend an ear to MD? They still have their finger on the pulse of the league. Even Jimmy Johnson could be a good advisor in a search.

FYI - I’m not of the camp that says the GM should hire a HC. Some input maybe. But HC is an owner call. GMs are talent evaluators IMO.
