newer/youngish offensive minds have been the flavor of the month with regards to HC hires during recent times, and that's all well and good but i'd like us to seriously consider the candidate's leadership abilities as well. on top of everything else, he's got to be able to connect with the players and lead a locker room of men
like JE said, in this regard it would be nice to be able to bring somebody in that has actually shown success as a HC at the NFL level. the problem is it might be very hard to convince somebody like that to come to this team/franchise as currently constituted in terms of roster and reporting structure.
i like harbaugh, brady, smith (due in large part to his success in de-gase'ing tannehill, although this is just an n of 1) but can totally see the johnsons giving a shot to somebody like bieniemy. i wouldn't want us to be the franchise to take that sort of leap of faith but can see it happening
