I saw people on the NFL subreddit (probably Saints fans), and they were talking about it like, the Saints would be giving the coach assurances that this would be like a 5 year commitment, 2 years to blow it up and then start a 3 year rebuild. I just don’t see how that can be a given. Very few teams can commit to a long term vision, after 3 years of sucking, whether it’s their fault or not, that coach is probably getting fired because everything will be stale, the locker room vibes are going to suck because all the players know it’s just a paycheck at that point. They’ll be ready for a breath of fresh air and bring in a new coach.
If I was a coach that was getting multiple HC interviews, I’d probably just wait it out. Maybe I’d consider doing it a year at a time. Something like $20M a year, but only for a year. Keep my options open. Maybe if everyone saw me overperforming that job, it would open up other options? I just don’t know how you would commit to like a 4 year deal or something.

There is a lot of dysfunction in Jacksonville and Khan is kind of bizarre, I think that is why it is not an attractive job. I think Baalke was a deterrent as well.

I think it was mostly Baalke. Nobody wanted to work with him. I feel like Jacksonville probably isn’t the most desirable spot, but a lot of guys would have given it a go if they felt they would have been given an honest chance.

Back in the 70's when anyone hired a coach they would often say "We're on a 5-year plan." I haven't heard that in a long, long time. A lot of owners these days are on a one-year plan - hire a guy, get pissed, fire him after a year. Or 2 or 3 if they feel patient.

I dont know if I ever recall seeing something that extensive in one off-season.
That's crazy!
You look at the position they were and moved on to and its clearly a promotion each time.
I dont know what the Lions org could have done to keep some/all theses guys???
