Your crystal ball is brokenexcellent. . . not only did they more or less eliminate one of the candidates i actually like, but they left themselves with three instead of two. . .
let's see. . . it is now 1:30 PM here in denver-- at the very most they could have one interview scheduled still for today, but most likely not. . . if they're going to do three second interviews, it's inevitably going to stretch into next week. . . it'll probably be wednesday before we officially hire anyone-- which effectively adds up to another entire lost week of time that COULD be used assembling a staff. . .
it's NOT that i'm just impatient for them to name a coach, i'm pretty much apathetic to their list of candidates anyway. . . but it would really be nice to give ourselves and our new coach a fair chance to interview some QUALITY assistants before we're down to the very dregs of the barrel. . . if we put a coach in place today or even tomorrow we could probably interview greg manusky or rob ryan for a DC or assistant HC/defense position. . . those guys AREN'T just going to be waiting around, though. . . manusky's already conducted multiple interviews (including one for HC), and i'm guessing ryan won't be far behind (or more likely, has a verbal agreement in place to stay with the browns pending their hire). . .
the longer we drag this out, the greater the odds we'll be left with no appealing options, choosing between some retread like G-rob or dave campo or some no-name college coordinator or unheard-of position coach-- or wink martindale. . . hey, give him a shot, right?
