A series of HC polls, please give me your candidates

Is Marty Schottenheimer still alive?

Yes. He’s 77 years old.

Right up the Lions alley, means he will probably die before getting fired.

I like him. His age is getting up there and he will want full control. They could do a lot worse. He demands perfection in every aspect.

I want competence. Age is a consideration but not a major one. I think Stafford’s window is closing and Shannahan would be worth consideration given that situation.

I think the allure of a running game is pretty enticing. When he’s had competent QB play he’s also had good rushing attacks. Here are team rushing ranks during his time in Denver (much of which was with Griese, Plummer, Cutler level QB play):

5, 1, 4, 2, 12, 3, 10, 5, 2, 4, 2, 8, 9, 12

That’s an average of between 6 and 7.

If nothing else I’d be curious to see what Staff is like with a rushing game.
