I find that people misjudge the value of head coaching jobs at both ends of the spectrum.
It is true there are only 32 of them. So I'm lol at the self interested Washington fans who are pissed to lose McVay and insist he should have waited for a "better spot" at the age of 30. You mean like Kyle Shanahan, who has been deemed ready for some time but may lose out again if he doesn't get the SF gig, which could go to one of the NE coordinators or someone else?
On the other hand, for former accomplished coaches with choices, teams and many others really underestimate being on a national broadcast weekly and paid $5 million plus per year for this effort. If it's not the best gig in America, it's damn close. So Cowher was forever jumping back into coaching, especially for that fantastic Giants job. Now I guess it's Gruden's turn. Both are smart guys and would not go near Indianapolis on a dare.
