To acquire coaching talent, it is going to take capital. Trades for coaches are rare. Usually, it is real money that needs to be spent.
We have seen OC's get head coaching jobs, especially the new-school more innovative guys that have come from the Shanahan/McVey/LaFleur pipeline. It is either that or hire a college guy that will install his program.
Either way, these guys cost money. So you essentially have to spend a lot of money and/or have some untapped talent on the roster that would be attractive to a new coaching staff. Mike McDaniel signed an extension that is somewhere between $3.5-$4 million before the season. Not a great example given what we just saw, but that is a good idea of what a new, innovative coach would command.
With Maye in the fold and some young wide receivers, I guess you could squint hard and see that there is something there on offense that a new, offensive-minded coach could build upon. Back to the money, I am just not convinced that the Krafts would spend a lot of money to bring in a new, hot shot coach.
I am pretty sure BB was making a lot of money compared to other coaches, but he also did the job of 3 or 4 people. There has been some big time Brain Drain on this staff and I am not sure what the answer is going forward. I am not calling for Mayo's job, but going with a defense-first coach and then handing the offense to a journeyman with little play calling background is incredibly frustrating.
