I wouldn't mind but the theme with our coaches is "Tampa North" which basically means Jay likes hiring guys he or our front office have worked with before, typically from TB. If he breaks the mold and hires a guy he's not familiar with, like Wade Phillips/etc. that would be great but I'm not holding my breath. I really don't want Greg Manusky though, so if we end up with him I won't be too happy. He needs a coordinator with a proven track record, or a position coach that learned under the master.
